Attention... Everyone Please Read.

I might add that my experiences as Owner/Moderator of a number of email forums (fora) demonstrate that spamblockers are wreaking havoc with emails which are automatically generated (or have multiple recipients or whose domain or IP address has been "identified as a spam originator"). The problem lies wherein the spamblockers (e.g., SpamHaus, SpamCop) and the ISPs where installed think they know better than we do what email we should receive and not receive. I would rather receive 500 spam messages per day than miss a single legitimate (and thus important) message. I suspect if a CCF member has had a post moved to another topic and did not receive the automated email so stating that the member check his/her ISP to determine if it has a spamblocker installed.

The only cure is to yell and scream at the ISP who has subscribed to a spamblocker service and threaten them with loss of business, lawsuit, jihad, or something which will make them stand up and take notice.

It may be observed that I have absolutely no use for spamblockers. I consider them a form of censorship and a blight and pestilence on the email system.

might it just be possible for the individual that is having a topic moved to the correct forum, be advised of where it is being moved.

OK, this feature was not working correctly due to reasons beyond my control my stupidity. It's fixed now.

they let it run for two days on the main coin forum and THEN moved it to the Error Coin Forum...just PERFECT IMO. Thanks ADMIN!!!

There are several problems with that...

First, if everything started in the Main Coin forum, nothing would get the attention it deserves because it would be on page 2 very fast, at peak times, within 30 minutes. Of all the forum views (pages that actually view topic titles) on this site, (about 200,000 a month) less than one half of one percent are page 2 or higher views. A topic moving to page 2 is the kiss of death.

Second, the posters in the thread would then be left out to pasture when the topic is moved because only the topic starter would get an email, which the forum does automatically. It would take an incredible amount of time to move topics later, and have to email every poster in the threads manually to let them know.

Third, some people are just not interested in errors, varieties, photography, or off-topic threads. It's absolutely not fair to make them wade through these to find what interests them.

It's just better for everyone if the threads just start out where they belong. It's a whole lot more organized and fair to everyone as a whole.
