Qantas Lounge Invitations forum post restrictions

[meeeeeeee]

There is a (very fair imo) restriction on new members replying to threads in the QF Lounge Invitations forum, to request an invite from someone giving them away.

However I have just discovered that there is also a restriction on creating new threads - I want to give away 2 passes expiring very very soon. Expiry is 12/13 Sep so there is realistically almost no more time to make changes and transfer and link 24 hours before departure.

Perhaps the restriction should only apply on requesting passes (replying to threads), and not giving them away (starting new ones?)

I'm sure you can appreciate the reasons why we restrict posts in that forum to users with 10 or more posts.

However, there's no need to let perfectly good lounge passes go to waste. I've just made a small change to your account which should allow you to now post in that forum

Fixed and promptly given away, thank you, I hate to see wastage too

I found this thread for exactly the same reason.

I have a single lounge pass to giveaway with a Dec 4th expiry.

Created an account to do it and found I can't create a thread to give something away for 30 days.

Welcome to AFF @ayjayef a nice gesture for your first post.

Thanks for the welcome FF to AFF (from AJF). 'tis looking like a govt dept with all the TLA's.

I think the original poster (meeeeeee) nailed it:

"Perhaps the restriction should only apply on requesting passes (replying to threads), and not giving them away (starting new ones?)"

It would be good if the forum permissions can handle that, more freebies for members.

Welcome to AFF, and a great first post!

I would selfishly love to see if the pass was still available by any chance?

 

[ayjayef]

Date is actually Dec 2nd not 4th.

I just sent you a DM/PM.

Flipped the pass to @mannej

Happy flying.
