I posted a thread about Jeff Epstein in GQ. It was moved by Mods to GD and then Pitted. Now, it’s gone. What’s the Straight Dope on this? ---

How many threads on Epstein did you start? [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=878433](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=878433) This one was apparently started in GD, was moved to mundane, and… There it stays, as is the forum for non pit thread about breaking news. You have another you started in GQ, moved to GD, and thence to the Pit? ---

You started one thread in GD about Epstein that wasn’t a debate. It was commentary about breaking news, which goes in MPSIMS. So I moved it to MPSIMS. Is there more to your question that you’d like addressed? ---

You really can’t complain about one or two thread moves. A thread that got moved to all the forums by giggly mods just because of the date, nod that’s a thread-trip! ---

Is there more to your question that you’d like addressed? Right. As far as I can see, that thread was never in GQ. It’s been moved once.

There definitely wasn’t a debate there, but did the OP think that this: > [@Jeffrey Epsteins arrest for child sex-trafficking.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/jeffrey-epsteins-arrest-for-child-sex-trafficking/836751/1): > > I see Bill Clinton was a ‘frequent-flyer’ with him to various locales.
