This is a great addition to the community. It's better than your typical
moderation, which kills the discussion entirely. Hopefully people will have an
easier time ignoring discussions they don't want to see, because they will be
moved to the appropriate newsgroup.
As long as this feature isn't abused (e.g. moving discussions into the
equivalent of a /dev/null newsgroup), I don't see any problems with this
approach.
