This is really more of a curiosity and not a criticism…
Over the years whenever I have seen threads moved from one forum to another there is some sort of explanation from the mods, eg “This doesn’t have a definite answer so I’ll move it (from GQ) to GD”.
For the first time I can remember a thread was moved without comment, namely the “Dear Women video” moved from MPSIMS to GD. Frankly I don’t even recall seeing the little “moved” arrow.
So is this just something common that I have missed in the past?
Nope, that was me screwing up.
Usually I do. In this case, when I moved the thread, I also sent an email to the OP, who’d been complaining about being picked on, that I had done so; I also sent an email letting the GD mods know what I had done. (There’s no automatic notification on the mod loop of forum moves – nor a need for one, most moves are minor housekeeping.) I didn’t realize till about an hour later that I’d failed to post in the thread, which by that time had another slew of posts in it. I figured it would be more confusing to say something then (we can’t insert stuff out of chronological order, even as mods).
Apparently that would have been less confusing.
I apologize for creating that confusion.
Thanks for your quick and candid reply. Good to know my memory isn’t fading just yet!
