Moderator-related issues
Is there a mechanism for raising moderator-related issues?
Thank you.

I made a post to a forum that I believed (and still believe) is appropriate to my question.
A mod moved it without informing me and without giving me any notice. When I clicked the notice I got from the board telling me there had been a reply to my post, the message said "The thread doesn't exist" or something similar.
I PMd the person to inquire what had happened. S/he explained that the post had not been deleted but merely moved. S/he provided me with the appropriate link.
I wrote to the person and explained why I thought the other thread was better. The mod simply repeated her/his message verbatim.
I've now written several PMs to the person. In each case, s/he has merely copied and pasted her/his original message.
The issue is nothing special or secret, and I'm not at all "angry" with the mod; I simply don't understand her/his behavior.
I'll be happy to post screenshots of all the "correspondence".
Thank you for your help.

Re: Moderator-related issues
That, is most unusual, as "we" usually leave a "Shadow Topic" link to the moved post.A mod moved it without informing me and without giving me any notice.
When I clicked the notice I got from the board telling me there had been a reply to my post,
the message said "The thread doesn't exist" or something similar.
Perhaps s/he just overlooked that small check "box", which is very easy to do. (It's not checked by default.)
I'd suggest that you wait for a while. S/he may have been very busy at work or ?

The issue is anything but "urgent". If I wait a couple of days and still don't hear anything, will it be OK if I reposted my inquiry where I originally had it?

Ahhh, That would probably not go down well.
Leave it as is.
A link to the "moved" post would help.

Post the link to that moved post/thread here, so we don't have to go looking.

Re: Moderator-related issues
I see.
Well, it is in the correct forum, now.
If anyone can help sort the minor Theme problem out,
R_F_L_C, can.
&, I still reckon that s/he just missed checking that small Check Box.
As I mentioned, it's very easy to do. (I've done the same....occasionally.)
Hang 5?

As I've said, the buttons where it doesn't appear the way I want are "extra" ones put in place by other extensions. They're not really part of the theme, but rather have to do with the Fx UI. That's why I had my post in the "Support" section.
Actually, I was hoping that FrankLion or one of the other theme experts would see it. Where it is now, only the RedCat theme followers will (might) ever see it.
For sure, but since it's not directly an RC issue, I thought the dev's time could be better used for something else.LIMPET235 wrote:If anyone can help sort the minor Theme problem out, R_F_L_C, can.

Re: Moderator-related issues
It was a merge. Assuming it was a direct merge you don't have an opportunity to leave a shadow. Also, it was merged to Red_Fat_Lazy_Cat theme thread, the fellow who wrote the theme.
joeg, if you cannot find a post, simply on "View your Posts" on the menu box on the upper left.

No problem, but if you intervene in someone's post, and in this case you know you can't leave a "shadow", I'd say that the common rules of politeness require you to inform the person whose post you've moved.LoudNoise wrote:Assuming it was a direct merge you don't have an opportunity to leave a shadow.
As I've indicated, in this case, I don't feel RC is the cause, but rather the "victim". I intentionally didn't want to pester the dev.LoudNoise wrote:Also, it was merged to Red_Fat_Lazy_Cat theme thread, the fellow who wrote the theme.
Don't you mean "upper right"? In any case, even if I do this, given the fact that I wasn't informed to which thread - or even to which forum - the post had been moved, how was I supposed to find it?LoudNoise wrote:joeg, if you cannot find a post, simply on "View your Posts" on the menu box on the upper left.
And for the record, all I really want here is the answer to my question. I apologize for the back-and-forth. I'm not trying to be argumentative.

Re: Moderator-related issues
Hi,
I'm fairly sure that R_F_L_C can assist with the prob.
As for "View your posts", I'd say that, that particular post/thread would be sort of, at the top of the list.
Try it & see?
Yep. It is at the top RHS.
LN is wrong way up, possibly due to he's using Linux? Dunno.
&....You're not coming over as being anything like argumentative.
Just explaining your query very nicely.
