I assume this is a bug, but the last time I checked (1 minute ago), the topic about my Poseidon Browser has been misteriously moved from Computer Discussions to Customizations. Anyone got any clues why this happened?
Another simmilar problem happened with my guide on how to set a static DHCP adresss. One day it just dissapeared frmom the board...
That would be all. Could the primer please be undoed?

You won't received a PM for a moved topic, only deleted. Chances are your topic hasn't been deleted, it was either never posted or was posted under another name and you simply can't find it.

I don't know about the deleted topics, but I was the one moving the Trident topic. As Andy said, we don't notify members if we move the topics, and since the topic is a project with a custom name and modifications (regardless how small they are) it was fit to be in Customisations. Simple as that, unless you can prove the project is an official project by an official company - if it is then you should change the contents of the topic since it's then flawed.
@aLinux: Remember that we admins set the rules, and even if we're set to follow them just as all members are we do have the mandate to break them if we deem it necessary. No one here needs to quote the rules to us - we are very much aware of them since we designed them and put them on the forum. Also, you accepted the rules yourself when joining the forum, so you broke them by trying to point out that we broke them - with the difference that the admins have the right to break them if needed. You don't.
Please, stop backseat moderating, if you feel a post is wrong you can either report the post or PM the user making it. If you do that then at least we won't give you warnings for backseat moderating.
And a small note to other users (if you happen to see this post): be sure to post your stuff in the right section. There has been a lax attitude towards putting topics where they belong and this gives us mods a lot more headache when cleaning up your mess. Take an extra second to think about where the topic fits best.
