Posting in The Buzz vs. The rest of FT

I was looking at the topics in The Buzz trying to find the latest FF tid bits after being away from FT fro a couple of days and I was thinking that it might be more useful to have just topics that relate to current FF. deals or bonuses etc posted there. Jut as examples,and not to sinbgle out any particular posts surely a topic like "Upgrade theft" belongs in General travel talk, or a topic like "Who's Doc" belongs in FT community? Also what about all these sweepstakes being posted in SPAM?

I know I am a very green member but I thought that those with out much time who just want the latest info on FF deals would find more utility using FT under this format.

Also perhaps this more defined posting in various sections will allieviate some of the dissatisfaction that seems to have arisen. Maybe FT could even move threads to correct areas if they are not correctly posted.

Just a thought anyway.

I agree 100%.

I often read a post and think "Why is this here".

If members would PLEASE read the topic heading of each forum before posting, FT would be a LOT easier to read.

There was a suggestion last week that the topic parameters on:

Be fine tuned a little more.

Mvic, you may be "green" as you say, but a good suggestion is a good suggestion. Thanks.

The topic of what should be posted where has repeatedly come up in FT. I myself thought (and said) that Rudi's posting in the Buzz would have been more appropriate elsewhere, so even veterans can have disagreement on what should be posted where. It is a difficult problem.
