Question

Why should my thread be moved???

Why should my thread be moved to the Photoshop Lounge forum? I'm not interested in that forum. I'm only interested in this forum:

Adobe Forums > Adobe general forums > Forum comments

While my original post was not a comment on the forums per se, it was just a polite gesture to introduce myself to members of this forum. I clearly stated at the outset:

"Just want to introduce myself. I'm kind of new to this forum. But i've heard so much about Adobe and the Adobe Forum Comments forum. I'm so looking forward to taking part in all the exciting discussions."

That was aimed at this forum in particular. Not at the Photoshop forums per se. I also received some welcome advice, to which i responded thanking the individuals.

What is wrong with that and my original post, that my thread is moved to another forum that has no bearing on this one?

Is this the work of a heavy-handed moderator that many seem to be complaining about?

Wouuld appreciate an answer from the Forum Host/Moderator.

    First, I am not a MOD, so take this as you will. The various "Lounges," are good places for non-technical theads, or technical threads, that are not in the realm of the main foum. A question on DVD duplicators is a good example of a post that belongs in the DVD Lounge, and not in the Encore forum.

    Rants are a good subject for moving to a Lounge. In the Premiere Elements sub-forum, a new sub-sub-forum has been created for "posts that do not require an answer." Obviously, rants that are not technical questions are great fodder for this location.

    Now, why an introductory post into this forum was moved to the Photoshop Lounge is beyond me. I would say that this is not the proper spot for it, but then there might be other fora, besides the Photoshop Lounge, where it would be more appropriate. Only the MOD, who moved that post can comment on the rationale of moving it to the location they did. Were it me, I'd probably have chosen some other Lounge. Still, I did not see the post, so maybe reference was made to Photoshop?

    Good luck,

    Hunt

    No reference to Photoshop... Here's the link to the thread in the PS Lounge:

    Jay,

    Thanks. I found it after I replied.

    I do not understand the move, but then I am not a MOD here.

    In one of the threads, to which you had replied - think it was the one where you deleted your comments, but could be wrong, I mentioned another forum, but it's geared towards digital image manipulation and video production. If those are not your interests, it'd not be of much use.

    And if you are talking about your "Hello!..." thread, I have just checked and it's still here:

    I don't see that thread either, Claudio.  It's probably yet another awesome JiveBug©, just like one I noticed missing before:

    Not sure how to make this image bigger in this Jive mess, but I have the proof...

    If you use the magic Jiveware popup for his username to get to the old thread (as I had to do), it turns out it is in the lounge:

    Adobe Forums > Adobe Photoshop > Photoshop Lounge > Discussions

    It's the pathetic Jive thread moving bug that our moderators enjoy activating.

    Obey the forum thought police.  Violators will be locked, deleted and banned.

    If you had searched this forum, you would have found at least these two reasons:

    What is right is determined by a consensus of hosts / moderators / experts / forum related employees.

    and

    Policy comes from Adobe, practice comes from consensus, execution  from  individual moderators.

    (emphasis on the extremely precise word "execution" added by me). Although I somehow seem to feel that the Adobe policy applied here is not entirely consistent with the views expressed in the ANNOUNCEMENT at the top of the page, but this may be due to my poor knowledge of the English language.
