(organizer) moving everyones threads [edited title]

[Paul and Haidee 11]

Ever since payxibka moved our "Types of income for I134" thread to the US Embassy and Consulate Discussion, we have not received any more responses. Is it possible to just leave the threads where they are? Does payxibka do anything else other than moving threads?

Have you tried posting in the regional section and asking your question? They seem to generally leave thos ones alone and people seem to answer them pretty well.

Other than that.. the I-134 is a embassy/consul requested form so it was moved to the correct place. Its just a shame that not many people post in that section or they are not as active at certain times of the day in that section.

I have seen a few times when moving a thread has been warranted but most of the time it's just rude and a way to show power. So many people stumble onto this site just wanting help and hoping for answers, so I wish some of the "payxibka" would just chill!

That's his job. The topic relates to consulate issues.

Types of income that are allowed has been covered at least 4,123,456 times in the past few months and using the search function in the consulate forum will yield you about 23 million answers in the next few minutes.

This thread should be moved to "Off Topic"

Actually, this thread best belongs in 'site discussion' since the topic discusses the operation side of VJ - moving posts.

The forums can be a bit confusing - K-1, K-3 (now defunct), CR-1, etc. all deal with aspects that involve activity at US Consulates as part of their process. Posts that relate to Consulate activities are supposed to be posted in the Consulate forums so threads posted in the K-1, K-3, CR-1 etc forums get moved to the Consulate forums even though they are still part of the process related to the visas. The Moderation Team has looked at this set up, recognizing that it isn't ideal, but we haven't really found an 'easier' solution yet to address these overlaps. It is certainly an added challenge that members posting in the K-1,K-3, CR-1, etc. forums are often our newer members who are not yet fully familiar with all of the other forums available and may miss a forum that does not appear, at least at first, to be of interest.

So, while Payxibka looks like he is moving posts unnecessarily, he actually isn't nor is he doing it as a means to 'abuse power' . He often frequents the K-1, et al forums, and so his name will appear often in these forums moving posts to the more appropriate locations. He is fulfilling his responsibilities as an Organizer and doing his best to ensure that the posts are posted in the correct forum. There are links left to the moved post in the original forum so if people are going to respond they can still read the post and respond where it has been moved. It is also good to remember that people often stop responding to posts when the correct information has been provided - 'more' does not always mean 'better'.

Now - I'm moving this thread to Site Discussion.

Haha, I was just thinking this weekend after seeing nearly a full page of "moved" threads by Payxibka " aaahh, now everything is all tidied up again!"

Poor Payxiba.

Wow payxibka actually wrote something. If I am a "clueless newbie", be kind and advise me that there are certain areas to put certain threads. I AM new to this and I don't know all the intricacies of this site. I appreciate you putting the correct topics in the correct place, but give some advice to new people instead of just moving stuff around. I'm done with this topic. Thanks for actually writing something.

payxibka has been giving advice for YEARS here and is one of the most valued members of the forum. Please don't denigrate people when you have no idea what you're talking about.

They will learn one day and I would like to say thanks for all you do. Keep up the good work.

And to the clueless ones, the main clue to look for is WHERE the post has moved to.
