Who moves the threads from one forum to another?
I am slightly peeved off because I opened a new thread in the psychotherapy forum which was therapy related and without any explanation or communication it was swiftly moved to another forum the relationship forum.
I am quickly losing respect for this website as it is SUPPOSED to be about SUPPORT. People are vulnerable when they come on here looking for help and this is the second time I have had a thread/moved or closed down without it being explained to me when it was in the right forum and had no reason to be moved. There are other threads that have nothing to do with therapy. Maybe if I had of stuck the word therapy or t in there somewhere it wouldn't have been moved. This is Bull****

I think it's also worth noting that the Psychotherapy section has a specific community and you might post there wanting feedback from those people - otherwise they might not even see it.

Exactly TR,
I was posting in a forum where I post regularly and needed some feedback about a pattern that I repeat and have no idea why. It IS related to therapy but somebody (a moderator) decided it wasn't therapy related and moved it.
Now, I feel ashamed and have no support. It sucks

Maybe you could PM a moderator of the psychotherapy forum and tell them why you posted there, and ask if it could be moved back?

Thanks Echoes, I thought about that but I don't know who moved it, or why?
If I knew this I could ask them. I didn't even want it to turn into a big thing but I was a little upset that it got moved with no explanation.
I just needed some insight from the people who along with me are in therapy as it was therapy related.

[ECHOES]

Yes, it's happened to me and I was upset too, so I can understand how you feel about it.
You can send a PM to all of the psychotherapy forum moderators. They will tell you why, probably that they thought it fit the other forum better. My suggestion is to repost it and specifically indicate it's connection to therapy, such as asking if therapy has helped, or how to talk about it in therapy, etc.

I'm sorry that the move upset you monalisasmile.

Those of us on the Community Support Team are humans just like you and sometimes we may make a mistake. But, in our defense, the thread that was moved made no mention or discussion regarding therapy at all. It reads strictly about your broken relationship with your ex. So, how were we or anyone else to know that it was therapy related?

In the future, if you ever have an issue with something the team does, please know that it's perfectly alright for you to pm one of us (or more if need be) and talk to us about the issue. I promise we don't bite and we are here to help, not to hurt or make anyone angry.

And to answer the question -- the community support team's job is to help keep the forums tidy, which means keeping topics in their designated forums. If they find a topic or thread in a forum that doesn't seem to fit what the forum is focused on, it will often be moved to a more appropriate forum. This is just the nature of having a community with over a 100 forums.

We don't really want members posting whatever they feel like in whatever forum they feel like, because that kind of defeats the purpose of having separate forums for separate topics. Might just as well have one big forum and call it a day...

Please don't switch to just one big forum. I know you weren't serious, but still .... just don't.
