Fare Error Membership Qualification

I fear discussion on this may grow heated, but I think the suggestion is worth making anyway.

I think there is a case to be made for fare errors only being visible to users with a certain time / post qualification (like Coupon Connection and Omni). This would hopefully mean that such fares were available for a longer period of time, and would benefit more FTers so would be in the interests of the wider membership of FT. Currently, there is the potential for some new posters to exploit such errors in a manner which is against the interests of the wider membership. Naturally, there's nothing to stop a more established memeber doing that, although I think it would be less likely.

Obviously, Mileage Run itself should have no viewing qualification. So I'm suggesting that fare errors should have a sub-forum within MR or their own forum so that the qualification thing would work.
