I will also differ with you about the general value of a post in all of FT. I value the information I obtained in Omni equal to the infomation I receive in Hyatt, or any of the other miles & points forums I frequent.
Yes, the official rules are that the TOS applies fully in OMNI. But that's not the practical reality. It's like a 55 mph speed limit sign in the middle of the desert with only one cop to patrol half the state. People tend to speed.

Yes, OMNI threads can be very valuable. OTOH, nobody's post count is going to change much based solely on valuable posts in those threads. People are (I assume) upset because their post count will go down a lot, and that didn't happen because they handed out detailed legal advice to thousands of people or otherwise providing high value to other members.

Speaking of which, maybe we should drop posts in this forum from the count as well.
