New Goal So a new modding goal this week/month/year. All those people who post "wrong forum" or things like it in misplaced threads need educating on why it's bad. Why is it bad? Well firstly it bumps the thread back up. If you left it alone it would probably die and not be a problem. Secondly, it destroys the thread. Yes, destroys. You see, if someone is setting up a RP and creates it in the SF because they got it wrong, and then if a bunch of people redundantly post WRONG FORUM it means when it does get moved the OP has a thread filled with WRONG FORUM when it's now in the right forum. It means it gets recreated and we end up with a thread that's a waste of space. Thirdly, you look like an idiot when it is moved to the right place, because suddenly you're in the wrong. It's not WRONG FORUM any more, it's in the right forum. So you hit the REPORT THREAD button and report it, and we move it. That's it. So people who reply wrong forum in threads I move will be getting a PM reminding them to not spam, because posting WRONG FORUM is spam.

I'm alive! Left severalmany years ago, sometimes I appear again like a bad smell.

I sometimes drift in and out of my tumblr.

	Can we report people that post "wrong forum" in an incorrectly placed thread?

	XD I hate it when that happens.. I think I kinda falter though, If I post in their thread even though it's in the wrong forum... can I get in trouble? because 'm not a.. uhh.. "Reg" of any specific forum so usually I'll put it in comment on their topic and feel all grrr as the umpteen comments of GTFO WRONG FORUM! flood in. Actually, someone had a "What do you hate about gaia" thread and that was one of my pet peeves... "the 20 people that need to feel superior by telling someone new that they're in the wrong forum thus bumping the thread and looking a bit silly when it's moved." [/repetitiveness]

	I absolutely love the people in the Q&A who post in misplaced threads and tell them they are breaking the rules/in the forum. They seem to have skipped over this section: Quote: Report bad threads Members will post threads that don't belong in this forum or threads that should be removed due to being inappropriate. DO NOT POST IN A THREAD SOLELY TO SAY THAT IT IS MISPLACED/VIOLATING THE RULES. Report it and let us explain why they should not have posted it in Q&A. Remember: posting in it will just move it to the top of the forum where it will continuing staying visible. Nice .gif Leo. xd
