The mod staff deleted an entire topic that I wrote a detailed comment in

i cant move wtf··1 votes·1,701 views

Jesus Christ. It was the "Nice Riot" topic. I spent a solid 15 minutes writing it and I log on the next day and the entire topic has been deleted. So my comment was just a casualty. And the topic was legitimate, but maybe in the wrong section. THEN CHANGE THE SECTION IT'S IN. DON'T DELETE THE ENTIRE TOPIC ALONG WITH EVERYONE'S COMMENTS.

I can't believe I have to explain this. You guys are straight incompetent.

I don't know if you were aware of this, but we lack the ability to move stuff between boards.

It never occurred to you to talk to the web devs to add this functionality. And not exercising any leniency until this functionality exists. Incompetent.

The developers have not added that functionality, nor do they have plans to. Do not assume that it has not been discussed.

Then the web dev is incompetent and they should be contacting their employer to inform them of this. They should not be enforcing some draconian rule because they don't have basic tools every forum on the internet has except this one. Incompetent.

Have you considered that it's the platform and not the developer? You say that like it's easy to implement.

Now you're just speculating. If someone who does know what platform is being used they can feel free to share that information and we can talk about it, but until then there's nothing to talk about. 99% of all forum frameworks have the ability to move topics to different boards. Assuming it's in the 1% category is irrational.

Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that if it were as simple as you seem to think it is, it would be part of the core features already?

No, because the mod staff clearly has no clue when they delete a topic that became active with 20+ comments before they "caught on" that it wasn't in the right category. And a moderator had commented in it lol. When you don't have some core feature on your platform wouldn't the reasonable response be to exercise some leniency while that feature isn't available? That's why I'm not assuming any reasonableness on their part.

What ever happened to the "Golden Rule - Don't be a jerk." I guess it doesn't apply to moderators. Calling someone names is toxic but deleting the time and effort of 10+ people because the OP made a mistake in the board they clicked in is just healthy, considerate human behavior. Right.

It's part of the Boards rules. Adhere to them or stop using them, it's not difficult. You're being rude and inconsiderate, would you prefer to be called trash or incompetent? Being upset does not give you the right to say whatever you want.

Obviously it's part of the rules, But following rules to the letter without any consideration for context can make you a bigger jerk than calling someone names, which violates their own "Golden Rule." Hypocrisy, and by extension incompetent.

There are features that we, as volunteers, can implement, and features that we cannot. This is not one that we have the ability to implement ourselves at this time, and, because we're a volunteer team, we cannot do more than make suggestions to those who would be able to do so.

Okay so while you don't have this feature be sure to enforce miscategorizations indiscriminately because that wouldn't frustrate anyone and is not jerk-like behavior at all. I'm sure all the people that spent their time discussing in that thread were happy you did that. You saved the boards. Good job dude.

Quite feankly if someone with your attitude was in the discussion I doubt it was very productive.

Then instead of instantly deletting it, can you please tell us before doing so, be sure that we moved it to the right section or changed what was wrong and then remove it ? It happened to me too for stupid reasons such as "not detailled thread" when it was, and had numerous answers below. Just imagine you fucking wrote an entire essay and someone comes and instantly deletes it with no means for you to take it back.

As much as this reads like sarcasm, I think you're right. Almost every encounter in this place communicates that it's a colossal waste of time. I think I'll leave the mental patients to scream helplessly among themselves.
