Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Create two forums ('Maths', 'General chit chat') in a course
- As student1, subscribe to the posts in 'Maths' but not 'General chit chat'
- As student2, post about a joke in the Maths forum
- As teacher1 move the post from 'Maths' to 'General chit chat' before the end of the editing window (as its offtopic for the study forum)
Expected result:
- Student2 doesn't receive copies of student1's forum post which is offtopic
Actual result:
- Student2 receives copies of the off-topic post
Further discussion:
Moving the subscriptions before the editing window is over (and thus, posts have gone out) is really confusing to the user, because they will get notifications about forum posts in a forum they are not subscribed to without any indication of why it happened. But even after the editing window is over - a frequent reason for forum post moves will be done as a moderating action to prevent offtopic discussions from carrying out in the wrong forum. I do not think it makes sense to retain 'forum' subscribers (rather than thread subscribers) in many scenarios
