With regard to the God thread. It's like a yo-yo in and out of world / lounge. So I use it as an example.
I can understand why mods would move things for purely relevance. e.g. If I were to post, "What's your favourite Jim Reeves Song" in the Hardware section then they may feel that it should be in Software world.
However movement between the World News and Lounge sections is purely a subjective judgment, based on the Mod's own opinion.
So if a Mod decides that the last few posts were not worthy of serious discussion, then they move it to the Lounge. Conversely if they feel that the posts have become of sufficient worth they then move it back.
That really isn't moderation, that is judgementalism and frankly it borders on the arrogant to feel that your opinion of what is worthwhile is more valuable than anyone else's.
