that makes sense, and I understand that. if someone posts a gear question in the open discussion, it should be moved to the gear discussion. I agree. but if someone posts talking about a new shop they were going to go to, wouldn't that be in open discussion?

I can understand thread moving when it's very obvious that it's in the wrong place. but when it really is just about something like going to a new shop, then wouldn't that be non-guitar related, hence meaning it should belong in the open discussion?
