And you'll note that the mods here at CPF and CPFMP are more sensitive to thread topics and posts being in the proper sub-forums.
At first, I thought they were being overbearingly oppressive about it, but I soon realized how damn many posts these two forums get
every single day. This is one of the largest, most active forums I've seen, and as such, it really does need tighter control than most others or it would be impossible to find the information you want.
The forced organization as you have personally experienced is definitely needed and most welcome here, even if you have to feel the cold hard sting of a moderator's slap once in a while.
