    I think you should have a link to the moved post for a certain length of time so that the posters will know that the topic has been moved and they will know where it has been moved to.

    I think after that the length of time you should then delete the link, to clean up the board.

    If you just move the threads with no link you're going to get new posts in the forum such as :

    w.t.f. Everytime I post here my posts disappear. What crappy software are you running?

    PS I know you are going to delete this post Jet, and rightly so, I just couldn't help saying it.

    I say either leave the link, so people can follow that, or move the thread and delete the link but pm the original poster so he/she dosn't think it's been deleted completely.

    Hope that makes sense!

    if its in the wrong section; just delete it! no moving just trash it. and ban the jerk who posted wrong! and everyone who replyed to it!

    ok. seriously move the thread and delete the link, and just as Curley said notify the one who started the thread where it went.
