I recently posted to the General Discussion forum. The post can now be found at
http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=8780.0The question I have now is, why is it that my post was moved to the forum without a post about how it was moved? A glance at the front page shows us the following topics:
MOVED: Newbie question: Filter in-game messages?
MOVED: Good Idea?
MOVED: Tremulous Public Teamspeak
MOVED: question about binds
MOVED: Custom skins for Tremulous?

Now, many of these topics are pre-pended with 'MOVED: ' to indicate that the topic was started in General Discussion, but moved by a moderator to another forum. That's fine, but what I want to know is why my topic was not moved in this fashion. Since I didn't see a MOVED marker for my topic, I reposted, thinking something might have been lost. The following discussion with Lava Croft ensued, which is now deleted:

One glance at the frontpage and you would have seen it was moved to the correct section, namely the Mods section.

One glance at the front page shows me the following topics that were created after mine:

The top one is this thread. Which one, of those, are you referring to?
EDIT: Unless you were referring to tremulous.net's front page - in which case the top news article isn't about my post either. Perhaps you meant the forum front page, http://tremulous.net/forum. But then, all I see there is a list of forums, not where my topic went.

Lava didn't respond to the last quote, or I would have added it in. My topic simply disappeared. Again. And still no 'MOVED: ' marker. My question now is what does it take to get a 'MOVED: ' marker? As is, it looks like I'm simply being censured for some reason - my topic got moved and I wasn't told where, I had to ask before I found out. Now, I could understand if my topic was moved because it hadn't had enough time in the General Discussion section for people to expect to find it there. That's fine - I'd just like to know if that's the policy. And if it is, what amount of time is required for it to get a 'MOVED: ' marker.
