In post 18, I wrote about corruption censorship that is done via thread moves, but here is a little more on that. When an author starts a thread on a particular subforum, his choice is part of the narrative. A lefty might start a thread on vaccines or masks, and because he feels that masks and vaccines are about health, he will likely post it in a healthcare related subforum. When a righty posts a thread about vaccines or masks, he may see these as political topics, so he would post them in politics. When a mod moves these topics around according to his own political beliefs of where they belong, he is exploiting administrarive authority.
Corrupt thread moves can also occur if the thread is moved for revenge or out of resentment. Not many threads are initiated in the flamer room for example, but a mod can move a thread there to have it trashed under a different set of standards. When a thread gets moved to where bottom feeders can trash it more than they do in the subforum that the author intended, it not only suppresses the authors intent, but it exposes it to malicious bottom feeders. A mod can maliciously feed a thread to the wrong subforum like paper to a shredder.
