If there's been a 'spam spree' then most mods will remove the threads from public view. If a thread has been posted in the wrong board then it will be locked. If we just moved every topic to the right boards ourselves the users would never learn and in the long run would make a lot more work for the mods. When they realise that their wrongly placed topics get locked instead of being moved the learn from that and so post in the place next time. If the thread can't easily be placed or it's ambiguous then I would move it to the right board. If we removed all locked threads and pmed the users as to why, this would mean a lot more work for us. I really don't think locked threads is really a problem, well maybe in the general p2p board but the turn over in threads on there is very quick that you hardly notice.
