If A Topic Is Moved, We Leave A Link To It

I don't browse every section, and those links are pretty handy. I guess you can use the search function to find a post if it's been moved, but I think you'll see that in some cases, after moving a post, you'll get a lot less responses to it. If it needs to be done though, via con dios.

I used to alway leave a link to a moved topic, but now, I sort of play it by ear, based on the person that started the topic.

If it's a question by some one new, I'll usually leave a link. If it's some one with an attitude or just some general bitching, or clearly the poster didn't even give a damn about posting in the correct area, then I move it without a link. And if it's a member that should know better, I move it without a link.

I say just leave it the way we have been doing it. Cause if you move it and then delete the origanal, people will think that it got deleted and that one person did a crime in it or something. So... theres my 3 cents.

Note: Notice I said 3, that means you must obay me! For I am "Da B*tch"

Note: Another inside joke

I too think that it might be a good idea to leave the link there for a couple of hours and then delete it. Deleting right away may cause some problems. eg. questions as 'why did u delete my topic' etc...

If you've got a number of people replying to a thread before it's moved
do you PM them as well?

Just leave the link for a short while and then delete it.

I think the links need to stay. And PM the thread starter about wrong posting. If someone continues to post in the wrong area (like after second warning) start deleting the threads altogether.
