I usually only participate in mentalism or bizarre forii.
I have a question: why are posts moved from the "penny" to other sections. even if the post relates to an effect that is not known as a mentalism effect, it is still adressed at a community of people who think alike and who are likely to think about the problem posed in a mentalism way. which is what I'm after. if the mods move it to the "apprpriate" section according to their criteria, I loose all the benefits of the mentalism spectrum. can someone please explain why that happens. I have never understaood that, but its the first time it affects me. it is highly frutrating... |

The forums are set up by category and subject, not by who contributes to them. If the topic is about mentalism, then it will most likely stay in the penny forum, or Inner Thoughts if it's a detailed discussion of an effect.
A simple example would be a pick a card effect. The spectator chooses a card and the magician or mentalist reveals the name of the card. That would be an effect for the workers forum. Now, the same effect could have a mentalism slant or perspective but overall, it's a card trick and if posted in Penny, it would be moved accordingly. Your question is very broad and generic. The next time it happens, drop one of us a PM and ask. We'll take a look and explain why it was moved.

So youre saying that if mentalists want to discuss a "think of a card effect" , they have to do in the " workers" section because it would be moved there?

That's correct. If a dove worker wants to discuss a card effect, he would go to the workers forum, not the Polly want a cracker forum. If a coin worker wants to discuss a card effect, he'd go to the workers forum not the nothing up my sleeve forum. So it follows suite that if a mentalist wants to discuss a card effect, he would go to the workers forum and not the penny forum.
Again, it's not who is doing the discussing but what is being discussed.
