One option I have seen elsewhere (and like) is to;
a) move/clone the original message across to the new form, and leave in its place a place holder and redirect link to the new message, with the message saying it has been moved.
b) lock the original thread to prevent any more replies being added.
This means the message end up in the correct forum, and can be easily found by the original author if he came back to that forum looking for responses, all the baggage is left with the original under the locked thread, which of course is now dead and can't receive any more heat.
The only problem with this, is i someone has replied with a valid answer to the message when it was in the wrong forum, do you try and move it, leave it where it is etc. etc. as you obviously don't want to create an administrative nightmare.

Currently, when a message is moved, the link to the message will always send you to the correct forum, so if you have the original link (or email notification) you'll find it again. However, if browsing, you won't, so a placeholder may be of value there. However, if someone's posting programming questions, or soapbox material in the lounge, do we really want traces left over?

There was a period when we had a bug in our system that would, under high load scenarios, sometimes allow duplicate names to be used. This has since been fixed.

Agreed. He dumped answers on another question as well. I have deleted those, but the hamster's can check it out and proceed accordingly.
He has also posted a bunch of messages in the forums that are the same. I have voted to remove on all of those as well.
Messages[^]
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

Me too. I voted to have the posting removed. This guy needs to be shown the door ...

He[^] is posting irritating messages[^] everywhere. Why didn't he post any messages in JSOP's recent articles? afraid of his gun?

Not troll. Spammer. Time for the spammer hammer. On a positive note - take a look at the classification for the number of messages he's posted[^].

Yep, you right. The advertisement URL is broken

I think he is a Spammer rather than a Troll; he's just trying to get some free advertising for his own articles.
|
|
|
|

Yeah, his ad URL is broken in half of his messages.

I just replied to a post from the lounge, and repeatedly got "You do not have permission to perform this action".
What it was trying to tell me was "This thread has been moved to the Soapbox while you were typing your reply"

How to Insert images in Tips/Tricks? I tried that in my Tip/Trick[^] but I couldn't  . For my new Tips/Tricks(More than couple) I need to insert images so please tell me how to do that.
I tried following ways but all failed

I'm jealous of Alex[^], look at his all Tips/Tricks. Most are with nice images. Example HTML5 YouTube player shows Top100 statistics[^](He should have taken a snap from that video after couple of secs & inserted that in that Tip/Trick  )
