Why this thread has been moved into announcements forums?

    This thread says about Bigoole and I am not asking for submissions but it has been moved to Announcements forums why?

    Can anybody give me some clear explanations as I have clearly stated that
    The bot is indexing urls so there is no need for me to ask for submissions.


    Instead I was asking for Suggestions to improve my directory


    The Bigoole was created mainly due to suggestions and discussions in this thread
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=188476


    So I consider that Directories section is an appropriate place for discussing about it rather than in announcements forum as I did not ask for directory submissions

    I hope Shawn and moderators would look into this matter!

    Another unsatisfied DP member- I'm sure the mods will tell you- why.

    I'm going to guess that it was moved because it is an announcement:

    an·nounce·ment
    1. The act of making known publicly.
    2. Something announced.
    3. A broadcast message, especially a program note or commercial.

    But I posted there as I was asking for suggestions only


    And also announcements forum is only for annoucing different directories and offers

    But my thread was different from those?

    Then why?

    I suspect some foul play by some members (not moderators)

    I'm sure if you take just a moment you'll see that your thread is actually an announcement. I'm sure that the forum the thread was moved to is for both Annoncements and Solicitations, of which yours is the former?

    You're not discussing directories in general, you're making an announcement regarding your own.

    I agree with CReed on this one. The fact that it is an announcement and you find people submitting (see posts 10 and 11) make me feel it fits more in solicitations and announcements than Directory area.

    If you are seeking suggestions I would suggest the site review area for your post. I will be happy to move there if it is more to your liking.

    I can't agree with you that it is an announcement

    I think mine is some what different from others so only I posted it there

    Also members who did not read the post fully took it as site asking for submission

    I want to people to review my directory as directory is largely different from a site!

    Oh than it should go to reviews section not even in directory section, cause websites review go to review sections.
    Maybe some mod will move it to review section for thats what you say it was about.

    I have always some issues with MODS regarding this Bigoole as it is a innovative one ?

    If it was ordinary directory then there is no point in asking here

    Its different from others so only I asked here

    I think we need some more good guidelines (even though there is a one)

    I always say directory review is different from site reveiws

    since directory is a collection of websites whereas a website simply caters to one area!

    LMAO, It could be confusing those two words announce and announcement ;)

    I am not sure what the big deal is, not like thread was pulled or closed. I read the whole post and it looks like an announcement to me. The added footnote was for suggestions:
