Why would anyone move a post ..

[meauxna 15]

For my thinking: I am sort of purposefully only dipping a toe into the next steps here - I know a good overview, but the particulars I'll have questions abotu and learn more about as we move into the next phase. So I'm all I-129F all the time. Once we get outta USCIS, I'll start learning about the next agency/department more. Educated baby steps to sanity, kids. So when too much stuff gets moved, I tend to lose track of it, even when it crosses-over to this topic area.

Certainly each to their own way of doing things, but how can you be all I-129f all the time? It's been mailed, it's sitting in a bin, on a shelf, waiting for its 15 minutes of fame--what is there to know/do about it? Move on, IMO, to moving issues, knowing how to get the SS#, DL, the minutia of life. Have everything ready for the interview.. shoot ad naseum

You expressed yesterday that you were losing track of things.. I still don't see how, when clicking on the thread title take you *to the thread* just like it *ever did*. Youi don't have to care about wehre it was moved to *ever* if you choose not to.

btw, the irony of having this thread posted here instead of in Site Feedback where it will at least get the attention of the person who can do something about it, does not escape me.

CountryBoy and others: mu suggestion is to offer a SOLUTION other than 'the way it was. If a change is inevitable (it is) and you don't like the direction it is going, come up with an alternative that will address *your* wants AND The Changers' need list. The site is getting too strung out, something needs to be done about it, and simply saying 'I don't like it' will not get you what you want. There is major merit in r-jo's suggestion.. You will learn more about your OWN visa application process by reading the experiences of others outside your geographic area.

If people need better help keeping track of their buddies, and who has had victory etc, then we need to learn how to use the tools of the site better--software is here to help us. There are buddy lists and subscriptions and all sorts of gizmos on this site to help us keep track of conversations. Having a thread cross posted over four forums serves no one well either, and contributes to the problem of too many threads. Moving threads and leaving the redirection does the same thing.

FTR, I think the K-1 forum seems to have the most moved because it does have the most misplaced posts. It's also the area you are most sensitive to right now.

meauxna,

Indeed. It's all I can do to keep my finger off the button!

I got a chuckle out of that too-[the irony] doubly so because so many " movers" have posted on it and none have moved it yet!!!!!

The K-1 application actually not the stage I am at. [if you were refering to my comment] I tend to be in Regional, AOS and O/T, Polls and such.

It is noticeable that that particular forum does get more moved threads[ and I understand there are indeed more misplaced threads there], but why are none of the other forums being " organized too? That was my point, and suggestion to get some guidelines together in place to provide a set "criteria" for movement of threads.

tmma,

Captain Ewok has posted his intention to work on such guidelines. In the Site Feedback section.

I encourage everyone to visit the Site Discussion forum and give their input - it is up to everyone to give their support /opinions - don't be shy, your opinion counts too.

Main Site Suggestion Forum Page

Forum Full Of Moved Threads

AOS Secondary Forum

New K1 Sub Forums

(And I see someone couldn't resist moving this thread )

[Mags 112]

Perhaps if the Organizers were each allocated a certain area each to keep an eye on it might make the movement of threads a bit more universal. Plus then there wouldn't be contradictory viewpoints of what would need to moved and what should stay.

For example: 2 Organizers for the K-1, 2 for the K-3 and so on. If there are more forums than organizers then some people can have two or three to keep an eye on. If you also had two people to a forum it covers all your bases if someone is away etc.

I forwarded that suggestion to Ewok earlier--it's the only way, IMO, to keep the moving under control.

tmma: the other forums have been organized the same as K-1; again, I'd suggest that there were simply more posts in K-1 that 'needed' organizing.

It comes down to classifying what belongs in each area. Since the guidelines covering that are being drawn up now, now is the time to give your input. This will probably be most successful if you give concrete criteria AND a justification for including it. Something more than 'just 'cuz' and something that takes into account the complaints/requests of the School of Thought opposite to yours.

Oh good, I think it would really help things.

for chissakes, and then this post gets moved. i give up.

and meauxna, perhaps i'll watch the hyperbole from now on - of COURSE i've gone ahead in the process. just not into the other forums here to become an active participant.

i no longer care about this issue. it really doesn't, as you point out, effect totally how we keep up on threads. i just find it annoying, and even more so now that i know ANYONE can move stuff. (i have less of a problem with you, yodrak, fwaguy, or a moderator doing so).

[Fandango 1,439]

WADR (I've been saying that a lot lately) VJ seems to be turning communist! I don't say that to insult, but it's actually a great description of what's going on here lately.

"the good of all supercedes the happiness of many'

Gupt posted a spoon fed pic that seems so appropriate these days. Everything is done 'for more ease of information' when any old timer can tell you that he/she managed just fine beforehand. This all seems so pointless and silly.

Once again, not just anyone can move stuff.

Daisy, what do you mean? Anyone can't.

I'm lost.

was just going to point that out

certain people are designated has movers/organizers.....

[TimsDaisy 0]

Okay, then I withdraw the previous comments. But someone the K1 forum the other day said he/she moved stuff, didn't recognize them as a mover, and now I can't tell who can move and who can't, except that whomever can has been doing so A LOT lately it seems. Could be that people are just posting in the wrong place more lately. Chicken and egg?

Whatever - stuffs going to get moved. As meauxna said, the little "moved" flag is still there and while I find it obnoxious to suddenly find myself in a different forum, whatever.

In the grand scheme of things - this is the least of our collective problems.
