I am happy with either situation
Now:
- If the post aptly fits into the topic it has been moved to then there is no need to explain why.
- If the post is not apt then I would edit it and note that it has been edited.
- If the reason for the move is not obvious then I would explain why.
Requested:
- If the post aptly fits into the topic then a banner will largely be superfluous. It won’t help the flow at all.
- If the post is not apt then saying it has moved will give warning that there is a reason why but that won’t automatically make the post content any more acceptable.
- If the reason for the move is not obvious then I would explain why.
The issue for me is that neither option addresses two possible necessities after moving a post:
- Editing the post so it makes sense.
- Explaining why it was edited and/or moved.
The why (e.g. it is more usefully addressed in this topic) is generally more important than the what (e.g. it is moved) so the current request is just nice and not compelling.
Instead, or in addition, I would prefer to have the option to document the move with a custom text reply or a canned text reply for commonly occurring reasons. But this again is just nice to have and would not be a priority for me when I’m waiting for far more desirable features e.g. fully developing tags.
