If I see a thread that needs to be moved/deleted...

Should I just take action against the thread, despite the fact that other moderators may have taken part of the post without doing anything to the post, or should I consult with the moderator that took part in the post?

This is mostly because this thread:

http://buildism.net/forum/Thread-No-Hard-fealing-Ashely

It's a message that could of been sent in a PM, targets a user, and has gotten quite off topic. =/

"Since this directed to a user"

Technically, yes.
Generally - yes. So, yeah.

[Ashely]

Yeah.
