if i recall correctly, the 'locked' post actually started something like 'not sure if this is the right place to post this, but...' so the op was actually aware that certain threads belong in certain forums.

as mentioned above, the moderator 'let it slide' until it was reported; the thread was posted in the wrong place to begin with.

the thread linked above is in the 'clubhouse' forum, which i believe is a designated place for off-topic discussion.

i don't understand why people are mad/angry/frustrated - we all signed up to a site, a site which has rules that we all agreed to follow, and in this instance the rules had to be enforced. it's really no big deal.

the thread was reported by another member before it was locked. the beauty of this is that RCU actually gives the members a chance to police the site before stepping in to regulate. we should be thankful to have a 'place' that operates so smoothly.
