Hello All:
From time to time new topic postings may be moved to a forum that is a better fit for the subject being written about. This will happen either before a moderator approves the posting, or sometimes shortly after. In either case the author of the posting will receive an automatic email notification of the move.
If a topic is moved after posting the author will still be notified, but the rest of the forum readers will not. So, if you notice a new topic is not where you last saw it, chances are it has been moved. It is easy to re-find these simply by going to "Active Topics" on the top menu and selecting a time frame of one or two days back. This will bring up everything posted in that period, including any moved topics. Postings can also be located by search words, date or author in the Search feature on the top menu. If you are a forum member, you can also look up recent postings of any member in the Member list.
The author of a moved topic (or any forum member) can flag the moved topic by posting a reply to it. This will bring it up to the minute in the Active Topics list, so everyone will see it in their "Since Last Visit" listing.
To minimize the number of moved topics, please try and place new topic postings in a forum that matches the subject matter as closely as possible. After checking the list of forums, if you can't see anyplace where your topic fits, then just put it in the "Satsang Cafe" -- that is the catch-all.
Also keep in mind that we'd like to provide useful information across the board in the AYP Forums. That will sometimes weigh into a moderator decision to move a topic. For example, a topic on "Christian Meditation" posted in "Deep Meditation and Samyama" will likely be moved to "Other Systems of Spiritual Practice" because we'd like to provide a separate resource for those who are interested in Christian systems of spiritual practice. It is hoped that the "Other Systems" forum will eventually blossom into a wide array of discussions providing useful information on spiritual practices from many traditions around the world. This would be in addition to the many discussions on yoga practices going on in the yoga-related forums.
Apologies for the moved topics, but it is necessary in order to build up the forums in an organized and balanced way over the long term. Sounds analogous to good spiritual practice, doesn't it? 
The guru is in you. |
