I, too, am frustrated by the moderators' movement of threads. I don't believe that this is what most of us had in mind when we were calling for moderators. We wanted some of the flame wars to be doused. A couple of goofballs got loose in FT and spoiled things for a lot of people, and those are theinstances where there was a public outcry for FT moderators.
On the other hand, I have on numerous occasions reminded posters to post in the "correct" forum. One of the great attributes of FT is the organization of the board and the archives. If you don't believe that, go take a look at one of the other FF boards,
www.frequentflier.com . While there often is interesting information posted there, it becomes useless in a matter of hours because there is absolutely no organization to the board. Everything is posted in one forum.
So, the movement of threads and the organization of the board are necessary evils. A more sophisticated board attracts more sophisticated users and better information, and ultimately benefits all of us.
But perhaps there is a middle ground, at least with respect to the Buzz topics, which seems to draw the most fire. Perhaps the definition of Miles Buzz could be tweaked so that it was more of "FlyerTalk Buzz", which is how I always thought of it anyway.
