Board Thread:Consensus Track/@comment-16047389-20140708144001

This is an issue that I've seen happening for quite some time now: someone posts a thread in a completely unrelated board. Here's an example, today I went onto the Online board and saw two threads recently opened about some rather basic questions relating to the Skyrim. The questions always seem to be written by first time posters, or users that created their accounts within the same month.

I didn't think it needed to be mentioned before, as it didn't seem that big of a deal at the time. But, this problem hasn't gone away over time. Sometimes the questions are so menial that it seems difficult to believe that they are legitimate questions. But whether or not they are is not for me to judge. The majority of the problem seems to occur with questions related to Skyrim being posted in the Online board. The problem that this creates is that while the Skyrim board stays active enough to ensure that the most basic questions are answered and promptly moved to the bottom of the list (i.e. as of writing this, every thread in the Skyrim board has been posted to today), whereas the Online board is not nearly as active, allowing these kind of threads to remain on the front page of the board for long periods of time (at least half the threads have gone weeks without activity).

Perhaps this isn't a major issue, but to someone like me it is frustrating to flip to the Online board and seeing someone asking where they need to go to to find a certain Shout, or something like that. So my question is, is this something that any user, not just mods, could and infact should move to the appropriate thread? Or are these issues so minor that they shouldn't be handled unless the thread itself is a potentially more active one? Not a voting issue, I'd just like some feedback on how, as a community, this should be handled.
