Request to Moderators... (1 Viewer)

[Markuson]

Generally, we have great discussions, and moderation is typically light here. We have knowledgeable mods who are regular contributors that I enjoy and learn from.

But I have a question:/request:
Rather than simply ZAPPING threads such as BOTH threads that discussed an article that claimed the current Land Cruise's supposed obsolescence...sending them BOTH to "Chit-Chat" where nearly none of us go, and we don't know people there...and most of them don't drive 200 series Cruisers...-Could you please explain the HARM in leaving such 200 Series-specific discussions in this 200 series forum?

In the last two days, a moderator has zapped them both...without explanation or rationale, despite clear interest and commentary. Well known members posted likes and other commentary.

Can we at least wait for serious complaints and offer some sort of reasoning before just dumping interesting, 200-related threads ?

** I can tell you that AS SOON as it got dumped there? -The quality of discussion went DOWN.

No harm was being done.
Please explain why that level of thread-booting is necessary.

Thanks.

I was out wheeling today and didnt see the thread. Bear in mine this is woody's forum and he sets the rules. We are a lot looser in this section than the 80's area which I also moderate. The main rule for all tech is no chat and chat automatically gets bumped to that forum. As I said we all give this section here more latitude. I can't tell you why woody or one of the super mods may have moved it, but that is the rukles

It's an article with opinions specifically about the 200 series.

Surely this is its most relevant placement.

I agree with Markuson. I was enjoying the discussion on both threads before they were moved. I almost never go to any other section. The Classifieds maybe every few months. That's it. I never go to Chit Chat.

And...as happens when things get randomly dumped there...It turned into a useless thread...because after all...random chat dwellers aren't there to read/scrutinize articles about the 200 series.

There was no tech and the article itself is click-bait.

Sorry. It gets moved.

Nope.
