The suggestion is good but the million dollar question is when will any update be implemented in the forum? We will need to wait or have someone make the code.

right, we have been waiting for years for the new forum, and besides the merit update i don't think we got any other big update afaik except the patches from @PowerGlove

Would anyone agree with me that before moderator (s) should lock ones thread or moves thread to other board section, the OP should be notified on or before taking the action?

Your posts can only be moved to forum trash bin. You will receive notifications when your posts were deleted by moderators, except is if moderator trashed all that thread including your posts in it.

Your threads can be moved to either another board or a trash bin too. In this case it is a thread movement to another board, and you will see it when you click on your Profile, then Show the last topics started by this person.

For example with this moved thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/moved-microstrategys-bitcoin-portfolio-surpasses-20b-roi-now-over-100-5517807

You will see.

This topic has been moved to Bitcoin Discussion.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/microstrategys-bitcoin-portfolio-surpasses-20b-roi-now-over-100-5517800

In addition, it is shown in a topic title too with MOVED: and grey color.

In many cases the people who create Megatopics are spammers and they don't care much if the topic is closed or moved. The suggestion is good but the million dollar question is when will any update be implemented in the forum? We will need to wait or have someone make the code.

The Mods are going to "Move" or "Lock" it anyway. What would be the point of notifying the OP?
So he can object to the action by the mods? I don't get it.

I don't think the OP means it in that way. It's not like he wants the mod to take permission or ask for his permission but he just wants it in a way that he will know that his topic has been moved to another board.
I don't think the mods need to notify the OP while moving a topic, but I think the telegram bot should notify the OP, if it doesn't already do that.
I don't think its a big deal anyway.

I don't mean where the OP should have to give the moderator a "go-ahead" order before the action but It should be as when our post is deleted and we are being notified about it on the message box.
That would so much create a visible awareness about our posts when moderately tampered.

Very nice idea, because even the telegram notification bots doesn't alart ops when his topic have been moved by moderators, adding this feature to bitcointalk will improve things alot at least ops will always be notified to know where and when his topic have been moved.

The essence of all this is not to less the work of moving a thread for the moderators or even the ops himself, but to create that awareness for the ops whenever the moderator does the job for them, instead discovering that your topic have been move only when you visit the thread manually for your posts history.

If possibly it should be an email notification I stead telegram bot notification, since telegram forum notifyer is somewhat a third party bot, but email notifications is forum setting features.

The moderator is not taking order from the OP before taking the action but just think the OP needed to eh notified

As for deleting the topic… I think it helps alert the poster not to spam or do the same mistake again. It's sort of a warning to the poster.

Yes I agree with you that notification on deleted posts plays an important role or correction to the poster, but if you check the one on Locking and Moving thread it would also help the poster to that the post has become irrelevant that is why it has to be locked it was not posted on the right board.

That definitely would help users on their post qualities and rightful place it should be posted.

I think it would make some relative sense receiving a notification message about ones thread been moved by the moderator to another board just it's done with deleted post.
Am not sure some real newbies do have a clue why their thread got moved to another board away from they one originally had it created, but with such notifications it could draw their attention and enlighten them better without them having to wonder why their thread got moved.

But I doubt admin will take this suggestion serious anyway.

What the OP means and the thread you are referring to are two different things. I believe you are pointing at this thread . Should moderators make a post to justify why they locked a thread?

Yea, obviously the difference is clear between the subjects of the two thread's. Probably @Churchillvv didn't critical take a notice on the difference before concluding about that.

I agree that a notification for moving threads isn't necessary because the reason is pretty apparent. A topic is moved only when it belongs to another section and has been posted in the wrong section. However, when it comes to locking issues, I believe it's not a bad idea to notify the topic starter about why their topic or thread has been closed/locked.

There can be many reasons for mods to lock a topic; it could be because the purpose has been served and OP isn't doing it himself, or it could be because a topic has become a spam fest and it needs to stop, or maybe a topic goes against a forum rule and has to be locked. So, when a mod locks a topic, they should be asked why they are doing it, and then that reason should be included in the PM or email received by the user who started that topic to make it clear to them why their topic has been locked. I think this can be a helpful feature.

@OP, you can suggest this in the thread: Little things that bug you/me about the forum by @PowerGlove

He might create an SMF Patch with this feature if he likes the idea.

Even though I don't know how this could be implemented or how that will help telling the OP before posts are moved or locked, I feel there should be some sort of notification to the OP when threads are locked. That of being moved to another board is not a problem because the Telegram notification will always indicate that the post have been moved by the mods. On a second thought, I think mods move posts to the appropriate boards in line with their duty in the forum and I know they are not answerable to the forum users but the forum administrators who engaged them and give them their duties. To that end, this matter is not really a serious one that is open for discussion.

A user who engages in the topic he created/posted will realize that it has been locked or moved in the shortest time possible. People who make posts and then forget them don't deserve any reminder, to be honest.

It's for the sole purpose of reminding and notification, since it's a moderation act of mods and so you can appeal if necessary, just like the deletion of posts. Some forums have feature like this tbh.

Which @PowerGlove have provided a solution to it here Determining a topic's lock-type (SMF patch) and the change was one of the fastest to be implemented by the administrator..
