Does not belong on relationships because it has nothing to do directly with my relationship, not on health because it is not for a,physical therapist. I posted on fhf because it is for me which therefor benefits my family, hence, families helping families. Why does this have to be soooooooooooo complicated omg lol?
The same reason you can't understand that tptb think differently and THEY RUN THIS SITE. 
For god 's sake now I know why people drink in the afternoon!!! I really wish tptb would comment!! How do we get them to do it?? Are they not here because it is a holiday?????
Not involved in this post- but I wouldn't mind a good old vodka and soda right about now...
That sounds yummy!!!!!!

Well, until LIF Admins designate "board moderators" (much like City-Data forums is set up), I think they are giving many of us free reign to report posts..I dont think thats so bad - the LIF Admins have the final say in what gets moved anyway. 
I totally agree. Which was really my point to the OP. Someone can report a post all they want but if tptb don't deem it necessary to move, they won't move it. Regardless of who reports the thread.
I agree with this. They didn't appoint a moderator but instead want everyone to "police" the boards themselves & if they deem it necessary to move them, they will.
It has nothing to do with who reports it or who posts it. I'm probably the poster with the most posts(pretty embarassing count actually) & I've gotten my posts moved too. I think anyone tellng you it's personal is trying to start cr@p - which I'm sure you don't need.
FTR, I think asking for a therapist belongs on relationships (for counseling) unless it's a physical therapist (then I'd send it to health). But it's not up to me/us to decide where it goes. It's the TPTB's job.

So we disagree. And apparently TPTB do too.
The OP was that you were confused about moving posts. Some of us are *trying* to help you understand why.
Maybe your new therapist will be able to help you deal with things that are out of control like messageboard administration.

And thanks, will have to put message board administration on my list of really important things to discuss, along with all of the other major things that have happened to me over the past few months. And thanks so much for understanding and not being sarcastic.

I, too, am a Ketel drinker and LIV was nice. I also enjoy Belvedere, and Grey Goose isn't bad, either. I wasn't a huge fan of Van Gogh, though.

Re: Confused.........about moving posts
I've been around a while (not that you can tell by my number of posts) and I can see both sides here.
I honestly think the people who report posts mean well.
I don't think it's a popularity contest. I am not a frequent enough poster to know - or care - who would even be considered "popular." However, I suspect that it might seem that way because the more frequent posters - people who might fall into the "popular" category - are probably the ones doing most of the reporting.
However, I see the other side as well. I think the frustration that many people have is the inconsistency. I've seen situations where a post gets moved then an almost identical post doesn't. I understand why that happens, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating.
I would not compare the process to organizing food in a grocery store. Maybe that would be possible if the boards were organized differently, but there are too many boards with overlapping functions, and too many questions that could get categorized in different ways. I think it's sometimes hard to tell the nuances of every poster's intentions. I once posted something that could literally have gone on four different boards. How does one pick which wins out? I think that goes by the poster's intentions, hence people's frustrations at having their posts moved - how is someone supposed to gauge someone else's intentions?
I don't think moving posts is always a bad thing, but I think it should be limited to black and white situations (i.e. - "where can I find a blue and white couch?" on FHF.) A post like the OP's about therapy could easily be construed as not fitting in any other board and would therefore go under FHF. Who is anyone to assume it's about relationships?
And speaking of the OP's post, the below comment was very insensitive.

