One more "complaint", while you're still taking them. ;-)

The wholesale moving of "Passion" threads to chat is not right. I'm not talking about vanity posts or non-sourced posts, but actual articles, written by "media", included in mainstream publications should not be moved to chat.

They don't belong in Chat. They may not be being posted in the forum they should be posted in, but they don't belong in chat. If you have to move them, what is wrong with moving them to the Religion forum instead of chat?

There for a little while, at least one of the Mods agreed that this was a legitimate request and moved the "Passion" related threads to the Religion forum instead of the Chat forum. Now, they are being wholesale moved to "Chat" again.

Please, please, please don't move legitimate sources "Passion" threads to chat. If you must move it, and I'm sure that there are some that need to be moved, please place it in the appropriate forum, which for the "Passion" related threads I would think would be Religion.

Thanks.

Yes, agreed.

We have been trying to strike the right balance between letting the news play while not having the forum be swamped with all Passion, all the time. The pendulum swung too far, and we have since readjusted.
