I was not happy at all to see the content noted in the above threads. Absolutely no excuse whatsoever and someone at least deserves a strong email and reminder of the goals of all of FlyerTalk at the very least.
As for a moderator - I think it a wonderful idea and related more to the traffic of that forum and the continued growth of FlyerTalk. Members have and will continue to need posting guidance as the traffic grows and I know there are several level-headed members who would not hesitate to give something back to the community in the way of forum volunteer work.
I'll look into this Choula member you all mention. But there may be other volunteers as well. Certainly the Marriott Rewards programs deserves better than desention among some of their members.
Again, thanks for the heads up and please continue to contribute positively to the Marriott Rewards forum.
