I'm going to move it back to Pools, because I don't see any other threads like this one there. I also don't see a whole lot of trolling in the thread.

For what it's worth, agreed on both points. Don't see why it should be removed or moved. Not having it would just cause more off topic posts.

Keep it real

Here's the reason behind it being on Off Topic right now:

Diablo moved it there from Pools originally (after locking it or something)
I moved it back to Pools
He moved it back to Off Topic
Back to Pools
Back to Off Topic once more

Apparently Diablo wanted to delete it because he thinks it doesn't belong on the board at all, but Theymos said not to. Theymos pretty much defers to Diablo's judgment in the Mining section because he, Theymos, doesn't read it a lot. Diablo said that there are too many of these topics there and that they are mostly full of trolling, so he thinks they should be deleted but they've just been moved instead.

I'm going to move it back to Pools, because I don't see any other threads like this one there. I also don't see a whole lot of trolling in the thread.

Let the chips fall where they may.

I may have to rethink my decision to stay in bitcointalk.

Maybe I will investigate that P2P forum thing.

That thread clearly belongs in Pools minimally, but even could be put in the MAIN "bitcoin discussion" forum as it crosses many topics and involves many key players in Bitcoin.

It's back in Pools now, definitely doesn't belong in Off Topic.

....and it's back in OFF TOPIC unfortunately.

Just to be clear, you agree that this belongs in POOLS, correct ?

I'd prefer to see it where it started. I have several boards ignored, one of which is off-topic, and so I would miss it if it were there.

Sounds like an edit war between two mods is brewing....

I'm so confused... Now it's back in off-topic.

I'd move it somewhere, but I fear that somebody would hit me over the head with a stick, regardless of where I move it.

...except it's in Meta now. That's one tricksy, wandering thread

Is there some sort of "Diablo's revoked actions"-counter available somewhere?

He definitely can't moderate the thread as it's in Off-Topic, I had assumed he moved it there from somewhere in the mining section.

He did, it was definitely Pools (maybe mining)this morning.

It was Pools. I posted in it this morning, then went back and it had disappeared.

This thread was locked by reason of being inappropriate, then moved from POOLS after Diablo did his handy work to it..

If that thread doesn't belong in the Pools forum, then there are many others that shouldn't be either.

Which sounds like he made the post, locked the thread, moved it, and I (and others) just happened to read it before the unlock.

If that's what happened, then it makes a lot more sense.

The thread is unlocked now, and the post labeling the thread "inappropriate" has been removed.

DiabloD3 is often abusing his moderator position.
theymos, I urge you to consider taking out his privileges.

is DiabloD3 trying to troll us or something? this is what usually happens:

1. randomly locks thread/deletes posts
2. members notice, and post a thread in meta
3. DiabloD3 (or some other staff) quietly reverses the action

4. Asks members for evidence (which has been deleted as of step 3) when they raise a complaint

Nice!
