I check in on the forum and almost all threads are moved somewhere else. Think you" all might need to slow down a bit. It becomes confusing.
OK, since we are now in the 'proper' forum, why can't the ECF policy leave a 'questionable'/'movable' topic on the GD forum for at least 24 hours?!?!
For our newer members, it's quite a navigational challenge to be 'properly' ECF positioned! Besides, when railroaded to a 'outter back 40 forum', how many n00bies are gonna be encouraged to post in a more visible/high traffic forum (GD); let alone garner vet responses and further n00b participation?
Folks need to post in the appropriate forums. General E-Smoking Discussion is not the catch all for everything.
Oh. Moved to Site Feedback and Help.
Is all the movement for making it easier for admin/mods??
Let's have a forum wide vote on that ?.

We don't move new members threads.
I like to take into consideration how many posts a member has before deciding to move a thread. If they have 40+ posts, they should have a fairly good idea how to navigate the forum.
There are also redirects that are still visible for a few days. The redirects are clickable and take the person to that thread no matter where it is placed.
No, not just for our convenience. Heck, leaving things wherever they are posted would be the most convenient for US since then we wouldn't have to do as much work, but in the grand scheme of things that just doesn't really serve the purpose of ECF at all.
In the long run it makes it easier for someone to browse to the subject that they are looking for information on when everything is in its proper place
....things drop to the back pages and people generally don't bother going back a page or three. Things tend to move quickly down the page.
I am still learning all the places on ECF. I'm actually learning more about other areas just by following the redirects and checking out those other sections.
