Moderation discussion

[goji]

Certain members have taken exception to moderators moving off topic posts.

However, to put the case for moving posts:
1 There have been numerous threads where the conversation has been taken off topic, often with someone arguing with one of the trolls.
2 Whilst some still mistakenly think it's worth arguing with a troll, many of us have the trolls on ignore and don't particularly want to see threads interrupted.

Now of course, it may be the prerogative of any member to feed the trolls, but it is equally reasonable for threads to remain on topic, as many members expect that.

Also, if someone wants to have a member v troll argument, what's so difficult about having that packaged up and kicked off into a dedicated thread ?
This keeps the original thread on topic, makes it easier for us to ignore and allows the participants to easily find their "output".
Everyone wins.
