Admittedly I posted about AA miles months back but I was unaware of FT/AA policy and promptly deleted the conversation (or requested that a moderator do so). I'd appreciate access to the forum. Thanks People make mistakes, I'm sure he would understand. |
I believe I meet the requirements but I don't appear to have access. Is there a time delay before access is granted?
|
That's a mighty impressive posting run you went on.
Chances are, it is the cause of you not being able to see coupon connection. |
Apologies, didn't know that posting a lot was a problem. If it is, pls let me know what I can do to obtain access. I plan to be a regular contributor to the forum now. Thanks
|
It's not something I control or could control. I was offering a possible explanation.
yes, posting runs to gain access to CC can get your access delayed. You would need to contact the mods of that forum to find out why you can't see it. |
Sorry for the newbie question, but can you tell me how I can lookup the forum moderator if I don't yet have access to the forum? Thx very much.
|
The mods are Spiff & wharvey. You can PM them.
|
183 posts in 4 days, with most in the last 2 days, is, as Mary said, quite a run.
You see, as noted elsewhere, such a sudden change in posting rate and volume (and then with a post in this thread!) is pretty clear evidence, istm, that the goal was to get CC access. |

The Moderators for The Coupon Connection Forum are Spiff and wharvey. But be aware one's longevity and post count are minimum levels of qualification - but I keep seeing "contributive" posts being discussed.
That means "drive by" posts a member makes in a thread s/he is not engaged in, posts with merely a brief comment, a flurry of posts that seem random and uninvolved in a short time period, etc. referred to on FlyerTalk as "post padding" are likely to be indicative of a "post run" and are likely to lead to being masked from TCC Forum. As well, Administrators can reset a member's post count (reduce it) if it appears the member is making many non-contributive posts / a "post run" for TCC access. E.g. 180 can easily be reset to, say, 80. Reading the wiki post at the top of this thread can provide a lot of insight about The Coupon Connection, it's purpose and requirements for admission. Those denied access may request reconsideration no sooner than after ninety days have elapsed from their denial.

Well, if you've traveled a lot and have only been lurking (taking) and not giving back and then go on posting runs to get access to somewhere you'd like to go, that would explain why you probably can't get in.
CC is a "bonus" for contributing members. Eligible active members (two basic criteria are 180 days of being a FlyerTalk member and having 180 or more contributive posts) will be able to see The Coupon Connection in their FlyerTalk Forums list under the Community title. [/hl]If you can not see this Forum, you are ineligible to participate in it[/hl]. FT members will have to assent to abide by the new Rules prior to being granted access. (N.B. The Coupon Connection access is not a right; it is a it is a privilege that is granted for active participation and contribution to FlyerTalk, and at least 180 days of membership and 180 contributive posts. A person's "post count" is just one index of his or her experience on and commitment to FlyerTalk.) |

Post Padding...

Post padding, on the other hand, is not allowed, per FT Rules. If you had read the wikipost in this thread before raising questions, you would have seen all the relevant info such as quoted in JDiver's post. |

Now that the query has been moved to tech support and feedback, and merged into this existing thread, please read the information in the wiki to see if it applies. JDiver Senior Moderator |
