Let's assume I want to post about United Airlines and do so in the Delta Forum. The DL mods don't want it there and move it to the UA. The thread will remain visible in DL and every new post -- whether made by somebody from the DL Board or the UA Board -- will be visible on both of them.
You are sounding overly concerned that your post "appears" in OMNI when it doesn't really. Just because there's a link from OMNI to a re-positioned thread on which you have posted doesn't somehow mean that you've broken your self-exile from OMNI. And as I said, the redirect pointer will not be refreshed with new replies to thread to which it points. That is, it will not come back to the top of the forum listing. It eventually just scrolls off the bottom and disappears.
