I understand there is a protocol for accessing the OMNI forum. I have searched the FAQ's help options and run various keyword searches and so far I haven't found the guidelines...
I would be interested in at least viewing status on OMNI. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
And thank you for making FT such a wonderful resource.
Hi
steven b. Here's the latest info on obtaining OMNI access ( It's a "sticky" at the top of OMNI ):
Becoming OMNI Enabled
What we value most on FlyerTalk is dialog about the topic of miles and points. It's in our history and in our souls. OMNI grows out of the familiarity of Community, which is actually a good thing. However lately we've found that new members are becoming members of FlyerTalk to take part in the dialog that is OMNI. I have strong feelings this is not the best direction for FlyerTalk. As a result, we've instituted a feature of FlyerTalk that will limit access to both OMNI to those members we feel have contributed enough to FlyerTalk to enjoy the benefits of posting on this forum. The idea that by posting in the miles, points and travel forums, members will better familiarize themselves with the other members they may exchange opinions with later and have developed more sensitivity to them and as well, a sense of respect for the Community we call FlyerTalk. I feel that becoming part of the Community of FlyerTalk will go a long way toward enjoying the other benefits of this wonderful group of people.
The entrance level to enjoy posting in OMNI will be contributing 180 posts to the topic of miles, points or travel, as well as being a member for at least 180 days. It's what we started with and what we still require today. I am sorry if there will be any inconvenience, but certainly we have not taken away your ability to read and enjoy the content in this forum, only the ability to post.
Cheers,
Randy
