This thread is now locked. Please see my announcement.

Further to my announcement Reminder of our Terms of Services which we will now be enforcing more strictly (17 March), it disappoints me to report that some members continue to flaunt our guidelines by posting disrespectful, bullying, argumentative, and generally unconstructive comments...

I agree 100%. This quibbling is getting very tiresome. It's a distraction and in really bad taste given the sensitivities of the topic. I'm hoping that it won't come to it, but action will be taken if this continues.

As you know we never discus moderation publicly. But rest assured that we (the moderation team and myself) follow all threads pretty closely and if a post breaches our TOS, we do take action. We are a broad community with a range of opinions - some of which you make not agree with. If this is...

As you probably know our paid SILVER and GOLD members don't see advertisements on any AFF forum and article page. Given that many of our members (especially us Victorians!) are stuck at home spending hours online, I thought it would be a good time for our non-paid members to experience an...

I know that many of us have an interest in what is happening in regard to state border restrictions. So I have therefore created this (sticky) thread so that we can "crowd source" the latest information. As at 7 August, the situation is best described in Matt's article which was published in...

Further to my announcement yesterday, we have now completed the changes to the AFF structure. Nothing drastic - just some new forum categories (such as "Ground Transport, Cruising & Rail") and forums (such as "Train Travel"). We have also moved some existing forums into the new categories, and...

Just a heads-up that we are planning on making some changes to the AFF structure in the coming days. The structure (ie. the layout of categories and forums on Australian Frequent Flyer) hasn't really been changed in almost 20 years! So it's long overdue :) To prepare we have already made some...

Sorry - its no longer available. I did send you a message.

Like many others I've been taking advantage of the lockdown to brush up on my domestic skills. This includes baking sourdough bread. As you may know a "starter" is required to get started. I purchased the starter (+ instructions) on ebay -...

You can't be serious!! Closing this thread - nothing more to say.

Time to close this thread

As we all know this is a very difficult time for many, many people. In addition to the financial, social & health hardships we are experiencing, as avid travellers we are now also unable to enjoy the "privilege of travel" which many of us have experienced over the years. Tough as this is for us...

Since my last community announcement just over 2 weeks ago, the situation has unfortunately only been getting worse with a truely devastating impact on individual lives, our society, our economy and of course the airline industry. To ensure our members can easily find information and discuss...

Over the last few weeks I've been unhappy with the 'general tone' of some posts from some of our members. I'm not sure if it's to do with the bushfires, floods, or the anxiety surrounding the Coronavirus. Whatever the reason, the moderators and I find this unacceptable and we will be taking...

For those who feel they are unable to exercise while confined to a small space, take a look at the (50 year old!) Canadian Airforce exercise plan. You can google it or use something like https://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~rfburger/5bx-plan.pdf as a reference. Basically, it was developed to ensure...

22 March: Please see update HERE We’ve noticed a large number of new threads discussing the current coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and its impact on travel. This is completely understandable and will hopefully assist our members in working through the travel and related challenges we are all...

Just a reminder that we don't permit any public discussion on (or advice for) moderation and have therefore removed some posts from this thread. Posts or topics discussing moderator actions or AFF Management practices are not permitted and will be removed...
