This isn't a frequent issue, but once or twice I've noticed users who's threads have been locked, or who otherwise didn't get the type of response they were looking for on bogleheads, simply repost the topic on our forums.
Do we have any rules regarding this type of behavior? Is it best just to ignore, or attempt some sort of reasoned response?

Re: post migration from bogleheads
Short answer, as long as posters adhere to our forum policies, they are welcome to post on FWF.
There are a number of members who hang out on both forums and generally attempts are made to direct posters to the country-specific forums as the situation warrants (i.e., tax implications, investment vehicles, etc.).
The fact that a topic may have been locked on the BH forum is related to their forum posting rules, which are up to their moderators to enforce.

Mods are intense on Bogleheads, they seem to lock threads quite often and they consider a lot of posting as off-topic really quickly.
I would not judge someone to ask again here...

Perhaps - who would have figured us canucks would be a little more relaxed than our counterparts to the southcashinstinct wrote:Mods are intense on Bogleheads, they seem to lock threads quite often and they consider a lot of posting as off-topic really quickly.

That said, the few times I've seen it happen (and I stress that it's not a common occurrence), the quality of the posts has been quite low. That's not to say said individuals don't deserve some guidance, but where it does happen they seem to have a tendency to bicker when they don't get the confirmation they were looking for.
I guess ultimately it's self policing and therefore doesn't require intervention from the moderators if our rules aren't being violated. I just wouldn't want a young/new investor to get seduced or distracted by a crappy post.
