What now classes as a thread fit for 'General'?

For some reason the mods now feel the need to move threats to a more suitable location, and half of my page is consumed by threads that have been moved. I wonder why some threads are moved but others are not, yet they may be of a similar nature? If this continues to happen, what will be left of general? the forum will simply split up to the different areas

What belongs in general is what belongs in general, if ya get what I mean :rolleyes:

All joking aside, I have no clue anymore...

They should feel the need to do so because that's what the subforums are there for. When people don't place their threads correctly, it is the mods' job to move them. I agree that their shouldn't be inconsistencies when doing this, but they are still understaffed. Hopefully things will get better once they add more mods.

One problem is that some people don't know whether their thread belongs in general or not since there is no description for the types of threads allowed in it. I think it would be a good idea to sticky the rules for posting in general. Like HJ says, his page is half full of 'moved' posts which makes for a very messy sub-forum indeed.

I agree, something like that could help.

It's not necessary. Just look at the sub forums and their descriptions. If your topic doesn't seem to fit any of them, then it belongs in General.
It would be a whole lot messier if we left them where they are.
