Why was the thread asking why LadyLonghorn's thread was moved moved?

[Tinia2]

a moderator posted in a thread something that was rather clearly in violation of tos. several posters saw it and commented on it. speaking only for myself, i pm'ed the moderator and pointed out their posting. the moderator replied rather promptly and apologized for their error. they had simply forgotten. ok, we are all human, we all do that that sort of thing.
however, while they admitted they had made an error that was in violation of tos, they did not go back and fix it. nor did any of the moderators of that thread. true, the poster was a moderator. but they were posting as a general member. actions like that do make one wonder.

Supermods can close and/or move any thread in any forum; however, if it is a forum THAT ALREADY HAS A MODERATOR it is exceptionally rude to do so. The supermods only have superior technical abilities. Their "super" status does not mean they have been found to be people who make better decisions than the other mods, or that they know more about Greek life than the other mods. We (mods we) all have different interpretations of the TOS, as well as know what is and is not OK to have in a particular org's forum (to wit: NPHC recruitment vs NPC recruitment).

If a supermod ever does close or move threads in a modded forum, it's usually because the mod of that forum is offline for a period and has requested that people "look out" for goings on in the forum.

If PenguinTrax cleaned up some threads in the Recruitment forum, it is because she is a Recruitment mod, NOT because she is a supermod.

And irishpipes, I agree with your whole post. I think GC is a happy medium between yukky things like juicy campus and the sanitized version of Greek life on many national or chapter websites. If it wasn't, we wouldn't have as many people visiting here as we do.
