[quote="Noahcs"]I know this is a two and a half year old topic, but does anyone else think this should be undone? I've noticed recently that a lot of members seem to post in the wrong forum or accidentally double post and nothing is done about it. They don't want to take the time to contact a moderator or Moka, and frankly I don't blame them. The staff have more important things to do than worry about a simple posting mistake. I don't see why something as trivial of changing forums is restricted to Staff members. Then again, I'm not part of the staff so I don't have the info, but if the member can choose in the first place where to post a topic, why couldn't that member move it? As for deleting, that's a little bit different, but since this policy is so old, maybe this debate could be resurrected? I apologize if I'm over my head here.[/quote]
I see people report these posts all the time. Even if the member themselves don't do it, someone else will. Just keep in mind, it is our job to do this. Don't think we're to busy to do what we're supposed to be doing.
Also, just like DGFone said, it can cause way to much harm for it to really be beneficial. Saw it quite often back then when some troll would create a topic, and someone would post in it, and then they'd delete their posts, and all of a sudden the person who replied looks like they're the culprit.
