Have you emailed the moderator that closed the thread?

Moderators make judgment calls, and speaking only for myself I'm open to having those calls criticized. Sometimes another poster will see things in a different way than I did, and I've been known to re-open a thread if a convincing case can be made.

Just wondering if you've tried that route before venting your frustration here?

In this particular case, I think it's pretty clear that the discussion of the promo is going on in the Northwest forum and that the discussion should probably stay there. pgary posted a cross-reference to the promo, Moderator2 closed the thread so that the discussion would stay unified in one place, you and many others learned about the promo from the cross-reference. I'm not sure I see the problem exactly, but I'm dense sometimes (and I didn't receive an email from you, either).

Admittedly a closed thread will fall off the board after a few days, but so will a cross-reference that's left open if all the discussion ends up in the airline forum in question.

Which is why something like:
is probably a very good idea. I actually mentioned to a poster yesterday that I might try to put together a thread referencing some of the best opportunities throughout the board. I haven't quite gotten there, and I'm not sure that I will, but if you wanted to scour Flyertalk and update such a post it would probably be sticky-worthy. (I'm not sure the answer is Inside Flyer's Top 10 but that's debateable certainly.)

As for I see that you posted in the thread rather than reporting the post to a moderator or emailing about it.

I posted a couple answers in the thread, and I'll tell you why. The poster asked about claiming an Air France award with miles from other accounts. The poster laid out miles from several programs and asked how to redeem those miles, with the goal being a seat on an Air France plane.

The Frequence Plus program wasn't actually an issue here at all. It was kind of a 'mileage makeover' question, which has historically been considered quite appropriate for MilesBuzz.

So I didn't think it off-topic at all, and was even surprised by your take. But you are always welcome to make the case (and provide a bit more explanation than just "Buzz........?") and I'm more than happy to listen.
