→Move to a correct board
==Introduction==
As well as moderators (who can edit and delete posts, etc), there are helpers on UKP who can do several small but helpful things:
===Move to a correct board===
* If things are on a regional board, and you are really sure they are general interest, it can be OK to move it. Cautious here - some of the regional boards have a banter going and the poster really may want it on the regional board.
* If things are on the genearl general board, but are very specific (e.g. 'What is a good agency in Nottingham?') then it is better on the regional board.
* Reviews should be on the regional review board ''where the punt took place''. If it is posted in error, move it. But use common sense - if the punter has a good reason to post where he did then best to leave it. While the 'legal' boundaries are clear, some places in one region may get most of the punters from another (e.g Stoke on Trent, West London that is part of SE).
* But otherwise, wait until the punters agrees. Example: he may describe a Bait and Switch. Which you think should be negative. Result: don't change. Because it is his review, not yours. When in doubt, leave it or report it.

===Categorise a Thread===
* Most threads don't need to be categorised.
* If it is about Massage, Sugar Daddy / Sugar Baby or Transsexuals, then a category can be added.
* This is normally done be the author.
* If was missed out, at the bottom of the thread there is a little box. Choose the right one.
* No you can't choose all three. Who gets just a massage from their TGirl Sugar Baby?
==Summary==
