I'll admit I haven't read the whole thread and I did not see it in the General Section, but I appreciate the way the OP discusses this subject and do understand the point.
As for myself, I simply move them when I see them, with no regard to views etc, so this means the thread may have just been created or it may have been there for weeks. Either way it's not in the right spot and to keep things organized it gets moved with a re-direct so you actually get exposure in two places. Others are reported, then moved and the ones that are so wrong like a Hellcat thread in General may get an official warning if the user has been around and should know. Also, warnings are given when we see that every single thread a person makes has to be moved. If we don't do that then we get to keep moving them.
Now let me toss this one back at the OP. After looking at your entire thread creation list you have started everything in Camaro General and only had 3 moved counting this thread. The rest have dropped out of sight and 90% of them still need to be moved and probably never will at this point. If everyone did this it would be a mess and no way we could keep up.
Bottom line is we need everyone's help to keep things in the proper category. The #1 complaint is the search function doesn't work well and threads in the wrong forum doesn't help.
Good discussion and I'll go back and re-read. My thought would be for a user to set an automatic move to the proper forum so it gets moved after a certain time period.
