Thank you very much, dmfriedman, for your logical answer.

Out of curiosity, what were some of those "higher priority" issues that were discussed in an effort to enhance the level of service provided by the moderators to the general FlyerTalk public?

I will most certainly contact you privately regarding those incidents where the application of suspensions and bans appear, from the outside at least, to be very inconsistent.

Thanks again, Punki
