> [@Thudlow\_Boink](#): > > I think it should **not** have been moved because it was a discussion that I think would be of interest to people who don’t care about sports. And, in fact, by excluding such people, you might be missing one important side in the debate. That was very much my thinking. Sure, I coulda posted it in IMHO or The Game Room. Or maybe in MPSIMS or the Pit. But I had hoped for the type of discussion I expected from GD. I also guess I coulda asked a mod before posting, or asked that it be moved back after. But I don’t see that last option as viable in light of WE’s initial response in this thread. > [@What\_Exit](#): > > Now serious question, do you ever accept moderator actions without complaining? I mean this is getting pretty petty and ridiculous. Especially with the misleading title. > … > BTW: This is 3 ATMB threads in the last 2 weeks. So what exacty did I “complain about” in the 2 threads I started prior to this one? Well, [the most recent one](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/carter-rip-thread-why-not-a-new-thread/1012320/3), asking about a retitled/merged thread started off with: > [@](#): > > No objection here - just curious. Ran a whopping 3 posts, including one poster who shared my curiosity, before an explanation was provided and the thread ended. [The one before that](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/should-duplicates-of-recent-threads-be-closed/1011764/9) asked about nearly identical threads being started less than a month after the prior one. I’m not sure how that was a complaint about mod action. Another poster noted that they had reported the duplicate thread for closure/merger/mod action. And I ended my OP with: > [@](#): > > Not HUGE issue. And I imagine I may have violated it on occasion. I have repeatedly acknowledged and deferred to mods’ actions. Infrequently (IMO), I have expressed my disagreement with their actions or forum rules, or have asked for explanations. But I have a hard time imagining what I have done - in this thread, in the 3 WE apparently looked up, or over the prior 2 decades to merit WE’s characterization in their initial response to me. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/can-sport-not-be-discussed-outside-of-the-game-room/1012401)._