I think what you wrote is well put. And thank you for also acknowledging how rude nrthshgrl's comment was. And insensitive. She seems quite classy. Unfortunately in the past I found her to be a poster that I respected, but no longer. There are people in this world who have things that happen to them in tis life, and sometimes they need a ittle therapy. Someone to talk to. The reason I need a therapist is because the last few months have been rough: my daughter and I had pneumonia right before Christmas, and she was sick with fevers for 3 weeks. Ear infection after ear infection, which landed her tubes. During the entire month, I had to stay out of work to care for myself and my child, I work In the children's pediatric emergency room as a nurse. After my child recovered, I was still sick, but needed to go back to work. My first day back I was written up for sick time. That same day while I was with a patient, I coughed and broke my rib. I thankfully had a few days off after that and returned to work in agony. On feb 5th, while with an 8 year old girl in my triage booth, she became unresponsive and wasn't breathing. I wasn't thinking about myself, or my rib, or my pain, and my first instinct was to scoop the child up, all 90 pounds of her and bring her to a room to resuscitate her. In the process I cracked my rib again. I can cry just typing this because I feel like the past 3 months now (how time flies) has been torture, emotionally and physically. For those 3 weeks that my 16 month old was sick and we just couldn't figure out why, I was a wreck. And thankfully she is better, and I go back to work and do the right thing and this happens to me again! I feel helpless, I am on workers comp now, I am bored and want to go back to work, I can't pick up my child from the pain, I can go on and on. When I asked for a therapist I was reaching out for help. Instead I felt like instead of helping it was more important to move my post to the "appropriate" board. And you know, even before when I read nrthrgrl's comment it didn't bother me as much as it does now. I can't believe how rude, ugly and nasty some people can be to each other. I am not perfect in any way, but I care about people and their feelings. Those comments I made about the virtual finger, etc were out of disgust and anger. But I honestly feel that when I answer someone's post, I answer it to be helpful, and I feel no help here. I just feel really insulted. And sorry for the long rant, I guess it just needed to come out. And PS, the young girl made it out of the hospital before I did. It makes me proud that I did the right thing, but I am just so depressed. That's why I came to this board for help. I learned my lesson though. Won't make that mistake again. I have been on this board since 2009 and liw before that. I have a great deal of respect for tptb. But I hope they open their eyes and see how people here are treating each other. It's really unfortunate, because this site can truly do great things for people. I will get off my  Now.

Not worth reading through kid. Unfortunately there are a select handful of very ugly posters who like to bully and put down other people. Don't waste your time.

You're right it was insensitive.
It's been repeatedly pointed out the other boards her post pertained to more. It's been explained that it's NOT personal if TPTB move a post. Everyone's posts get moved if they're on the wrong board. It's also been explained the reasons someone would report a post (to get a better response).
A thread that SEEMED to be asking a legitimate questions turned into posters fanning the flames of cliques, popularity comments, to everyone who reports a post is a bored SAHMs with nothing to do or rude.
From the OP's legitimate question of asking :
Posted by MrsC614
Maybe someone can better explain the process to me. There many times that I have posted on this board and I will receive an fm from admin saying it was moved for whatever reason. But who makes that determination? Is it people reporting the post? Does it take 1 person or multiple people? And what is the "families helping families" board actually for?? Last week I posted looking for a therapist, and it was moved to health where NO ONE responded to it, yet a post about tampons stays here for more than 2 days I mean, isn't that health related and not necessarily fhf?? When I posted my post about therapists, it was because me and my family needed help, hense the name of this board. Just really confused about the process and what this board is meant for. Can someone explain? Because I almost feel like it's sort of like if you don't belong to the clique, post gets moved. And it's really aggravating.
to this:
Posted by MrsC614
It's so stupid makes me not want to post here anymore, on lif in general. I never remember it being like this! But I think it's all about the clique.
Posted by MrsC614
Whatever. I can see this goes nowhere It's a shame because I used to be able to use this site as a really great resource but I think my problem is utilizing the " families helping families" aka bullcrap, people who think they know everything thing, great place to post about useless crap while drunk, board. I am pretty disappointed at what this place has become, because I really like Ron and Kim, I've met them on numerous occasions. Unfortunately I thin I have to do what lots of others have done, and that is to just stick to our "secret" mommy groups on Facebook, and our other secret groups where lots of us have gone. There is no crap there, and you get plenty of great advice instead of plenty of frustration . Peace out.
Posted by MrsC614
My point exactly. Like we are in highschool or something. How about, answer my question if you have an answer, and then like an adult say, oh btw, you might get some great answers on the health board Guess people are incapable of taking the extra few seconds to do such a thing

I wish there was an emoticon to give you the finger and tell you to shut the f up. You can kiss my u know what. Please, miss member since 2011 with almost 600 posts, go shove it.
Posted by MrsC614
And like i said, to tptb, this board should be renamed to " useless garbage " board, because there are no families helping families here.
I've lost any bit of sensitivity I had for this post.

