Default I'm Not Volunteering, But I Am Suggesting Two Simple Changes

1. Substantially reduce the number of posting categories in TOTV. There are several that can be combined and a few others that are infrequently used eliminated. Just the reduction in categories will make it easier for members to understand where their messages should be posted and for the "posting police" to properly move those few that probably should be moved.

2. The policy regarding the movement of a posting should be that posts should not be moved unless they represent an egregious variance from the defined content of the forum where the member posted it. I think that should result in very few postings being moved--less confusion for the members and less work for the talk hosts.

There was a great suggestion made by someone here that if a thread is moved, that the original note be left where it was originally posted with an alert that further discussion in the thread was moved to x-y-z Forum. That way readers/participants/members can easily follow the discussion and even participate if they so choose.

P.S. No one should have to work 24/7. Isn't there a law prohibiting such a thing?
