If you participate on the AA forum, you've surely noticed the yearly thread there that does allow the giveaway of AA systemwides for a few weeks. It was just closed on March 1 when the bank of expiring February 28 systemwides had expired. Did you give away any there?

If you want the Coupon Connection entry requirements revisited, you need to convince the Talk Board, not any individual on this forum.

My SWUs got used, BXP1s and lounge passes expired. So it goes.

Please read what I said.... I did NOT say your posts were not meaningful....I said your posting history was not a "major level of contribution". That is true.... The Talkboard has set a low threshold... average of 1 post a day for six months to gain access.

Curious myself, just wonder if even posting in this thread will get me "flagged".. Passed 180 and tried CC and Omni and no dice; someone must think I'm not contributing enough. :( Yes, most of my posts are only in UA MP and I post in flurries here and there - but really just tried today as an afterthought when my posts ticked past 180.

Do people get manually vetted when they get past 180, or is there an "organic" threshold and some people get put on a blacklist?

Or shall we never know, as it's a mystery....

Either way no big deal, but the judginess is actually a little off-putting. Been here about 3 years and I just have certain issues I'm passionate about (yes, UA) so do we have to be more well-rounded to access these fora? Does topic of contribution or breadth matter?

FT can do what it wants of course, just would be nice if there was a little more clarity.

I suspect that it might take a day or two after 180 posts for access to appear. Also, there could be cases where a post was deleted but your post counter under your username didn't decrease, so there's a chance that your true count could be under 180. I don't know whether this occurs on FT, but I'm thinking of situations such as where you quote a post that's later deleted, not when a mod deletes your post for cause.

AFAIK breadth doesn't matter as long as you're making travel related contributions, although too many posts like "+1000" would probably be held against you if someone were to look at content.

Ok, it was just me being impatient. Seems there IS a built in delay of some sort. Makes sense.. It just showed up right now, about an hour after passing 180.

Thanks.. I imagine the system runs batch jobs that updates things on a regular basis.

The only vetting beyond the posted criteria includes noncontributive posts. For that, those are generally deleted. Post counts can also be reduced for similar reasons. And in those cases the Coupon Connection Moderators are likely to inform a member s/he has been barred for a time.

If you had all 180 posts in the UA MP forum, that's not a problem. Small delays, yes, because in the end I suspect someone must manually intervene to provide access.

I'm also unable to see the forum anywhere. Any ideas? I've got some AS GGU's burning a hole in my pocket.


thanks

Apologies, I've been on vacation. I logged in today and sure enough, there it was. Thanks to whoever allowed me access.

Cheers,

It seems worthwhile to bump this thread today and suggest that there are those who might find it edifying to read through it :)

Hi, is there any way of accessing CC with less posts?

No.

When I click the link to Coupon Connection, I get an error "You do not have permission to access this page", any ideas? Thanks in advance.
