Seriously

If it was moved into spam it would render the thread somewhat irrelevant, it has an active poll too.

Poll = can't be moved... HOW?

I'm also not sure how it's irrelevant whilst in spam.

How was this thread moved:

But not that one.

Well it just looks like a bit of a rant to me and members cannot discuss sackings anyway.
The reasons have already been given to you above as to why the thread is in Discuss Anything.
There maybe threads of more substance in spam but the members chose to post them there and
we don't move them. It's their choice.

At least there's a discussion rather than 60 identical posts.

It's fine where it is but I'll keep an eye on it.

Justify why this thread in particular is suddenly exempt from forum rules.

This rule
"~ Do not posts threads which only allow for short, one or two word answers and do not promote active discussion."
is specifically designed to combat this type of thread, if moderators won't get off their arses and enforce it then they should be fired.

Because the point of the thread is to discover which months members were born in and collect said information in a poll - something which a lot of forums do. If it was to be moved to spam, discussion would become completely off topic and ruin the thread. As it is, there's no real "spamming" in that thread as most members have only posted once or twice.

It's not being run by forum management and there's a rule which it is violating. FACT.

There is no discussion at the moment anyway so I don't see what the problem is.

With respect, one thread that perhaps slipped the net on the first day but attracted replies the majority of which are a lot more than one or two words is perfectly fine. If it had atracted a majority of replies of just one or two words then you would have a complaint. In any event
there is moderator discretion which was used and I am not sure that we have to justify it anyway.

I DO have a complaint, because it has "atracted a majority of replies of just one or two words".

If the rule isn't being enforced on the type of thread it's aimed at then why bother keeping it. It is not your job to decide whether a rule is correct or not but to enforce it, granted, discretion, but NOT on the thread it was intended for.
