On very rare occasions we come across a thread that seems to be clearly misplaced. For example a (hypothetical) thread titled "Who likes Football?" in the "Computers & Technology" forum instead of the "Lifestyle" forum. In the early days of the FF we stated that we would not move such a thread without first seeking the approval of the thread starter.
However, since it is such a rare occurrence and members almost never object to moves, we're planning to change things around to make the system more efficient*. So from now on we're going to automatically move threads that appear to be misplaced, with the understanding that we will gladly move it back should the thread starter request that we do so.
Thoughts?
*More efficient in the sense that we won't have to PM the person and wait for a response before acting. It can sometimes be days before we hear back on a PM.
