More expert advice ...

If that thread in Community was posted as a
...'SoCal Flyertalkers Fire Emergency sign in if you're OK,... my guess is it would have been allowed.

This would have been similiar to PremEx's thread post 9/11.

But since the thread in question was more along the lines of a report, the Moderator did the right thing in moving it.

BTW, this reads a lot better than some of the sarcastic remarks above.
