Talk about a new spammer for Flyertalk. Why haven't the moderators simply deleted these threads (on over a dozen different forums) since s/he gets her/his point across by simply having the threads viewable????

Agree. As gleff has so laboriously tallied them here:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum1/HTML/009091.html
This pest has posted exactly the same ad in FIFTEEN forums at least.
As this person is purely using FT as a free ad medium, under the transparent and disingenuous guise of 15 'satisfied user' posts, I would be delighted if every thread were deleted forever, and thus rob him/her of the possible business leads he/she hoped to attract.

All the posts you mentioned I have personally deleted this morning. I have also delted this person from our member rolls and have notified this former member of the breech in posting privileges. As you might have noted, she claimed no relationship with the program. Upon investigation, the same email address for registration belongs to the AdMin of that URL - thus this person lied on FlyerTalk. I have since sent documentation to the programs involved, noting that AllianceBanc Mortgage Corporation, the company behind all this was commiting aplication fraud and have asked them to seek answers.
The moderators did an outstanding job on all this and should be commended for capturing all the details which made the process of deletion that much easier.

Randy:
The thread on the Star Alliance Forum is still active. If you get a chance, might want to delete that one as well.

Amazingly brazen -- when the multi-posted began popping up last night in almost every forum, and IndustrialPatent and I posted skeptical responses, "Wendy" posted exactly the same self-defense, word for word, in every forum where she was challenged. Within minutes. And she explicitly claimed "no relationship" with the mortgage company that was trolling for leads, too.
You don't often see this magical combination of chicanery, industriousness and incompetence. Thanks to Randy and moderators for shutting 'em down so fast.

While your deleting her threads, here is the one in the Oneworld forum that needs to be zapped.
