From FT Moderator Guidelines:
WHY DO WE HAVE MODERATORS?
FlyerTalk has moderators because it’s an enormous community. … Like a small city, FlyerTalk needs some help to keep things running smoothly.
Moderators serve 3 primary roles. They enforce the rules, provide first-level dispute resolution, and guide posters towards good behaviour. Enforcing the rules is the obvious task, and you will be called upon to take real action, by closing threads, moving them, and even removing them altogether. …

Richard the moderator has chosen not to relocate mis-posts in Travelbuzz due to the fact that the posts might get put in low viewed/responded to forums which will then not get good response time/feedback.</font>
Even I
prefer to run a tight ship, and keep the deck clear so we don't get washed overboard (@
transpac) I would not move threads from TravelBuzz! to relevant subgroups. IMO one moderator cannot enforce the rules (please count the off-topic posts on the first page), and honestly speaking, right now I do not see enough support from the authorities. Please consider the reactions if
richard goes this straight way…
