[done] remove redirects?

[Logikos]

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.

what a mess -> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=110

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

much better

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