So the only role left for members is to "engage in conversations about miles and points" now? Sad.
No. As has been stated in
this thread, other member-friendly processes for communicating with management are under consideration and are very likely to be put into place.

It primarily got used for matters that were similar to Technical Issues, so was merged with that forum. I rather like the name suggested by the OP as that gives greater clarity than simply saying "suggestions". I do not intend to have an Only Community Director forum, no matter the endless amusement we'd all get from OCD. And I don't intend to respond to every thread that is begun. Rather, I'll be looking for ideas that take root and germinate among members.
