Moving threads in circles
 

There was a thread "Double Deck 767" in MilesBuzz that is moved to TravelBuzz. OK, fine. So I go here and find it, but it is closed, because it is moved to TravelBuzz. Am I the only who is confused here??

you are not the only one confused. I am new to this site. I registered and posted a question about seating on the Delta 767. I am sure that I posted it here in the general area...but I can not find it anywhere? am I just lost, or is there a reason that it is no longer in this forum?

finally found mine, it is now in the miles buzz area..darned if I know why. lol
it has nothing to do with miles.

And to make it more confusing: it shows up three times here (in TravelBuzz), all with the same reply, all closed...
Confusing and mysterious.

yes, your question on Delta seating should go in the Delta forum, not in a general travel forum.

As anyone who visits can see, there are many forums where questions can/should be placed.

I did see that you mentioned it was put in the miles forum, which IMO is incorrect, it should be put in the Delta forum.

edited to add: the topic "Double Deck 767" appears to me as it should be placed in the Western US travel section or better yet the Omni section as it really does not address travel.

My gripe is not in what forum it is. It's clearly market in MilesBuzz that it is moved to TravelBuzz. Now, why is the thread marked "moved to TravelBuzz" in TravelBuzz as well?

Moderator to the white paging phone, please.

I hope you don't mind if i chime in here. First of all, some members have posted some inaccurate information here. The facts are we actually have no way of moving a post 'as is' from TravelBuzz! to MlesBuzz!. We can only moce a thread 'as is' from Miles to Travel.

And I know the reason there are three versions of the thread that was moved from MilesBuzz! to TravelBuzz! - we were in server overload and unfortunately had submitted it more than once, not realizing the server drag. It will be corrected. While I understand it is very easy to point out the limitations of where threads go - I think there might be some member responsibility of where the post was first posted. At that time, a moderator could make a judgement call to have moved the seating thread to TravelBuzz! or to Delta. It's just a judgement call. The obvious lesson is: if you don't want a moderator to make a judgement call, try to identify which forum it belongs in the first place. For instance, if the seating post were to have been put in Delta OR TravelBuzz! in the first place, probably no discussion on the topic. As for choosing TravelBuzz! over Delta - a judgement call because if we were to read the forum description of Delta, it does state about SkyMiles.

Anyway, hope this helps understand perhaps what happened and more importantly the idea that it's probably not that cool to criticize a judgement call, afterall, these are just volunteers donating their time in hopes of making FT a better place for all in the long term. Granted, not perfect everytime, but at least in good efforts.

Sorry for the triple post and that will be taken care of.
