Apparently the moderator moves threads that don't speak highly of the new RCU. But when you click on one it doesn't tell you where it has been moved to. I suspect they are moved to the round file!

I believe you are correct. Its pretty pathetic when you think about.
When I first joined RCU it felt like you were having a conversation with friends. Now I feel Like I'm in Macy's with Store Security looking over my shoulder.
If this behavior keeps up I will simply stop visiting RCU.
I don't need to Bash RCU the current behavior of the mods and site owners has done far more damage then any bash on any site.
Oh well I'll probably be lumped in the leach catagory and find my account removed next time I try to login

I think they move them to the appropriate forum section. When you click the thread, it comes up with "Problems blah blah..." and then a hyperlink to the thread.
This is better than deleting them, but it sucks that now I have 2 instances of IE open...

I swear some people think everything is a conspiricy.
They give you a link to where the thread was moved to. There is a forum just for these kinds of posts and they are putting them where they belong.
Click on the link provided and look at the top of the page.
You will see:
Forum Home >> RC Universe Support >> Problems, Questions Using RC Universe? >> "Thread title"
It doesn't get much more obvious to this if you ask me.

Esten, are you not seeing the link in the first post along with the name of the forum a thread has been moved to? The link leads you right to the moved thread. This should not be causing any confusion.
Threads are moved into the most appropriate forum. If it's a problem or question regarding how RCU works, I move it to the Problems, Questions Using RCU forum. If it's a suggestion, it goes to the Suggestions forum. If it's a question about fixing an air leak on the carb of a OS 46fx it goes to the Glow Engines forum. This is done to keep RCU neat and orderly, and allow people to find the information they're looking for more easily.
With the old RCU it used to be that when a thread was moved there was no sign of it in the forum in which it originated. I'd PM the topic starter, but it usually wasn't feasible to PM all of the participants. As a moderator one of the features I really wanted was the ability to leave a trace in the original forum, so that the thread's participants could easily find it and continue discussing the subject. In my opinion that's far preferable to people having to search for it on their own or think that it was simply removed. The new RCU let's me leave a trace, and it really is very simple to see where a thread was sent and access it. What is the difficulty you're experiencing, specifically?
