I think this is an excellent move but would like to offer a suggestion. I think it would be better if Newstand and Security posts were not considered as being part of "miles, points or travel."

The reason is simple: As of late, these forums have started to become "Omnized". If posts in them are counted, the people who are currently not contributing will simply go to them, make their 100 posts there (disrupting these forums even further), and then move back to Omni.
