Could this be it--Abuse of Private Messaging and FT E-mails? But it only applies to use PMs on FT.

Anyone who belongs to a FB group can send out a message which will be received by all members of that group. This is a function of Facebook that is unrelated to FT or the flyertalk.com FB group. It's the way their defaults are set up on Facebook, and you must specifically change your settings if you wish the site to function differently for you. Just because you receive a message from a group member, doesn't mean there's anything official about it; it's just a regular member's privilege to message the other members.

As to the logo, I believe that any message coming to you from a group that you belong to comes with the logo of that group; if you decided to send a message out to the group, the same FT logo would appear. If you actually open his message, you will see that he has his own personal photo as his profile picture.

I hope this clears up some of the confusion; if not, please let me know and I'll try to clarify.

Thank you!

Thanks for answering this...and from this answer it must be assumed that no action will be taken towards this "member"? And as such the use of the Flyertalk logo on communications NOT from Flyertalk is OK by Internetbrands?
