If we started not counting, the "Kip Hawley is an idiot", "TSA sucks", the Birthday threads, the lounge threads, and the like wouldn't we be guilty of floccinaucinihilipilification for all of the posts in these threads other non-mile and point forums like what was done to OMNI?

While some people may see them as anoying and useless (there are times when I certainly do), I would submit that there is no real difference between them and OMNI. They all serve a useful purpose for the community as a whole. I may not appreciate some of their purposes, but they do serve a purpose and for that I submit they should all be treated the same.

I think all of the forums should be treated equally, with all respects including moderation. Right now there is the perception that all forums are equal, but some are more equal then others and I think this perception needs to be addressed before any long term solution can truely be found.
