Mods, move as you see fit

Doesn’t this go without saying?

Moving this thread off to MPSIMS…

(just kidding :D)

Seriously, though, I’ve always taken that as shorthand for, “Moderators, I’m not really sure about where to place this thread. Would you please take a look at it and move it for me if it belongs elsewhere?”

Perfectly reasonable, IMHO.

That’s certainly how I mean it. And a smidgen of, “I promise not to be one of those whiny people if you do move it, I get that I’m clueless here.”

Not that I expect you *not *to move something because I might whine, but it just seems polite, y’know? Like handing a credit card to the cashier with a, “this *should *go through…” and a small laugh and a smile. Yeah, it should, but it if doesn’t, I’ve let her know I won’t pitch a fit if it doesn’t. Totally my bad.

To me it’s a little bit of everything.

  • I’m not quite sure I put this right.
  • I’m not going to whine about it if you move it.
  • I’m cognizant enough of internet forums that I know threads are moved and how to find them if they are.
  • A mixed thanks and apology in advance for the effort it takes.

At any rate, that’s how I use the phrase, on other boards.

I think the reverse should also be stated where necessary.

As in “Mods, do not even think of moving this thread, if you do I will hunt you down like a dog.” Then the staff know where they stand.

Ghod-am I embarrassed.
I always thought it meant that I didn’t have to sit still while reading the thread.

Wombat, please change the title of this thread to “Mods: Move until you get fit.”

Feel better Czar?

No good. Now I’m picturing all the mods doing the Funky Chicken.

As usual.

Yeah, well that’s why you’re an ex-mod!:smiley:

Yes, it’s confirmed 'e’s an ex-mod!!

Wait. Does that mean if he re-ups, he’d be a zombie mod?

'Cause then I’d have to close him.

No, actually I believe it would be his responsibility to close himself.

Now that’s what I call “suicide by mod.”
