Overzealous moderators shifting posts?
I've just had my "Cat saves boy cyclist from dangerous dog" moved from "On the road" to "Tea shop" section. This is the second time in recent days that I've had a post interfered with , I thought for a moment it had disappeared completely.

A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.

Re: Overzealous moderators shifting posts?
I once 'lost my rag' big-time over a moved post (not on this forum, I hasten to add). And flounced off. But there was a bit more to it than just having a post moved...
