The ChondroForums are set up as several individual forums, each with a distinct purpose. If a user makes a post in one forum that is more appropriate for another, the moderation team may move that post to the correct forum. Users should understand that this is strictly a "housekeeping" chore and is in no way a punishment or demotion for the user or the post.

The most common reason that posts are moved is when a breeding or hatch topic gets posted on the main forum, rather than in the Breeder Forum. Please note that even though such posts may not specifically mention animals for sale, they do tend to promote the breeder or the possibility of animals being available at a later date. They also can grow into buying and availability discussions that are not permitted in the main forum, even if the poster does not intend for this to happen. Please post all breeding questions, as well as pairing, copulation, egg laying, hatch, and availability announcements, on the Breeder Forum.

The second most commonly moved posts are those with contact requests and want-ad content. Please post contact requests and want-ads on the Breeder Forum. This is to keep the main forum focused on informative posts of interest to all.

It is the policy of the moderation team to inform users when it has become necessary for a post to be moved.
