Uhm, while I hate to do this, I am going to move this to the proper subforum.

As to your comments, We the moderators and administrators of this site have lives away from Camaro5. The moderators offer their time to help keep the site orderly and easier to navigate. With nigh on 100,000 members, think about this possibility...

I start a thread, post it and go look at something else in a sub-forum for a minute... I come right back to the first page and it's gone.... and by the time I get to the second page it's at the bottom. or headed to page three...

If every thread was left in this forum until it went dead, or even for a few days, threads would disappear off the first page within moments. The majority of improperly posted threads are from newer members but this is by no means universal.... There are people with thousands of posts, and yet they still post in the wrong forums. Some of them have numerous warnings and even some infractions for this same activity...

I move obvious threads when I have time. Occasionally I just want to come read without doing any official actions. Other times I'll come on here strictly to check and properly locate threads.

There isn't any set time frame of pattern for moving threads either. Something I may feel is appropriate other mods may want to relocate it...

It works well for the most part. Some threads just don't have a particular place and cross the realm of several forums. At that point its a personal choice or maybe a case of looking at a thread with a different perspective.

You mentioned you were a Moderator on a forum, and I have to ask if it had the number of members or volume of traffic this forum has.

I'm tired from lots of travel the last two days and offshore working but I hope something in my ramblings helped..
