@dahukanna Yeah, it's really a myth 'that you can move easily'. I've done it once and I'm not anxious to ever do it again.
As I understand it, it's not technically hard to improve it (e.g. also move your posts), it's a concern for abuse, which is frustrating. I've seen this movie too many times in my career: technologist's hard coding horrifically restrictive "correct behavior" when it should be so much more humane to keep the code simple and use a social norm to check for the potential harm.
