Before you start a new thread - the purpose of sub forums

Instead of moving posts that are in the wrong place, why not do a trial of locking them, with a note saying 'This has been posted in the wrong section, please re-post in XYZ sub-forum'.

That way, repeat offenders may get the message that if they post in the wrong place, they're not going to get answers, as their post will be locked.

If someone posts in the wrong section, knowing if it's wrong it'll be moved, this is going to continue to happen.

Oh now thats an interesting idea.....

 

[maypole]

I think it is a great idea as well

 

[maypole]

or you could PM the regular offenders & tell them off?

That is a good idea too, although it might take more time, and the 'shame' factor of having a thread locked and members having to re-post might be more effective than a private message

I don't see why it's so hard though?????
Okay, some off-topic threads may not be off topic in the poster's mind but syn values and recipes and weigh in results.... surely it's not hard.

Great idea re locking them in though!

I try to inform the poster that they have posted in the wrong place when I reply to a thread too, perhaps with this and locking them in, Sandy might not be so busy moving stuff on this forum!

I have a company website and I know from experience that people don't like to read stuff - not saying they are lazy - just an observation that they just go for the easiest option - wondering if the quick turnover of the main forum is a lure! Perhaps folk will think their questions will be answered quicker if it is in the quick turnover section.

surely it's not hard.

Thats what I dont understand either.... its not difficult. The off topic threads arent even the ones that get moved most. Its Syns and recipes.
