I was wondering if you could proved the % of this occuring.
I'm sure you'd admit that this is the exception rather than the rule.

I don't know. Every single one of the Moderators complaints has been:
"
I can't...,"
"
I 'm not able..."
"
I wish..."
"
I don't see..."
"
I can no longer..."
Even including Moderator-specific complaints...
As a FlyerTalk moderator, I really, really need the ability to be able to search by title.
...and really interferes with my duties as a moderator.
From anyone's perspective, it seems that they are acting out of their OWN best interest.
Not a single Moderator has uttered anything along the lines of, "I think the Community would enjoy..." -OR- has a Moderator solicited opinions of the general membership? I don't think so. THEREFORE one can only conclude that they are not representing the community, but only their personal needs.
But to bring it back on topic, has the TalkBoard, as a Board, been offered the opportunity to meet IB in person?
