Then Decorative Knots gets vandalized with "MOVED MOVED MOVED MOVED MOVED",
I was looking at those 'Moved' notices last night and wondering whether it would be better to get rid of them.
Normally, it's considered polite to leave behind a note when moving a topic
Although sometimes this might coincide w/movement from the page by virtue
of new posts occupying that space, I think you might have a compromise:
the MOVED indeed is an alert/reminder, but after a few days(?) no one should
need continued reminding, and the MOVED entry can be REmoved. Does
that work? (Only a quite occasional reader would then have the confusion
of looking in vain for a remembered but moved thread.)
If my goal of constituting the individual forums with old threads from Chit-Chat,
I'd say that there is no point at all to leave a MOVED note--how many folks are
looking back several pages at threads? --few to none, I'll surmise.
The benefit to such retroactive reclassification/moving is that the wealth
of past discussions will fall under appropriate headings and be more
likely to be found; Search isn't all so helpful at finding things, sometimes.
And someone might just want to browse and see what's there, but ONLY
for Practical topics (or only for Decorative ones).
OK, you guys are just looking for things to complain about now.
Hey, I came in late & rather neutrally on this, hardly complaining.
