In [this sticky](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=301153), **Gaudere** has stated that some threads were moved, and we know which ones. The message is a little cryptic for me - I don’t which ones, or why. Could I get a little more information, please?

(I wasn’t sure if this was a Pit or an ATMB thread - please feel free to move as needed.)

There was a banning and some other events that generated considerable controversy. I suspect we’ll hear more about it later.

There was a considerable to-do over the weekend. All related threads have been closed and moved, and we’re asking for another day or so of silence until the READER powers can figure out what best to do. Lawyers and police agencies are involved, so we really don’t want anyone saying or doing anything.

Please, no speculation, no attempts to circumvent. We will post clarification as soon as we can.
