I'm glad you're asking questions, Robert. But some try to get people to quit, by
being a nuisance. And by moving questions, or by being nasty, abusive,
mocking...well, ANYTHING that works.
This is usually done within about 5 minutes of posting so keep tabs, move it back.
I always post 2 or 3 MORE on the same topic...knowing that THIS then is
A very good topic.

If you post stupid questions that are just too dumb, sometimes this triggers people to MOVE the question to some other category.
The people who move questions are at level 7.
I'm at a level 6. I sometimes wish I could move a question, but you have to be at level 7.
If there are too many dumb questions being posted by idiot little kids, then all the smart people leave. And it sort of disrupts what could otherwise be a great place to exchange ideas and opinions, etc.
If I check here, and see 7 or 8 dumb or idiotic questions in a row, then I figure I don't want to be here. And I leave and go do something else.
So I think the level 7 people who are moving the stupid questions are doing so in an attempt to IMPROVE the overall experience of being here. I think their intentions are good.

As I understand it, when you reach a certain level, you're given the power by Yahoo to move people's questions to different categories. I guess the idea is that you help Yahoo keep their forum organized appropriately. But some people abuse their power, particularly in R&S, to move questions they don't like into categories where people looking for discussions in R&S won't see them and therefore won't respond. It's a way of killing your discussion thread when they don't like what you have to say or ask.
It's possible there may be other things going on too--such as honest mistakes or some sort of technical issue.

I'm sure you know why, since you are level 7 and have the edit button under all questions just like me, to move them to other categories.

The likeliest answer is you post BAD Chrsitian intolerance towards others and REAL Chrsitians so ashamed of what you do transfer your posts to hide them away rather than report them!
