Default Threads in wrong area

If there is an administrator around, I just noticed 2 threads in the GPS forum that really would be better serves in a different one.

Normally something like this would be moved to an appropriate section.

Threads disappear all the time. To be correct, threads that have nothing remotely to do with the R12GS are either removed or, if from a newly registered user, not approved in the first place.

Most of the deleted or never approved threads are spam. On a bad day I'll kill 2 dozen spam replies and/or new threads that were held for moderation so the membership doesn't have to see them. Once in a while I kill a reply or thread where it looks like the original poster had multiple windows open and responded to a question in some other forum in this forum.

Apologies to any whose postings I may have removed in error. Alas, once a posting is removed I can not bring it back.

As an Admin on bikersoracle.com I know this story only too well, Marc. Have you considered installing the stopforumspam.com registration add-in for VBulletin?
