Moderators Keep on Moderating

8 closed topics on the front page alone. The topic on the Pudding Guy film got 7 responses in a little more than two hours, but was then closed.

My vote is that moderators deal with truly problem posts-obscene, commercial ads and the like. And leave matters of preference and editing alone.

Randy Petersen should keep a small copy of Prodigy's trademark on his key chain. They sent moderators into bulletin boards to keep everyone on topic too.

I have a crystal ball.

I see in my ball that it will be NINE locked threads any moment soon.

While I understand the complaint, in defense of the moderators, it really shouldn't be necessary to tell some of these people who have hundreds, if not a couple thousand, posts on FT what belongs in Buzz. If we only remove things for problems, then we will only have one forum, Miles Buzz, because everyone will just post everything there. Alarm in your hotel? Miles Buzz? Wondering if a passenger arrived? Miles buzz? Ticket rules on non-refundable tickets? Miles Buzz?

And if everything then goes in Miles buzz, good luck finding something relating to a specific program.

Moderator practices and procedures should be addressed to Randy Petersen. My suggestion is to send Randy an email or start a new thread in the "Randy Petersen" board.

"MilesBuzz" or "Community", etc. is not the appropriate forum for this type of discussion.
