Forum corruption?

In way off topic, there is a thread "What not to bikini wax", which leads to :
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... php?t=6972

I never created this thread... All it is, is a fragment of a page in Video Hardware help.

Hey,

The most likely thing that happened is that the thread became off topic and a moderator split the thread, moving the split topics into the Way Off Topic forum.

In the future could there be some sort of marker on this to A)Stop my confusion B) let people know I didn't create the thread, I would have never used that thread title, also my statement is totally out of the blue. Ehh, it just doesn't look right.

A better solution would have been to just delete the posts if they were getting too off track.

Hey,

I have told moderators to move posts that become off topic rather than delete them. I don't want them to be accused of random censorship.

"What not to bikini wax"

My post had nothing to do with waxing pubes or any shit that was later put into the thread

By moving it and placing it in a different place, it's not censoring it, just warping the facts which still sucks.

Maybe if there could be like some sort of like "Splitted" marker on it.

But oh well, this does not happen often, just I am irked since my name is on a thread I never created

Understandable on the censorship issues, but I guess it wouldn't be an issue if you had mods with a bit of common sense...if all your mods can do is split and move threads; why have them?
I actually mod an Anime Forum elsewhere and not only are there no complaints; I am actually at times praised on the way I mod and yes I have even deleted whole threads. But with good reason. I also agree with Klink as well.

Hey stormybaka,

The mods here make sure people obey the rules of the forum (the rules will be updated soon). Basically, they delete posts that have to do with porn, warez, crackz, and so on. If a thread becomes a new topic, they will split the topic to keep the original one on track. They also report to me people who have images too large for the forum, and so on, and so forth.

Phade.

Okay that sounds good.
