It was moved, due to the not-so-AO-friendly content, to a dark corner of the forum that is inaccessible to those who don't have moderator or higher status.

whats the point in that? Do you mods go and read em or something? Why not just delete it?

Sometimes we move them there for evidence to preserve the infraction so we can see if someone repeats the infraction. Sometimes we forget when moving them to not leave a redirect and you see the "Moved" redirect and cannot get in and even other times we move them for your own private viewing! :D

If you just delete it then its gone for good with no evidence. We often use several technics to keep records and moving them to somewhere you cannot see them is one of those. But the move function is by default leave a redirect and if we forget to change that it will leave a redirect message like you saw but you will not be able to get into it.

What worries me is why you wanted to click on a thread with "Porn" in the title! And one that said it was moved. I may just have to tell your Mom your clicking on Porn threads... :eek: :rolleyes: :D

Well you still got a Mom though? :)

Yea well if thats the case something happened in the thread and the Mod forgot to unclick the redirect option when he moved it. Sometimes we move em in a HURRY! :(
