To me, the solution to that is member education. Stickies with reminders about not posting queries in Tips and Tricks, etc, don't seem to work.
I've been occasionally including a kind reminder in a post following a move. I have not done that on a regular basis, but I'm thinking that if it were done as a matter of policy, perhaps with a set spiel agreed to by Moderators/Phases, etc, it could be effective.
"Your thread has been moved from the Tips and Tricks area, where discovered tips and remedies, etc are to be posted to share with other users of the device, to the Support area, where questions belong." Something like that. 
What's being proposed, the options other than #1, seem to throw out the baby with the bath water, in my opinion. |
I think Frisco has nailed it - Member Education. They need to be taught to think before they post. So, in away, the prefixes along with leaving the structure would be a way to give them that education. Make them think before they hit the post button. I'm sure it will cut down on the number of moves that have to be made.
And I just gotta ask - what the heck is 'Updates & Cupcakes'? Awful lot of threads getting moved out of there....
