Moving Posts

While I admit that this may be something that would probably end up seeing little use and could be a little challenging to implement, but would it be possible to add a system to allow GMs to select multiple posts to move to new threads if the need required it. I don't want to name names out of privacy's sake, but I know a time a GM I was in a game with had to move 50+ posts from one thread to another because of a rapid posting spree while he was away for a weekend or something and I do remember that he was a bit peeved about the time it took doing that. (I forget the situation exactly since this was a long time ago and I'm no longer in the game.) So, is it possible to have something that allows GMs to select posts in a thread to move them elsewhere among a list that currently exists?

If this were possible, I would give it a +1,000,000. Whether it's fixing misplaced posts or consolidating disparate threads into one, I would use this a lot.

Re: Moving Posts

It would be pretty amazing. it would also be awesome to click a button that brings you to a thread merge menu then merge a thread into another entirely (maybe a few options like merge after,merge before, keep old name, keep new name, rename). I worry that would be murder on bandwidth though.

Re: Moving Posts

I am aware it would be a huge problem with bandwidth Smiter, but who said that the number of posts had to be unlimited? I imagine moving even ten posts at a time would be extremely helpful. It's far more time efficient than using copy and paste on each individual post to get it in a different thread.

Re: Moving Posts

It would also cause issues with the numbering of posts, and with their time stamps, which would screw up the new message indicators for your game.

It might be possible to do in future, but not at the moment.
