I am not criticizing anyone's moderation of the site, but when so many other topics are consolidated into larger threads, why are so many individual threads about one particular airline allowed?

Is DL taking delivery of A350’s from NRT to avoid tariffs?
DL adds FAT-LAX
Delta Aircraft Refurbishment Thread - 2020
Delta LGA Progress
DL commits to no furloughs for F/As & ground employees
Delta-LATAM sign JV Agreement
DL puts up SkyMiles as collateral for loan facility
DL to permanently retire entire 777 fleet
All of those threads active in the past week.
And the "Delta to emerge as a smaller carrier" thread went on for months and months.

How about you don't, because you know that's not the right place for it. Let's just try being patient next time. We can't be on here all of the time at your beck and call. I'm on the only vacation I'm getting this year, but since you need an answer so badly, here we go.departedflights wrote:I am curious as to why there are so many Delta threads allowed in the Civil Aviation forum.

Presumably because someone makes a thread about Delta, because that's what they want to discuss. We don't have quotas on how many threads of something can be discussed here. They're allowed because they're different subjects. If you can find me a rule that says only a certain number of discussions are allowed, then I'll enforce it. I'll save you the time though, because it isn't in there.departedflights wrote:On the first page of the forum right now we have:

I'm not really sure what your point is here. Yes, there are too many carrier specific yearly threads, and they'll probably be combined into one for 2021 like the United thread was this year. The only reason there's one United thread instead of three is because it was combined this year to see if it worked. It did, so it will be carried over to the others.
Other than that, you listed about seven topics that are all valid discussions. What is the answer that you want to hear? Do you want me to delete them because you don't like looking at so many Delta threads? Do you want me to merge them all into one thread? I'm not sure what it is that you're aiming to accomplish here — our job is to facilitate discussions, and if 10 different Delta threads are what people want to discuss, then that's how this works.

As it stands there are already two separate 2021 fleet and network threads for American.
Happy New Year!
