If we are going to be honest with ourselves, questions about moderators, the closing of Omni, the resignations of some members, the banning of others, and the loss of reputaton/signatures/thread ratings are all closely related.

While I do feel that these are things which should be discussed, the unfortunate fact is that they have spread throughout the site.

There are currently threads dealing with them on ORP, TalkBoard, CommunityBuzz, and the Lufthansa Forum. (These are the ones I have seen -- there may well be more.)

I have the very uncomfortable feeling that such proliferation is not in the least healthy for FlyerTalk.
