So like I created a thread under General Discussion:
https://www.namepros.com/threads/if-canada-becomes-51st-state-what-becomes-of-dot-ca.1343425/

and within a day it got moved. I inquired about this moving thing a while back:
https://www.namepros.com/threads/is...s-mod-moving-deleting-stuff-just-b-c.1325931/

and there was some thoughtful feedback from the mods and users, much appreciated.

Just wondering the actual decisions based on moving threads. Can you guys be transparent? For context, why my thread moved into ccTLDs because it has "dot-ca" but these threads:

https://www.namepros.com/threads/ai-aftermarket-is-dead.1344833/
https://www.namepros.com/threads/deepseek-domain-names-showcase-and-discussion.1344872/
https://www.namepros.com/threads/sell-names-with-ai.1344746/
https://www.namepros.com/threads/major-ai-project-in-development.1344326/
https://www.namepros.com/threads/gemini.1339321/
https://www.namepros.com/threads/viability-of-a-life-domain.1335878/

are ok in General Discussion? And that's just the first page and a half. Like is this a reporting thing or personal mod preference or what?? You mentioned in the example I gave that 99% is reporting. Well I'm not going to report the example threads I gave because reporting is often a dick move and resolution should only be enacted when in clear violation. Instead of a hammer reaction you guys should be proactive in DENYING a weak report.

To be clear, again, I am NOT complaining about those other threads they are cool where they are. But why was mine not? We clearly have other ccTLD discussion threads, new gTLD discussion threads, and even product-based on ccTLD doing just fine where they were placed yet mine is like so quickly moved.

Send me a PM if you aren't interested in me contributing anymore. I've been here long enough that I know where where threads should be placed if I thought my thread should have been under ccTLDs I would have done so.

Being said, I do applaud proper organization and categorizing it makes the forum clean.

Lots love,

- Hots

Hello,

Let me see if I can help clarify a bit on that.

1. You are correct. your previous thread was moved to ccTLD discussion because it was about the .ca ccTLD.

Note: Your thread was brought to moderators' attention after being reported. Whenever a report is received, it is investigated, and further actions are taken (When applicable). In this case, the action was moving your thread to the best fitting category section and notifying you of that move. - For internal use ONLY: https://www.namepros.com/reports/132947/

2. It does not appear that the threads in your list were reported. Moderators generally don't monitor category sections and depend on members reporting rule violations of misplaced thread topics that would fit better in a different category section, so they are easier to find for people looking for that type of content/topic.

Note: All the threads in your list have now been moved to their respective matching topic/category section(s) so that people looking for those topics can find them easier, in a centralized location. Thanks for reporting and letting us know.

In conclusion: It really just came down to your thread being reported and brought to moderators' attention. Moderators have daily tasks they handle throughout each day and don't go looking at every section for rule violations or mix-matched topics. However, when one is brought to a moderator's attention, we are tasked with taking the appropriate actions to enforce the rules or help keep the category sections on topic and relevant so all members can find what they are looking for easier.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Whenever threads are brought to our attention (even if they're brought to our attention with the message "you don't need to do anything to them"), we will still perform our standard operating procedures on them, such as seeing if we can organize them better to improve their discoverability.

That said, after your previous thread on this, moderators were told to not move threads from VIP members unless the thread absolutely needs to be moved (e.g., promotion). It seems one of our teams forgot about this.

We apologize. This post should serve as a reminder to them, but please do let us know if it happens again.

Alrite fine. Apology accepted and also same here extended for really tying up needless moderation it just irked me. No biggie. Organization with a million+ members can be easily blanketed. Appreciate the feedback.

He's hot. I don't enjoy fighting really but need to bring up stuff sometimes. I think the reporting mechanism should be revisited and outcomes fluid.

The category structure as it was once set up can certainly be improved, but that is not done easily. With the aggregated "The Pulse" categories, a lot is packed together again anyway...

Overall moving that post is limiting the 'topic'
