I don't understand the rationale, that something doesn't warrant 'opening a thread' any question asked can be answered by calling BA so by that rationale this whole forum with exception to a few posts is pointless
what's the point of having this forum, which has some incredibly knowledgable giving up there time for nothing when you get scornful remarks, I suppose that's the nature of the beast that is internet forums.
Well I suppose the point is there's more than one type of thread started here. Sometimes people ask for assistance or information. Sometimes people just want to rant/moan/complain. Those who just ask for information seldom receive anything less pleasant by way of reply than a post linking to some of the umpteen threads in which their question has been answered before, but those who complain may find that others express the view, and not always in the politest terms, that the complaint is unjustified. Your OP reads very much like a complaint (and the somewhat DYKWIAish "without my approval" in the title doesn't help here), and if it was a complaint it was a silly one since, as has been pointed out, BA's automatic re-booking system is beneficial not harmful. Had it been phrased merely as a request for information, I'm sure you would not have had your feelings hurt by any of the responses.
And it's "I would have called", btw.
