Hello!



   Especially since a majority of Lugnet posters don’t actually consider where their post is going, they just hit “reply” and then go.

That’s actually true, and that’s what I did now, too.


   I personally think we should be able to forcefully change where a post is - if a post is obviously about the color issue, and if the poster refuses to post in the appropriate forum (lugnet.color), it is then a larger problem for a greater number of people.

Funny that you picked this example. It’s in particular due to the colour change issue that I dislike the practice of forcefully resetted FUT. Whenever somebody only marginally mentions the colour change some oversensitiv admin changes FUT to .color. Just because he doesn’t like the discussion about it or may be bothered by the discussion (rather than by the fact itself). At least that’s the impression I got, of course I can’t read other people’s mind.


   compartmentalization

That’s too long a word for me to take it seriously :-)


Bye
Jojo
