Part of the problem is that we 'mere mortal' moderators can only move a thread out of our assigned parts of the forum. For instance, if I see a thread in the Open Discussion area that should have been posted in the Tech Talk or Gear sections, there's nothing I can do about it. (That's why we have Super Moderators).
If something gets posted in the Tech Talk or Gear sections that should go somewhere else, I move it pronto, but that rarely happens. Peeps seem to pick on the Open Discussion section because they think it will be seen by more people.
