Moved Replies Should Be Given a Heads Up

[wevetments]

When a forum staff bulk moves replies from one thread to another, there are cases where the moved replies’ context do not match the target thread’s OP.

This results in confusion and a messy thread. I’d like to suggest that when a forum staff moves a reply, whether bulk or just one reply, that staff member would first inform the target thread that

I will be moving 32 replies from this thread(link to old thread) to this thread.

This thread has gotten detailed from its original purpose. The question has already been answered and I was not referring to kicking for account age but rather disabling minor features that could be exploited or abused with mass account creation.

I agree. When I saw that thread it looked very confusing since the first moved reply looks, idk, out of place.

The second reply is recursive. The post is linking back to its OP because it originally wasn’t there. It (and every other moved reply) kinda loses context.

Doesn’t Discourse automatically show split this topic or merged this topic when posts are moved?
