When the search engine goes back up, how about a feature that blocks one from searching on a member if that member requests so?

While this may be a true statement once every blue moon, the search feature is a valuable tool on Flyertalk. For the most part, after you're here a while, you can figure out who's been naughty and who's been nice.

For those who are looking to trade/gift in Coupon Connection, a search of a members postings provides enough info to see if that poster is always a give me give me poster. Many times I have not sent a free cert to someone who always takes, but never gives.

As for the statement above about FT being 'littered' (my words) with the same new questions over and over again... oh well. Does make for some interesting reading.
