Why does this thread:
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1735001
need to be moved from the board it is discussing to a backwater?
I realise that there is a need to keep boards on topic. Discussing the way a board is run is a part of the dynamics of any BB.
I would guess that as many threads are being shifted from this board each day than are left to remain. That should be discussed and the reason for this board to exist clarified.
The longer things go on the more I feel that this board is seen as populated by nutters and a complication that the site feels it could do without. Just closing the BB down could lead to bad publicity for the site/sponsor of the site. Better to have death by a thousand cuts?

All i personally want is consistency, i.e. off topic stuff not staying because a board guide is interested in the discussion (e.g. the infamous 'man sleeping rough' thread).0

This board has been destroyed imho. Looking at page one most of the threads have been moved. The few remaining threads have only a few posts attached to them. Posters have drifted away...
Mostly I post on the MFW board but I still pop in here to see "what's occurring" which is very little these days.0 -

I wonder if I'll get a response or just get the thread booted off to the place where threads go to die......
I might start trolling DFW instead.0 -

The moderators do not read every thread on every board, it's moved to site feedback where they will be seen.
