There are 12 moved threads with redirects, its rather annoying everytime I go there. Maybe remove redirects would be good right now?

With new threads, they'll disappear. I think you can live with one forum out of so many here having a few moved redirects. Also think of the members who may not know where their threads have gone - leaving redirects makes it easier.

The mod team to tend to leave re-directs in forums besides the modification submission forums as new threads there appear on the portal etc. With other forums, they do very little harm.

Well, there are valid points pro and contra keeping redirects.

Pro
- Users might not find the Threads any longer when they don't have them bookmarked/subscribed

Contra
- Formudisplay might get messed up
- Redundant Data, almost nobody will need them after a while

Solution on my Board
- Redirects are being deleted 1 Month after the last Post
- Users can decide if they want to see Redirects or not

im just saying someone should go in there and clean that up
not a policy or long term solution kinda thing
that forum looks like hell right now...hard to do a quick scan to find the thread ur looking for

edit: see someone has already reported this

Well as the last thread was posted 3 days ago and it seems most of them had found their threads I wen't ahead and killed all the redirects.

Normally I just leave them but it was getting a bit messy in that forum :)

That sounds like the perfect solution to me. But anyway, it's been done.
