Threads getting moved

[TBH]

This is confusing: I type a thread about the uefa cup and post it in the sports sub-forum, it gets moved to General forum. Macdwight posts in the General forum about the uefa cup and it gets moved to the sports sub-forum.
What is going on folks?:confused

[DeHaviLand]

Aye, and we need to be more confused:roll:. The sports sub-forum is supposed to be for Caithness sports only. Obviously chatting about something like the UEFA cup lowers the tone of the forum.

Wasn't it the case that we would be promised explanations whenever a thread was moved or removed?

This thread will be removed in 10 - 9 - 8 - :lol:

No, a thread being moved needs no explanation as there should be a link left to follow to its new location. Threads being deleted should, where the action is by a Moderator, have an explanation unless it is where only the OP has posted, in which case a PM (or warning/infraction if justified) is usually sent to the OP to explain why it was removed.

That is why I posted it there. Yes I know the forum is for matters relating to Caithness sports but I thought as it is a special occassion with a scottish team in a European final then nobody would mind.

I PM'd bill about this.

One of the mods doesn't realise the sports section is for local sports only.

I was a bit mistified when the post about names just disapeared. I could not see anything heavy duty on or the Org going wonky again. Can anybody shine a light in that dark corner?

This happened to me as well when I started a thread about Artur Borucgate.
The thread was closed without so much as an explanation.
If a moderator doesn't like the subject then they can close a thread?
There was no malicousness by anyone in the thread just healthy constructive pros and cons.
I have seen threads with words in them that should be removed and there not!!!!
An explanation would have been nice and courteous(after all isnt that on the forum rules or are mods exempt?) :(

You mean this thread? - http://forum.caithness.org/showthread.php?t=47111

As far as I can see it is still open - it just dropped off the 'front page' (current position is bottom of page 8)...

I may be wrong but I don't think it's that one he means. There was one about favoutrite names etc that seems to have vanished. :confused (or perhaps I'm needing glasses.:lol:

It turned out that the Names thread was started as the result of a personal spat between two Orgers, hence why it ended up being removed. It is unfortunate because a lot of other members had contributed to it but that's how it goes when petty behind-the-scenes one-upmanship is going on.

Well that explains it .I must admit I think I go through life with my head in the clouds as all I noticed was a bit of qaulity banter. I was begining to wonder if I said somthing untowards,but I got no red box's so I must be in the clear.lol :lol:. Thanks for that B/B

[Buttercup]

Thanks for clearing that up Bobinovich, but that doesn't appear to follow with what you said, or did I miss the explaination? :confused

In this case the thread was moved by Admin, not a Moderator.

OK Bob, thanks.
