No...that means.."Clean up your own act before you attack others" 😛
I would say that doing both is probably the most coherent behaviour, actually.

OH Great !! We are allowed sports threads in the general forum now...I recall getting a "WARNING FOR THAT" , How times have changed!!!

You know the point I was making!
Mine moved within the hour if memory serves me correctly!

Originally posted by Very RustyThe mods have said many times that they usually don't delete or move threads if they aren't alerted. Your thread and the thread I alerted two days ago were moved because I sent an alert. This thread probably didn't get any alerts until today. Also, it's a bit unclear in this case where the thread belongs, as it very quickly turned into a discussion about China and human rights, which would fit better into Debates.

(And I alerted this thread less than an hour ago. So be patient! 😛)

Originally posted by NordlysThey certainly do move and delete posts and threads not alerted. What they say and what they do are not always the same things. I know you speak on their behalf, so I will take all that with a grain of salt, and where it comes from.

I see not a whole lot has changed here in the general forum, except things have gotten a little quiet, but it is summer in a lot of areas of the word I suppose.
It is very clear where the thread belongs, and was very clear from the start, if it had a Very Rusty at the head of it, it wouldn't have lasted 9 days, I bet we can agree on that point. 😛
Very nice chatting with you again. Always a pleasure !
Originally posted by Very RustySo if it's all about you and mod bias, how comes that Nietzsche's other thread was moved very shortly after I had alerted it, just like yours was?

Originally posted by NordlysLike I told you before, you should put in for mod, you pull as much weight as they do! I am surprised this one is still sitting here. 😉

You are charming as usual. 🙂
Originally posted by Very RustySo which one is it - "if it had a Very Rusty at the head of it, it wouldn't have lasted 9 days", or "if Nordlys had alerted it earlier (anyone else alerting it earlier wouldn't have had any effect), it wouldn't have lasted 9 days"? And what's your problem with moving threads where they belong anyway?
