Ian, the board admin does have thre options, do nothing, delete, or move the message to the board where it should have been posted to start with. Surnames can be a problem because if there is not a list for them, they cannot be moved.

Comment -- You can always request a board for that particular surname and when the board is approved you can then move it. I have this a time or two. :-) You also don't need to agree to admin a board to have one created.

You don't have to admin it. Previously (who knows with the new system), you would receive notice the board had been created and you could then move the message to it.
