It's now actually worse. They now appear under a new thread / thread title which I supposedly started but in which you were the one who actually created.



Apart from the problems I highlighted earlier, there is also the problem of inconsistency. Some of the postings moved are not associated with the new thread title whilst some of those that remain in the original thread should be moved if that is indeed your intent.

It also contradicts the objective of merging postings/threads which is to gather various postings/threads into one accessible and major-themed thread. Now it is the opposite. The original thread is broken up into two or more threads.

The moved postings are now not as readily viewed or easily accessible as they slowly disappear into later pages. This is a waste as some of the moved postings carry news articles, gems of information and opinions from various posters and are useful to readers, visitors including the opposition parties and those who use this forum as a repository of information.

Unless postings are spams and thus deserve to be moved to the rubbish heap, please leave it to posters who are old enough to decide which threads they would like to participate or post their views in. This is after all a "coffeeshop" forum where gems can be found amidst some mess.

Thanks.

My most humble apologies. Truth be told, I was contemplating this issue and arrived at the same conclusion.
I thought I would move your posts and the corresponding responses back to the original thread, do you think that would be helpful to the rest of the audience?

Thanks. Please do. Not only mine but those who post under the thread as they had intended to. Otherwise it may lead to a "no head, no tail" problem and context may be lost.

I am sure everyone recognises that it's not easy doing this job as moderator and appreciates that you are not doing all this out of any malicious intent but are trying to be helpful in "categorising" the various "messy" postings. But it does lead to the problems I highlighted. (For info, I have to trawl through hundreds and and very often a few thousands news titles - I only read through those I find relevant - before posting them as a repository of sorts which I hope to be helpful for readers, forummers, opposition parties as well as visitors to this forum.)

Thanks again.

Zihau / Ptader

Its always a challenge and there is never an easy solution at hand. For instance, Ptader's posts on important historical events such as Tang Liang Hong affair are immensely important as well numerous quotes and principles quoted by the PAP which they have clearly breached over the years which are also relevant in many of the current issues. Not sure how we can capture them in a nice thread or sticky. Moving them from the original thread certainly breaks the chain. I am sure the members recognise their importance and for some an education by itself.

ps. What GCT and his gang did to Tang and his wife was pure evil and no basis in law. Look at what Tang actually said and did is not what many media made him out to be.

The nuances for two simple words, "can lah", can be different based on the tone and the context in which it was used... how silly of me gloss over that... but I'm learning
