Why are discussions getting moved?

luckya23

Trying to drum up business for slower boards??

Weirdness.

Sugargirl1019

At first I was pissed. And then I was like ugh whatever. But really, why. Yes those discussions can fit in that tight niche board, but I enjoyed reading it over here too. I got over it as I realized the link stays there so I can still click in it to see new comments.

WinstonsGirl

I get moving the specific location ones (any good venues in _________ city??  We're just going to send them to the local board anyway.  But general ones can stay here too.  We get everything on this board.  But really, I don't care that much.  Just don't move the good drama filled ones.  I don't want to have to hunt them down.    

luckya23

Yeah really!  Clearly nobody goes to "Moms and Maids" (I didnt know it existed either) based on the ancient discussions on page 1!

I moved them because they seemed more directly wedding-related than Chit Chat, which is about a ton of non-wedding topics.

But we enjoy talking about weddings here still. Just because a lot of us have gotten married doesn't mean you should take it away without asking first.

luckya23

Who knew there was somewhere we couldn't talk about our weddings on THE KNOT! ;-)

It's part of our job to move threads to the appropriate boards. There's still a redirect link if you want to reply to a certain thread.

ETA: And FTR - I love Moms and Maids. Some serious SS action happens there on occasion.

hellosweetie1015

I really don't understand that. There have been plenty of wedding-related discussions in this board. There are six other posts that are wedding related on the front page of CC already, not to mention three related to rings. They haven't been moved. If you're going to go all tyrannical on a board, do it equally:

- Move the ring threads and the "how did you meet" thread to Just Engaged. 

- Move every AW thread ever to Photos and Video. 

- Move the "Will I regret it" thread to Customs.

- Move the earring thread to Attire

- Move  the OTHER "and Guest" related thread to E. 

- Move the Southern brides thread to Customs or Photo.

Or just quit moving them around unless they need to go to a local board.

So why wasn't the thread titled "Bridesmaid" from five days ago moved to M&Ms? Or the gap thread from Saturday, or the Registry thread from yesterday?

I'm not being snarky or sarcastic. I really, honestly don't understand why they've been moved when just yesterday they weren't being moved. Is it suddenly new policy that only certain types of posts can go on certain boards? Because if not, then I don't think you need to move them. We, as posters, chose to post where we did for a reason, particularly since at least one of the posters whose thread got moved is a regular and probably knows that her thread could have gone to E.

Yes I did, I swear I'm done this time. With the arrival of a new lulu on this board, I decided to change mine. Plus lulu for me was a dumb nickname my sister gave me, so I wasn't crazy about keeping it.

It's just a thread move with a redirect link left on the page. It is not that serious.

*god dammit if even I can't HTML myself out of this text formatting, shit is wrong as hell.

Real question: When I get my E-pics back this week, can I not post them on this board? Because this is the board I'm on 98% of the time, so you ladies are the only ones I care to show them to. I feel like if I put them on the Photos and Video board, no one will see them and that'll defeat the purpose of my AW, thus hurting my ego and self-esteem.

I'm more annoyed by the Community Photo of the Day reverting back to Community Photo of the However Long It Takes Us To Stop Being Lazy again than by threads being moved. That is supposed to be done by people being employed by XO Group. As long as the mods the community clamored so hard to get aren't doing things like deleting people's posts/threads, kowtowing to snowflakes, etc. then I don't care if they move threads to different boards.

I think that moving threads where the subject matter fits one of the subject boards better helps if people are searching for threads, too, since then you won't have to search every single board to see if a question has been posted before.

theartistformerlyknownas

You know it's a slow day on TK when this is all we have to argue about.

lovesclimbing

I'm Team Moving Threads as well.

The whole point of having all these different boards is so things will be organized. If people can just throw their stuff wherever, why not just delete all the other boards and just have three or four? Boards, with a site this big, can get incredibly crowded, clogged, and threads can get lost in the shuffle and bumped down to the second page before anyone has a chance to see it. 

Also, the reason all those other boards are slow is because no one is posting in them and is instead posting their off-topic stuff in other boards!  If people posted their stuff where it actually belonged, those boards wouldn't be so slow.

I come to Chit Chat looking for off-topic discussions of whatever. If I want to look at ring pics, I'll go to the appropriate board. If I want to talk about xyz customs, I'll go to that board. If I want to look at people's wedding pics, I will go to that board.

ETA: I am very glad we have mods now doing the moving.  I have been on these boards for two years (granted, not that long compared to some of the regs), and I feel that posting threads in the wrong board has been getting worse in the past few months.

I mean, I don't post anywhere else. At all. I've gotten to know you ladies, and I'm comfortable here. I'm not comfortable on E - I don't post there often at all, and have about fifteen or twenty drafts in various threads where I wanted to get in on the discussion but didn't because I felt like an outsider who didn't belong because I didn't know any of that shit before I came on TK. I don't fit in on any of the more specific boards like A&A or Customs, and really I'd rather talk to you ladies. If a thread I'm interested in moves to a board I'm uncomfortable on, then I'm not going to participate because I'm way too far out of my element. It took me almost two months to work up the nerve to post. (I just went back and checked, so I knew I wasn't making it out to be worse than it is.)

*****Stupid fucking boxes*****

If you never post on other boards, then you'll never get comfortable posting on other boards. Sometimes, you just have to be a grown-up and put yourself out there to see what will happen. What's the worst that would happen - no one responds to your post? Boo. Hoo. It's not like someone's going to go over to your house and stone you for posting somewhere outside of Chit Chat.

And a lot of CC ladies post on the Etiquette, Wedding Party, Reception, and Snarky Brides boards so you would definitely see familiar names.

theartistformerlyknownas

Not quoting because I fear the quote boxes... but @hellosweetie1015 you know it's not all different people on those other boards, right? I regularly comment and read here, Attire, Etiquette, Invites, DIY, Registering, occasionally 911 and Wedding Parties if I see something particularly shit-showy going down. NEY and Withdrawal are the only ones that really seem to have their own culture as opposed to the other WR boards.

******************

There are a very, very small number of posters who don't post on every board. It's not like the TK of yesteryear, which was heavily divided -- each board had its own regs that posted pretty much exclusively on that board. Now everyone pretty much just posts all over the place. So your argument that you're not comfortable posting on other boards is kinda pointless, because it's almost entirely the same group of posters. 

But also, I really don't think the rules of moderating should be adjusted just because you want everything posted on CC.

And it's fine that you only post here. If that's your comfort level, then you certainly have that choice. 

But any community can't be molded around the habits of specific users. It's not reasonable to have an international community that doesn't move threads to more appropriate boards. There has to be some order. Otherwise, we'd just have one big, fat TK board where everything got posted. Woof.

Everyone is encouraged to post wherever they want and wherever they feel comfortable. I hope you continue to branch out and feel comfortable posting wherever you want. I post all over the place. As @lolo883 said, lots of the ladies here post all over.

If you want to post photos to review your vendor or get opinions on them bc you aren't happy then the P&V boards is appropriate. 

If you want to AW and say I got married then that is chit chat.

I move threads all the time on the P&V. I don't see anything wrong with putting then on the appropriate page. It's not like the mods are deleting them. Just putting them where the people who frequent those boards, and are often more versed on those topics, can see them and give advice.

It pains me to see a post that says "I didn't post this on XYZ board bc it looks dead" - if we keep that up we might as well get rid of everything but E & CC. But it that happens I'm outta that hot mess.

Box Fix.

The last time I posted on E, I had my throat jumped down, essentially because of the fact that I'm waaaaaaaaaay more outgoing on the internet than I am in real life, and something that was technically "etiquette approved" would make me choose to leave a party.

Lolo and esstee (and whoever else mentioned it) I do know y'all post elsewhere. But CC is a safe board for me, I feel like. It's almost always the same people, they're always friendly, nobody makes me feel like a dumb country shit. This is the ONLY board on this forum that I feel like that. 

Also - I'm not saying by any means move everything here. I'd go away if that started happening, because that would bring ALL the strangers into my safe place and then I'd be so very not okay. I'm also not saying that you should change the mods' duties to fit my specific needs, or those of any other poster. What I am saying that it shouldn't be "Oh, there's a bunch of threads on here that are wedding related, but CC's not really supposed to be wedding related, and oh, then, let's move JUST THESE TWO because they put us over the new random limit of WR threads for this board." Because then I'm going to be afraid that the next time I post something WR (if I ever do again, haha... still no date), it's going to get moved arbitrarily. And I *don't* post here because it gets more activity, I post here because I *like* you people and you give good advice and have yet to jump down my throat when I do something stupid.
