Based on some recent activity and some not so recent, this suggestion is just a
note that a thread move function would be useful. (it's believed to be
terrifically hard to implement moving posts on the current LUGNET
infrastructure)
The posted notices to take topics to another thread don't work very well, as
they aren't typically seen in time. Nor does asking people to delete and
repost... that just causes huge messes and doesn't work either unless you are
lucky and catch things at the very beginning of a thread that's off place.
Failing that, a way to go in and change the default FUT (that is, what the FUT
is set to in the post itself, which posters still can change) on posts already
made would be almost good enough. It wouldn't move posts but it would at least
catch followup posts and direct them to the right place, unless the poster
deliberately changed it (most misdirection is a result of just hitting post on a
post that's already been flagged as being in the wrong place)
(it's an interesting question, is it censorship or editorial control to force
discussion to take place in a certain place or places? I don't think it is)
