What's up with the Moderators on this site???

Not bad, irked two nights in a row.

Last night a thread was blocked, after I complained it was unblocked and I received an apology.
However what irked me, was the Mod hadn't bothered to read the post, just assumed it was similar to another post from two weeks ago.

viewtopic.php?f=54&t=67759 my post.

viewtopic.php?f=54&t=67414 mistaken as this post.

The top post involved a fatal crash of a Extra 300 involved in a mid air at a German airshow over this past weekend.

The second, involved a Tiger Moth that crashed into the crowd killing a spectator at another German airshow two weeks earlier.

Great it was corrected.

So tonight, I posted this; viewtopic.php?f=95&t=67784

Which was promptly moved to Aerobatics and Airshows - a topic on the very bottom of the page - that I didn't even know existed until now?

However it wasn't aerobatics, and though it occurred at an Air Race - it was posted as a current event, it occurred over the weekend. It involves a Thunder Mustang that suffered a mechanical problem and made an emergency return to the airport.

Amazingly the entire accident is caught on tape, and high quality photos, the aircraft cart wheeled and was completely destroyed - but the pilot walked away from this violent crash.

Rather than hide behind anonymity - if your going to move a current event accident thread, to another topic where nobody's going to see it, first what is the point of posting on AvCanada, and second - it irks me that the mods don't at least have the courtesy of both telling me, explaining why - and most of all stating their name so you can contact them.

So whoever moved the post, please, explain why???

Thankyou

I had a similar experience several months ago. I created a thread on flight training, which specifically addressed a subject being taught in groundschool, only to have it moved to "Misc./Political Debate/Aviation Humour" and it promptly became buried under more recent posts. There was nothing in the "Flight Training" forum that said "Moved", and it was almost impossible to find; that seemed to be intentional, as though the mod wanted to end the discussion without outright locking it. That's just a feeling though.

One thing I like about pprune is when a post is moved a note is left at the original location with a note of the forum where it has been moved. IMO Avcanada should do the same thing.

I agree with you, and feel out of respect alone - after all, if I'm going to take the time, research my topic, links, photos, sources etc., before I post - the least they can do is (as pprune does) leave a 'Moved' note and link.
