MNHQ, please can you go back to moving COVID-related threads into the COVID topic?

Obviously there are some run of the mill threads which are understandably in certain topics, but the hysterical and frankly in some cases offensive threads have started to re-appear at an alarming rate.

Could you not move those to the COVID topic where the hysteria mongers gather, that way those of us who have that topic hidden aren’t bombarded by so many of these threads.

Perhaps if all COVID related posts in AIBU could be moved it would be easy to keep track of which ones to move, and would encourage people with genuine COVID queries to post in the correct topic if they don’t want their thread hidden from a huge Chunk of MN.

Thanks OP, this is an interesting question.

We don't tend to move threads automatically, but can do so on occasion when they are reported to us. What are others' thoughts on this at the moment?

Don't hesitate to report threads, in any case, as we'll always take a look.

Thanks for the thoughts. We're still reading and passing them on.

In general, if Covid threads are reported to us we're still moving them but we have to say we aren't getting quite so many reported currently and perhaps that's connected to what a PP said here - it's all becoming a bit more part of our daily lives now and a bit more normalised, so it's harder to differntiate a Covid thread from a thread about visiting a supermarket or going on holiday. Anyway, those factors might explain why you're seeing more of them.

We're interested to hear people's thoughts though and do always report threads if you think they should be moved. We're always happy to have a look.
