Its a feature to help those who were following the threads to find where they went. If we did not have it enabled we would have people making new threads to cover ones they thought had been deleted. What I may do is try to find a function that auto deletes these threads after a certain amount of time.

Of not talking about those moves :) They are quite fine!

OH! Huh, okay I'll talk to the other admins and see what we think.

And disabled! If there are other ones that are a bit too ridiculous let us know.

Signature aside, there are many BBCode options the forum team is going to have to decide over. We'll think about adding move back in, it depends on the responsibility of the users I suppose.

There are more people complaining about it actually, just not in this thread.

I suppose it comes down to taste, but in general people find it annoying and childish. Especially since it always gets overused.
In case of your signature it's use wasn't bad. But in posts themselves it's super annoying.

Goodbye move tags.

I support the removal of the function.

Some things just shouldn't be in motion.

On the other hand:
Its a feature to help those who were following the threads to find where they went. If we did not have it enabled we would have people making new threads to cover ones they thought had been deleted. What I may do is try to find a function that auto deletes these threads after a certain amount of time.
This is a good idea as well.  8)
