Hi!

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.

Exactly why getting the FUT right is very helpful to the goal of keeping things
well compartmentalized.

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.

That’s certainly not the intent, nor is it my perception.
However if you could provide a few cites where you feel that’s what actually
transpired, I am sure we will take a good look at them and see if we did
actually do that or if we need to be clearer in stating why something was moved,
or whether it’s just a misperception. I agree that resetting FUT arbitrarily or
capriciously is not a good thing.

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

Oh, and “disestablishmentarianism” isn’t? :-)
