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

[jetje]

I'm a bit fast asking this (the team hasn't spoken about it yet) but if i see some pages nowadays some have more links and closed topics, as normal topics. Think we need to think about that.
Please no spamming this just real opinions. B)

I think move it and delete the old topic. Maybe there should be a message that it's moved from A to B ?(in the new location that is...)

I think you should leave a link...alot easier for people to find it.

that's the read arrow we leave now, a sign the topic is moved... But we have lot's of em nowadays...

How about

Leave the link for an hour.

Then remove the link.

This could be automated.

I say remove the link, whats the point in leaving it up?
You just get the same topic in two places.

I think move and delete is good, that way the moved arrow placeholders won't interfere with actual threads in a given forum

I like the links to stay, because if it's moved between your first and second visit there's a possibility you can't find it anymore.

But then again, if it was off-topic it should be easy to figure out to where it was moved.

Move and delete... i was just thinking about suggestin it.

i find nothing more annoying than going to a page, and seeing a whole column of moved items. if you're gonna leave a link, then you may as well just leave the post there. this way people might start to try to post in the right place.

also, if someone really wants to find a topic they found before, they can either

1. search

2. do the track this topic thing.

I mean, in the moved thread a post that's it's been moved from section A to section B..
