You all are asking good questions. We don't mind answering them.

Here's a question: I posted this article last night and it was moved to chat within minutes. In addition the categories were changed to Pets/Animals.

I Freepmailed the Admin Moderator and JimRob as well as signing a abuse report. It wasn't until Jim responded privately that the article was replaced in the News/Activism forum.

So the question is: Why would a moderator move the article to Chat and change the catergories to Pets/Animals?

It's an article about Manatees. Cool animals. (at least it wasn't moved to sports or movies) I suppose (i'm really taking a stab at this too) the mod who moved it saw the article, read some of it and thought it was a pet/animal thread. We don't maliciously move threads. You did right by asking why. Your thread was moved back. Sometimes Jim is the only person moderating, or there is only one moderator on, and can't get to all the abuse reports immediately. We are all volunteers, and work a volunteer schedule. Like I said before we make mistakes, but we try to correct them as soon as possible. Just let us know, as you did.
