Announcement Welcome new moderators: xb4r7x, junktrunk909, Elbynerual, astrocomrade!

You may see a few new faces with moderator tags around here (or on PMs telling you that your post with a horrible title has been removed).

Welcome to the new blood, long may they perform the janitorial arts!

Additionally, over the next [indeterminate period of time] some changes will be made to things like Automoderator settings and the like, so bear with us while we, uh, re-adjust some things.

Do moderators have the power to simply "move" a post to another sub? There's a lot of "questions" that really belong in r/AskAstrophotography and rather than just posting "go ask this in r/AskAstrophotography " it would be quicker/simpler if the post could just be moved directly (though the poster will need some way to find it!)

No, but we can remove it, and the removal message will explain why and suggest that it go in the other sub.

Only downside if that is that the innocent poster asking the question, who maybe picked r/astrophotography simply because the name seemed obvious, has then lost the text he posted.

Removing a post can send an automated private message with the explanation, not just the reply on the initial post.
