In the case where this happened and led to this particular situation, the poster brought up an administrative issue which, by my understanding, is not to be handled on threads, but rather through PM's to administrators/moderators. DocJohn moved the administrative issue to the community feedback forum because it was an administrative issue and not about the original post. Seemed like a reasonable way to handle it. He could have chosen just to delete that whole line of discussion and take it to PM, but he was allowing that line of questioning/discussion to still be heard, but on the forum designed to handle more administrative/technical issues.
