Community moderation
I think the main purpose of FT is to share actionable information and intel. IMO far too often we have to weed through multiple posts of uninformed opinion, unqualified guessing, off-topic banter, and outright snark to get to anything useful.
There really needs to be a quality control identifier somehow built into Flyertalk. Maybe have a like/dislike button so individual posts with low community feedback can be hidden unless selected (a community activated ignore so to speak.) Only registered FTer's with xxx posts or time as members would qualify for this function.
