Why was this thread moved?

A poster posted a thread in AIBU about how upset she felt that people didn't value their children enough. It later transpired that the OP had had a child that had died.

A lot of people decided this made them feel uncomfortable and reported the post. The post was then removed and put into the bereavement thread.

Now, i'm damn sure that the OP chose to post in AIBU for a reason, and it wasn't so that it could be moved to bereavement.

Surely if MNHQ moved everything from AIBU into relevent catergories, then AIBU would be empty.

So MNHQ - why not do this for most of the threads on AIBU, or is it just the threads about dead children that make you feel uncomfortable?

Hi all, there were a number of members who reported the thread requesting that it be moved from AIBU out of respect for the OP. We made the decision to comply. Perhaps it was the wrong one but those requests were made with the very best of intentions.

Yes you're probably right Deemented - it shouldn't have been moved - was done with best intentions - someone wrote in saying that the poor OP would get a less adversarial response if the thread was in the bereavement topic and I imagine the duty person concurred but it we probably shouldn't move things like this around unless the OP requests it really - just causes too much confusion.

Sorry we'll not do again (unless it's merely for good housekeeping purposes).
