Shouldn't we just have a sticky of a 'Flyertalkers Judgment of Others Human Decency Scale' we can point new posters towards when they can be expected to be roasted by members or otherwise applauded for being 'clever' in ways of saving money?

Something like (with 10 being the most evil person in history, and 1 being applauded as a Flyertalker hero?)

10 - 'Self-upgrading' yourself to an empty Club seat once on board and hoping the cabin crew don't notice & feign ignorance
9 - Pretending to be disabled to get free seat selection
8 - Asking for BA's CEO's e-mail to complain about something really minor as you're really important so you think.
7 - Telling staff / other passengers 'Don't you know who I am'
6 - Starting a thread saying 'I'll never fly BA again / BA is the worst airline ever' with your one and only post on Flyertalk.
5- Guesting someone you don't know into an already packed lounge
4 - Saying 'But i'm a Blue/Bronze/Silver card holder' when trying to jump a queue
3 - Threatening legal action if BA cancel what is blatantly a mistake fare
2 - Being prepared to lie about an illness in case they get caught not taking final leg on an Ex-EU ticket
1 - Lying about where they live when buying flights to avoid paying BA's credit card surcharge.

Did I miss anything? I know i'm in double figures so should definitely never show my face again...!
