Hello, I have a little suggestion 
I ,Myselfe, am a moderator/Administrator on a forum back here in sweden and sometimes there are messages that have been missplaced to the wrong place, or it simply contains such information that has to be removed. It can be posts that are up for flaming, spamm or is simply breaking the rules on the forum. I have noticed that some messages here are moved from time to time, but not all messages have the text Moved - A great way to deal with forums and authors of different messages is to inform the authors by a message of some kind.
I Myselfe prefer to use the Private Messaging function, and I also instruct all my moderators to do the same, I inform the author of the message that it has been removed or why it has been moved from the thread. I have been forum moderator for 5 years now on different places and I have to say that it is a great thing to do when you as moderator moderate the different forums in many perspectives. One good reason is that the authors don´t get unnecessary upset by the measure taken by a moderator and another is that you dont have to loose to many authors from the forum.
I do not know how it works in the U.S but the system has proven most effective here in sweden on the different forums I have been moderator on, and on others webbsites aswell A good forum is a forum with pleasant surroundings that can manage almost every situation that can suprise even the most experianced moderator sometimes. A good moderator can manage a conflict without getting personaly involved and control the power over the forum without getting delusions of grandeur. Well just some words about remove and move.
Thanx for the word:
