All on airline/hotel forums.
Even that fairly curt reply may have helped a newbie find an answer about miles and points.
Mongolian Word Assocation Threads never have.
Those are my points but from the other side. Why is the focus on OMNI as a whole so special then? Why not fix the real problem with OMNI (which some simple moderation could easily do) instead of trying to lessen OMNI's value to FT? OMNI provides real value to FT yet through the abuse of some posters we are going to basically relegate the whole forum to second class status instead of dealing directly with those issues?
Maybe my understanding of what OMNI is intended to be is different than mosts but I browse another forum which have a similar forum for all other posts but just pure spamming isnt allowed in there either. OMNI allows for discussions on other topics not directly related to travel. OMNI is not the issue but the abuse and gaming of certain threads in OMNI is the issue. Yet all people are doing is treating OMNI as the issue instead of focusing on the real problems
