I "do not have permission to access this page"

[Matt Day]

I was trying to check out a thread that was moved, and when I clicked on it I got this message. I thought Contributors had access to all forums?

Matt Day, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Matt,

You wouldn't have permission to get to the "private" forums such as the Moderator's Forum.

What thread were you trying to look at and what forum was it in?

[Matt Day]

It was entitled "Free Free Free" I think, and was originally in the General Woodworking forum.

Matt, I removed that thread because a similar thread was posted 2 hrs earlier by Mike Zilis: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...Day-Free-Trial (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?156428-Charles-Neil-s-Mastering-Woodworking-7-Day-Free-Trial)
It is in the Deals & Discounts forum.

Gotcha, so "Moved" really means "Removed". Thanks

[Bruce Page]

Matt, I “removed” the thread from public view by moving the thread to the Moderators Forum.

[Matt Day]

That's the root of the confusion though, since the majority of us aren't moderators we can't access it. I think it would be better if it's deleted from our view somehow, or just post something saying it's a duplicate and moved to the mods forum.

You know we're all like little kids and want to see what we aren't allowed to see!

Matt,

When threads are moved to the Moderators Forum they become invisible immediately. Possibly you were viewing the thread listing at the same time it was being moved. This would account for what happened.
