Why does a topic "Closed" by an employee / moderator show as being "Started" by them?

This is as illogical as going to "Start" in Windows to "Shut down"!

Can someone please get the vendor (or whoever makes "Community" program changes) to alter this confusing wording?

    @Paul W The reason it says "started by" is that the system sees the person who moved it as having started the discussion in the area it was moved to. But, it is certainly confusing. To get your request that it be fixed, you should click Ideas on the left panel. From the Ideas page, on the left, click FamilySearch Community. That is the place to request changes to how things work. This Q and A section is for getting help using things as they currently exist.

    Sorry, but you appear to have misunderstood the issue. C Lethaby has not initiated ("started") any of these "discussions". Even you have assumed she did, so I believe this reinforces my point about the confusing "Started by" wording that is appearing when the moderator has sometimes not even participated in the discussion..
