requesting a thread move 1

This morning I posted a satirical piece in the news forum about a kid who fell out of a roller-coaster and died. It was a tongue in cheek call for roller coasters to be banned. There have been several recent news stories about people falling to their deaths while under the influence of legal drugs, and politicians have been calling for those drugs to be criminalized for the sake of the children. I parroted their arguments in a call for the criminalization of roller coasters, following a falling death from a roller coaster that was in today's news.
The thread was deleted by a moderator in the news forum because he thought it was off topic, even though it referenced a recent news story and was implicitly about arguments used to justify criminalization of drugs.
I would like to suggest to the moderators of this esteemed online community that they make use of the "move thread" function rather than deleting quality posts that might be not quite appropriate for a given forum.
If my post was inappropriate for the news forum, then it would have fit nicely into the political forum, or the drug war sub-forum, or the pub. I would re-post it in one of those forums myself, but the thread has been deleted so I can't copy and paste it and I'm not inclined to spend another half hour tracing down the links to reconstruct it.
A significant amount of time was invested in creating that post, and that work is now gone due to the hasty judgment of one moderator.
If somebody with access to the dump would be so kind, I request that the thread titled "Rollercoasters claim another innocent life" please be moved to an appropriate forum.
Thank You
AJ

It was moved. To the bin.

quality posts
That's debatable.

Life is full of risks.
In the news forum description it reads: "Found some news which you think would interest this site's members? Providing they meet the requirements post them here! The Shroomery does not assure the credibility of these articles."
In the requirements it says:
- The submitted news should be related to the scope of this website. (mushrooms, psychedelics, drugs in general, war on drugs, etc....)
- Copy and paste the news article in a new thread and include the link to the source.
- The news should be up to date.
Aside from the fact that you are angry because your quality post got deleted, I don't see anything wrong with the moderating here. Other good men before you have suffered equal fate.

That's not especially helpful German Kahuna. In fact your first two remarks are more than a bit condescending. I'm requesting that the thread be moved. Put it in my journal if need be, but don't delete it so that I don't have access to it.
That's just petty. And yes, I'm angry that my work got destroyed for no good reason. Anybody would be angry about that. The worst crime I'm possibly guilty of is posting a thread in the wrong forum. The thread should have been moved not deleted.
I'm not interested any lectures or condescending remarks. I don't want to debate rules, I just want my work back. It takes a few clicks and anybody with a green or red name can do it.

AnastomosisJihad:
I moved the thread to your journal so you can consider posting it another forum if you like.
FYI: Veggie's a cool guy. If you send him a PM in the future, I'm sure he'll help you out if he can. I've had him move threads like this for me before. I'll do it in this case since I ran across the issue, though.

Veggie deleted your thread with a note to you that the reason will be given to you in a PM, which I have no doubt he did, so I don't understand why you bring it up here in what looks like a drama queen knee jerk reaction instead of discussing it with veggie directly by PM. I am sure he'd have listened to you and reacted perfectly reasonable.

PMing me with insults while not accepting PMs yourself? Now that's just sad. Can't handle criticism well?

I hope that doesn't surprise you.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
