Moved Threads

I hate to be questioning any action of the staff, but holy cow, would whoever is moving threads wholesale please tap the brakes? I was a staff member once and I myself report threads that need moved. So, I understand exactly how things work here. Is there a new mod here, a new incentive, too much caffeine, or just one mod that has suddenly become overzealous? Can I ask that you please ride your brakes a bit? Some threads about engines are about other aspects of the truck and/or specific to that engine in relation to the specific truck. One small block tread is about getting vacuum to the brakes, for instance. The member was getting plenty of help right where it was, for a while, and now it's popped off the screen. I was helping and I don't really go to the engine board to help because there are plenty members with far more engine specific expertise. There are others but that's one example. I realize some were wrong, such as asking "why am I getting this message" in the 67-72 MB. Although, that was moved to GD rather than Site Feedback? Even if all the moved threads are appropriate, wholesale moving of threads creates another kind of mess. The first page is full of dead space. I don't see all these threads adversely affecting the function here. Other threads don't seem to be drifting back too quickly or anything like that. All I am asking, if I may, is ease up a bit? For the benefit of the site, which I believe it would be. This isn't to please me. I feel I am taking all others into consideration on this. I really don't believe others were affected in a negative way with some of these threads exactly where they were

Like I said, I hate second guessing staff or telling them how to do their job. I feel I'm treading on thin ice, but really, I think it is that bad that I am sticking my neck out. I think the administrators know that I care a lot for this site and like to help wherever I can. This isn't for me, it's for the site. And this isn't an order, it's starting a conversation on a concern.
