Highjacking threads

[crazed 9.6]

and oh yes, while we are talking about it, well I been talking anyway ..lol
ummm... when I catch onto a hyjack that is in the category of not really meaning harm or confussion, just mistaken is all... I move them into their own thread. I do that quite often. It's no biggie and helps the members.

But them 'other' hyjackers, well... ummmmm I leave them for asft
Is maybe reason why asft sees all the worst
sorry buddy

Many forum communities get bit upset when users post new threads, when there are others relating to the topic. So users go in a thread relating to their topic and post a question. I myself have gone in threads and asked a question to the persons participating in hoping toget more info that relates to the OP's original problem, and been accused of hijacking :/ Back in my mind, I was like gesh I was trying to help.

I've seen this too and is a complete different way then I'd go about to organize threads/posts.
I never liked that, seemed to me it added confusion. Plus one goal of that sometimes is to keep post count down on new members in order to have a rep system that would mean something (in their eyes). Well that never works either.

I just see it has being LAZY, most questions are already answered on either that thread or other thread. My feel is that most hijackers log in. already with a question in mind but instead of looking for a thread that has the answer they look for the first thread that has something (and sometimes nothing to do with the original post). Don't get me wrong sometimes it is related.