There are people in this world who have things that happen to them in tis life, and sometimes they need a ittle therapy. Someone to talk to. The reason I need a therapist is because the last few months have been rough: my daughter and I had pneumonia right before Christmas, and she was sick with fevers for 3 weeks. Ear infection after ear infection, which landed her tubes. During the entire month, I had to stay out of work to care for myself and my child, I work In the children's pediatric emergency room as a nurse. After my child recovered, I was still sick, but needed to go back to work. My first day back I was written up for sick time. That same day while I was with a patient, I coughed and broke my rib. I thankfully had a few days off after that and returned to work in agony. On feb 5th, while with an 8 year old girl in my triage booth, she became unresponsive and wasn't breathing. I wasn't thinking about myself, or my rib, or my pain, and my first instinct was to scoop the child up, all 90 pounds of her and bring her to a room to resuscitate her. In the process I cracked my rib again. I can cry just typing this because I feel like the past 3 months now (how time flies) has been torture, emotionally and physically. For those 3 weeks that my 16 month old was sick and we just couldn't figure out why, I was a wreck. And thankfully she is better, and I go back to work and do the right thing and this happens to me again! I feel helpless, I am on workers comp now, I am bored and want to go back to work, I can't pick up my child from the pain, I can go on and on. When I asked for a therapist I was reaching out for help. Instead I felt like instead of helping it was more important to move my post to the "appropriate" board. And you know, even before when I read nrthrgrl's comment it didn't bother me as much as it does now. I can't believe how rude, ugly and nasty some people can be to each other. I am not perfect in any way, but I care about people and their feelings. Those comments I made about the virtual finger, etc were out of disgust and anger. But I honestly feel that when I answer someone's post, I answer it to be helpful, and I feel no help here. I just feel really insulted. And sorry for the long rant, I guess it just needed to come out. And PS, the young girl made it out of the hospital before I did. It makes me proud that I did the right thing, but I am just so depressed. That's why I came to this board for help. I learned my lesson though. Won't make that mistake again. I have been on this board since 2009 and liw before that. I have a great deal of respect for tptb. But I hope they open their eyes and see how people here are treating each other. It's really unfortunate, because this site can truly do great things for people. I will get off my Now.
I hope your rib heals quickly. I've had plenty of surgeries myself (not broken ribs, though), so I can empathize with a slow healing process, and sitting at home on "disability" and not able to do anything.
I truly have no animosity towards anyone here. My memory is so bad, I wouldn't be able to remember who I was mad at anyway... As soon as this thread falls off the first page, I will have forgotten all of the details.
There are a few "hot" topics on LIF that are like a minefield. I'm not sure why, but this is one of them. It's almost impossible to bring this topic up without some sort of drama unfolding.
Another problem with forums is that text doesn't convey true intention. After reading again my comment "promises, promises", I realize that could easy be read as snarky and sarcastic. In my head, it sounded much different, and more of a playful comment.
I'd estimate that less than 1% of my posts would be considered antagonistic in any way. Unfortunately, your first "drama" post landed in that 1%. The vast majority of my posts are either helpful, informative, mindless, or funny.
I'm hoping this incident won't turn you off from LIF. There really is a lot of good people, and good stuff on here.
BTW, I did not report your therapy post. I originally made a response asking about what type of therapist, because I only know of physical therapists, so once you replied, I stayed out of that thread. I honestly don't know the "appropriate" thread for counseling help threads.
