Why was my thread moved to "Off-Topic"?

[AverageGlabella]

I just can't imagine that this has gone under the moderators radar. Do threads only get handled if they are reported? Their thread has been operating since the beginning of March, with thousands of views and over 100 replies.

Plus, I swear I did report it a few weeks ago and nothing was done about it; I might be wrong, but I assumed it would've been moved with the rest of the similar threads.

I had to re-open this, because now I am confused about the rules of the marketplace, yet again. I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers, I just want to understand what is going on.

I have just reported the thread, and I'll let some time pass. Will probably end up locking thread again. Seems like opening a new thread would've removed a lot of valid context, though.

If you haven't noticed the moderators have been overwhelmed for a very long time and we are very quickly losing grasp of the forum. Most boards just are not even worth posting in anymore.

We could say the same about the report to moderator link though couldn't we? Why can't moderators just find all of the posts that users post agaisnt the rules instead of asking users to report posts - it's difficult to go through an entire forum of data and find posts worthy of merit when you get a small amount of posts that are worthy of merit.

You do realize that your sentence contradicts itself right? I'm not sure what you mean by the report to moderator link but there is a reason why the moderators can't find all the posts and deal with them. You literally said it in your next sentence.

it's difficult to go through an entire forum of data and find posts worthy of merit when you get a small amount of posts that are worthy of merit.

Just like you lack time to go through all the trash and merit posts the moderators lack the time to go through everything and remove it.

I will re-open this topic (or a new one) if there is no action taken against or explanation validating Gleb's thread to belonging in the marketplace. I got a response from a staff member, gave me a course of action, so I will see how it plays out.

Thousands of views from shitposters looking fort merit is irrelevant. Do you think staff sit in their sub boards refreshing the page every minute looking for something to do? If you spot it then report it. We can't be everywhere and spot everything at all times. If somebody reports something then you bring it directly to our attention and we can handle it. If we don't then maybe you'd have something to complain about, but if it's not reported then you can't complain. If it's not reported then you'll have to hope a mod spots and acts on it, but again, most mods aren't going to be looking for something to do.

Which is exactly why I have reported the thread (again), after waiting multiple weeks for something to be done (since originally reporting the thread, and saying nothing) and locked the thread. Then I just opened this thread to ask if there was some reason that it has remained active in the marketplace, in case I was overlooking something. I sense animosity, which is confusing to me. Yes, the shitposter views are irrelevant, but the chances that a moderator hasn't seen it are near impossible.

Tell me you haven't seen the thread, please. Especially with all the scrutiny of Gleb, Bruno et al lately.

Other staff members have replied to the thread. Many prestigious members have merited within it, and replied themselves; this is not a thread that was discretely running under the radar with spammers.

It's been moved, so I wasn't overlooking anything, problem solved, question answered, thread locked.
