What qualifies a thread to be arbitrarily removed/moved/combined with another thread?

What qualifies a thread to be arbitrarily removed/moved/combined with another thread for no reason?

[SD2011]

Chronic whining...?

[Guest060214]

This should be moved to the sandbox.

...and combined with a threAD.

Combined with my threAD!!



I know Tywill can keep that topic bumped!!

's threAD can hitch a ride to the national forum again depending on how this turns out!!

I'm pretty sure the mods have probably covered that with you if you've resorted to this.

Moved to questions for staff. (Since it's not hobby related and doesn't belong in Co-ed.)

Answer:
- we don't (usually) remove posts. Exception: if the post violates the outing/drugs/minors rules, it may be removed outright, but it's rare.
- we might move your post to the correct forum, with or without a post explaining why. (The reasons are usaually obvious if you read the forum descriptions.)
- we don't merge posts, unless they are duplicate content

Your use of "arbitrarily" is odd...since it's the guidelines that usually apply to moves/edits, etc. not just some mod-whim.

Thank you for explaining. There was a small thread I started that was related specifically to my experience in Dallas that was moved to the National forum with no explanation from anyone and without telling me.

So I guess I won't get a satisfying answer. Thanks for your time.

Only exceptional, well written and thought out threads get that treatment. Congrats.

Arbitrary means threads get mod attention for no rhyme or reason. The owners went mod shopping at the at each regions finest psychiatric centers to find people crazy enough be on staff for free.

Your question can't really be answered because each moderator and admin have their own psychosis and what triggers arbitrary moderating is different for each staff member.

Just know that they all share one obsession in common and that is you, tywill. Something about you causes a fixation that leads them to wonder what they could do to fuck with you and what you wouldn't really care about.

Obviously they are being successful and I congratulate them to be able to focus on one thing as a team. Given their delusions and disorders, it is an amazing feat.

If you care not to be a part of their experiment any longer, you can have your accounted guested by writing to dallas@eccie.net.

Have a nice day.

Thanks, I was actually thinking something along those lines. Is that a real email address?

[Glenn Quagmire]

That actually it is the dallas staff email address.

You obviously have a sense of humor. You should not let this site make you so crazy. But if you must leave in order to re-gain some balance, I completely understand.

Tywill, long before you graced us with your presence, it seemed every newbie was starting a NBA thread. There were times when there were literally three threads at a time. Because of that, Dallas staff started a practice of moving these threads to the National Superthread for better info sharing. I don't believe there was ever any malice involved.

That said, I think your thread was intended to be different and not an NBA thread. In my opinion, you should have placed it in the Sandbox if it was not specifically hobby related. However, you did not. That means that in CoEd, it was considered to be in the context of the hobby. Thus making it a "Why is the hobby so racist in Dallas?" Which then, caused it to become another NBA thread and that is what triggered its merging to the Superthread.

I hope I explained that appropriately to you.
