Am I the only one unaware of the topic mods?

I asked this question about the origins of water and listed as a topic “simple question, but I’m baffled.” Somehow, this was changed to “science” and “chemistry” without my knowledge.

It was explained to me that in order to make Fluther more searchable, the topics sometimes had to be edited. I’m not sure I like that…the doing it without consulting me part. When a question gets sent back, I have the choice to change or abandon it, and the guidelines for asking questions are quite plain.

Where are the guidelines for topics?

I know. I know. Mountain. Molehill.

How long have we had topic mods?
