OK So I am over the 100 count mark, but.....

I have been around since long before my registration or first post. It took me more than a year to register, I go way back with most of the original FTers.

My post count to time ratio would have meant that I could not post to CC or OMNI for quite a while. You know what-- that is not all bad.

CC was getting way out of control, the old adage of abused privileges comes to mind. They were badly abused.

I do agree that post count does not indicate anything other than ability to post and if so inclined someone could accumlate 100 posts within a week-- that too is not good.

However FT is not about CC so lets get over it fast. The fact that CC was getting so out of hand made me virtually stop posting and reading it.

I for one like the new rules, no more $$, no more brokers (albeit some may be close), no more trolls.

But CC is not what FT is about for me. FT is about giving and getting good info on travel, freq programs and other related items (CC is a related item to me). I have gifted to many of you without ever posting.

I assure you if you are an active FTer with our without 100 posts you know who and how to truly give and get value.

Unfortunately the priviledge of CC was badly abused by many. I bet if people randomly start posting (as I think I have seen from some) just to get post count you might see other ways to evaluate who has the PRIVILEDGE.

I know I would want access to post if I did not have it and if the FT team can develop a better indicator of value to FT then post count, great if not then so be it.
