Is there a way to flag a thread for reconsideration, either way? For instance, methinks the "Buying a GoPro" thread isn't really all that political, and could safely be moved back here. And yet, I have to wonder about the "We have a clear winner" thread?

all the states........

Wayne.

Congrats on adding the new Politics and Religion forum!!! I have sort of lost interest in OD because of all of those types of threads, comments, etc.

Can we condense all the State listings? I fear newcomers will miss the Classified Section. Maybe create a section called,

"United States"

and roll all the states up under it? Seems like it would fit with the "Canada" and "International & Other " divisions well.


Thanks,

Thanks,

Good idea -- I've seen a lot lumped together in regions like northeast, mid Atlantic etc. so there is some stratification but not overwhelming

Moved which? Both of those threads still seem misplaced?

I still show the GoPro thread in the Politics forum, along with a "moved thread" version of the GoPro thread... Which takes you, to, wait for it... The Buying a GoPro thread in the politics forum.

Other threads and notifications are seemingly fine.

Good move. Hopefully it will resolve the exchanges that go something like this:

"My 240D is only getting 19mpg."

"Damn, you know that is [insert political figure]'s fault, doncha?"

Are you sure? Because I still see it there, but the "Straw Grabbing" political post is in Open Discussion.

I don't understand why it all has to be so serious. Sounds like work.

Someone probably should review the rules and split the rules for the split forums.

Wayne said he runs a script that moves certain titles to that new forum. I'll move that right now. I'm on vacation so I can't really look at it all of the time
