I wrote an article (partially) about this in KQ #7.
Chris Self: Ow. Man, that tape nurses use really hurts to pull off.
We merged the two threads on this topic.
I removed a bunch of posts. I think this thread is done.
I removed a couple incendiary posts.
Also, it would probably be best if this thread stayed on topic. Some of you are probably looking for the Civil Religious Discussion thread.
This should be fixed now

So what you're saying is that, in an off-topic thread, that has specific explicitly tagged images AS NSFW, that such are off-limits, or some more so than other?
This is good to know. :p
Please keep in mind that there are children who read (and post to) these forums. We like to keep things PG-13 where possible.
Liz: If Strahd came up and asked for postage, that's a little...different.
I've found the bug causing this message to pop up when it shouldn't. It should be fixed sometime this afternoon.. (I'll post again in this thread when it is fixed.)
That thread appears in the recruitment forum when we attempt to investigate. Are you still experiencing this problem?
I removed another 'popcorn' type post.
I've transfarred the campaign to your account, Snorter.
I removed a post that was very condescending to the Paizo community.
I added a spoiler tag.
I removed a few posts that threatened to drive this thread off the rails. Keep it civil, everyone.
I removed a post and the replies to it. Play nice.
Please don't create a second thread for the exact same topic. Original thread is here. This thread is locked.
You may bump your previous thread if you haven't gotten a response and want to go back to the top if the recent posts list.
Lissa: They fight crime!
Mabven the OP healer wrote: Mr. Byers, if I post a thread in rules questions entirely about the hypethetical comparison of use-activated and continuous spell-like effects, and whether either one of those types of magic item effects can cast a spell on an item removed from it more than once a round, are you going to move it or lock it? As long as the rules question is the primary concern of the thread, and not a secondary discussion, it should be left alone.

Your thread title is referring to making a magic item. The first several paragraphs refer to what your new magic item does. Your question is about which pricing guideline the item falls into, rather than a section of the rules with stricter interpretations. Your first reply to the thread, when presumably you know what it is you're asking, is a list of ways to apply the pricing guidelines. To me, that looks like a thread about how to price a new magic item.
Furthermore, with the amount of attention given to the item before getting to your central question, it seems likely that having answered your question, conversation would have veered toward how to design or tweak your item.
Additionally, "bothering to read the post carefully before moving it" isn't always an option for us. There are over a hundred threads created on these boards every day and thousands of posts (Yesterday there were 116 new threads and new 4,227 posts,) and we don't have any full-time moderators. If we 'carefully read' every thread before deciding if it is in the right forum or not, we'd never get our actual jobs done.
As a result, we do make some mistakes, which we will generally rectify when the thread is brought back to our attention (usually by the 'Thread is in wrong forum' flag.)
However, in this case, I do not believe that I have made a mistake.
If you would like to continue to discuss our moderation practices, please create a new thread in Website Feedback.

I think I am completely justified in thinking this is an appropriate rules question, because I am mostly discussing the difference between use-activated and continuous spell effects on an item, which I do not find an easily accessible definition of either, even though it is written in the core rulebook.
If the question were 'How do use-activated and continuous effects work?' it would be a rules question. Your question is 'How do I price this item I just made up?', which is a homebrew question, the same way 'Is this feat I just invented balanced?' is.
Relative traffic is not a valid reason to post something in the wrong forum: It just makes the forum labels meaningless.
This thread has been moved, because it is not a rules question. Creating new magic items that are not in existing books is homebrew.
As is pricing of said items, because it is an art as much as a science.
This thread is locked. Please use the original thread on this topic.
I removed a post. No pileons, please.
I removed a post. "1000!" isn't any better or clever than "First!"
I removed some posts. Don't be a jerk.
I removed a bunch of real-world politics from this thread.
I cleaned up some posts. Play nice.
I removed a popcorn post.
I removed some posts. The bickering needs to stop.
The official announcement is here.
A housecat is the archetypal 'tiny' creature.
A table from 3.5 defined tiny (roughly) as a creature between one and two feet tall if bipedal or one to two feet long is not.
I cleaned up some more posts. Can we please keep this on the original topic and not meander into semantics and yelling matches?
If you have a beef with another poster, either keep it civil or take it outside.
I guess the question is if he crafted a special ring of x-ray vision or if he reverse-engineered the x-ray vision spell and made an extract of it.
Either Kevin will tell us in due time, or it isn't actually relevant.
I suppose burning it into your eyeball is one way to wear a ring of X-Ray vision.
Makes it hard to take off when the Con drain adds up, though.
Sutter: I can now reply to email.
Sutter: And it's only 6pm!
Sutter: Whoo!
I removed another post. Chill.
I removed some posts and the replies to them. Civility, please.
I merged the threads on this topic.
The official announcement is here.
I removed a post and the replies to it.
Lets all be adults here.
I removed some posts. Do not use that word that way.
I'm also locking this thread. The original question has been answered and discussed, and the more times this goes in a circle the less likely it is to be useful for the next person who finds it when searching for the answer to their own problem.
Gary: This chair has killed seven people.
Gary: Next!

People come in to check it out, click a few things, and wander off. If you start with a reasonably complete coverage of tagged items then people are much more likely to use the system. *cough*
Hrmm. When Redcloak said he might of had to kill the hobgoblin spy himself, I assumed he wanted to keep the whole mess about the phylactery secret: that he wanted Xykon to keep looking as much as the resistance did. But that no longer seems to be the case. Any ideas?
I retitled this thread to avoid confusion with the actual voting booth.
How about those airline peanuts?
