Well, yeah. I mean I moved it to Discussion once, it was deliberately moved back to Main, I moved it to Discussion again, then it was moved back to Main again, so I hit 'Ban'. Er, duh?

It seems it may have been accidental, rather than deliberate. If so that would seem to be a simple bug in the lesswrong source. ie. Almost certainly 1 line of code in the part that selects which option starts selected on the edit page.

And so I put it back in Discussion, of course.

That wouldn't have helped, since I'd probably already loaded the page before it was moved back to discussion.

Something that detects edit conflicts, as on Wikipedia?
