A lot of times the <span style="font-weight: bold">Subject</span> of the thread is what determines if and where the post will be moved. So may I suggest that everyone makes sure that the Subject reflects the content of the thread.

Also, this is not a new initiative and was discussed 3 months ago. However it was a result of a member's question.

We'll try to be more proactive next time there is a policy change or an initiative that affects members to that you know what is happenening before it takes place.

The goal is to make the other forums more active. Since evan is the 2nd most active poster in history, then you will probably have to Bolt after her and others posts a little.

Any feedback on this initiative is appreciated, and if you don't like it, please offer an alternative suggestion on how to offload GD and spread the activity throughout Boardlane more evenly making all forums active. </div></div> </div></div>

orrrrrrrrrr maybe you should at least READ the thread before you move it.

I think you'll agree that it's easier for 35847 members to accurately name their 32000 threads
rather than 20 mods trying to figure out if the "Usain Bolt" thread does or does not belong
in Sports and Fittness.

Re: who moved my cheese?

oh don't be so freaking lame magic. If you have time to take the job, if you have time to read the title...it won't kill you to scan the actual substance of the thread before you move it.

good lord.

get off your pedestal and try reasoning.

Re: who moved my cheese?

So from your line of reasoning then, with this thread renamed 'Who moved my cheese?' an overworked mod/admin would just move it to 'ackee & saltfish' because the title of the thread is more inline with that forum.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Xavier</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Hi Everyone

In an effort to "spread some of the wealth" around I asked moderators to move posts to related forum especially from GD which is sometimes top heavy. This has affected some posters more adversely than others.

I realize that this may be disrupting the flow of posts in the forum. I am revisiting this issue. As many of you know I am flexible to suggestions and feedback. I will be the first to admit if I was wrong. Ultimately this is "our" community so I need to hear from you.

PS: This post is not to address issue you are having with moderators. </div></div>

I believed I raised that issue re moving despite not reading the content in a couple of my transferring cases ...of course it didn't get the full force group attention dat is happening now... dat is part of the pattern I felt it necessary y
to bring to X's attention since I would hate to think he wants to be depicted as a reflection of some who seek to reason on his supposed say so ...

Wen u get threatened wid a warning juss fi setting out logical ansas in an ongoing discussion is wen u realise dat powa (n is juss cyberspce) corrupts indeed
