Topics in Miscellaneous that could go somewhere else
Miscellaneous is by far the most popular forum. For this reason, many people post topics there that could fit somewhere else to get more views.
So, my questions:
Is is wrong to post topics in Miscellaneous that you know could go somewhere else?
Should topics that could go elsewhere be reported so they can be moved?

It can be - if a person has a lot of forum experience, and seem to have posted there just to get views. However, a person with few posts (people who joined before the New Scratcher tag, but don't have much experience) might not know where to post some topics. It's really a matter of judgement.

Most certainly. If you think that a topic should be moved/closed/opened/watched by a moderator (the last one is particularly handy if the topic might cause argments or something) or if you generally think it requires a mod/admin's attention, reporting is the best way to go. We look over the reports regularly, and respond to them if we think they need looking into by a mod/admin.

Sometimes, yes people will put things in msc. to get more views... I just kinda ignore it. That works great.
