Well, tcook052, you could always ask for a refund of the VAST amount of money that you have paid for the use of FT.

The forum is NOT moderated and so far these giveaways (NO TRADES) were running smoothly until someone DIDN'TGET HIS OR HER WAY and decided to take revenge.
This whole mayhem is just a jejeunal situation caused by some who do not accept the way the AC forum has been running. JMHO

I myself would prefer that the TS&S forum be un-moderated. But, it, like the REST of the board, is! You don't see my whining and crying, do you?????????????
Why do the participants of the AC forum feel that they should be treated any different than the participants of ALL of the other forums on FT?????????????????????

Randy appointed three senior moderators for a time of testing. The "report bad post" emails come to those senior moderators. Those emails make us specifically aware of posts/threads that are violating Randy's stated rules. We deal with them according to those rules.
Your beef is with Randy, not the senior mods. Would it be possible to wait for him to clarify?

I'm really not sure why that is relevant. But, as I say, I hope Randy will clarify his thinking and the mods, as always, will respect and honor that.

We did not ask to be treated differently - there was a friendly spirit of "help thy neighbours with GIVEAWAYS when thou do not need them ( instead of letting them go to waste)" and it was running smoothly without interference until someone decided otherwise because his or her request was not met.

SOME of the AC forum regulars do not want moderators and are whining and crying about that fact.
PERIOD

And you are a regular contributor to the AC forum, so have a lot of insight into what has been going on?
We go through this ad nauseum. It's a fairly contented, if occasionally rough and tumble place until the moderation issue comes up. Then, what was an environment that was working well gets into this mess over and over again, usually caused by a few provocateurs.
And yes, to whomever questioned me before on "spoiled" -- it has been spoiled in the past few days. A lot of threads focusing on this issue, and a lot of the main posters going elsewhere.

The whole issue is NOT about the forum being MODERATED but keeping the forum spirit (which is unique) of offering giveaways to fellow AP FFers who may need them WITHOUT asking anything in return.
If this is hard to swallow, then let it be...........................

[QUOTE=Punki
I would happily offer the upgrades on the AS forum to folks who understand the rules and could actually use the upgrades, but since I can't, I just throw them in the garbage as soon as they arrive in the mail.

Interesting point.I have 2 SSWU AC coupons that I was going to offer up next week.Not interestedat all in responding to many inquiries on CC.
The only avenue I will use now is the AC concierges at YYZ who will most likely only get them to ACSE customers(Elites and Prestiges do not have access to these people.)

We all know that Canada doesn't want moderation, but the whole anti-moderator attitude doesn't look very good on you.
