3. We need a special FT Elite Lounge forum, where we can relax and talk about the FT Gomers and FT Kettles who keep asking dopey questions about how to get free upgrades.
4. We should have available FT Luggage Tags in corresponding FT Elite colors so that we can recognize each other in airports and avoiding talking to those with lower status.
5. We should be eligible for upgrades to bigger fonts. This can either be done on the basis of status, or by awarding FC ("font class") upgrade certs for every 500 posts.
6. Mods should greet FT elites by posting handle every time they enter a forum.
I think this is a very workable idea. Most of all, though, I think we should restore post counts for OMNI.
As another poster has stated
PTravel does have a sense of humor There are times that I think that OMNI post counts should be restored. However I'm not sure how that can be implemented.
Since the post counts from OMNI were no longer counted, I have found OMNI to be a much more interesting place. I post there more than anywhere else. I also have faith in my fellow posters, because they are no longer updating counts, they are talking about what they believe in (and most of the time without any animosity) . In the last few months OMNI has made me think much more than I have thought in the last several years.
If FT post count will score me an F upgrade, I want all of my posts to count.
Regardless of all these problems, I still hope to meet
Spiff one day.
I want to see the hostility to TSA face to face.
