I think it may be beneficial to determine a set of terms/guidelines for cleaning up threads, maybe some example as

Off topic- not just slightly derivative but completely out of left field, juvenile, pointless, or just plain bad taste. This covers most of the things I have seen that I would like to fix myself.

Redundant- An example for me are the "Taking Sides", "Which race will you be" in the online forums. One topic, or two topics would be fine however there seems to be a new one every day, which pushes interesting articles farther down the page and eventually into oblivion.

Our goal should not be to censor or police, but to foster a friendly community that not only edifies one another but also the material we have come here to discuss.
