I posted this[^] almost a month ago but I think it got lost in the shuffle.

It seems that more and more people are cross-posting, double-posting, or posting to the wrong forum. The message thread here[^] brings up a good point about off-topic posts (posts that don't belong in that forum), and the one here[^] supports part of this request.

It would be great if certain members (perhaps CP MVPs), had the ability to move posts from one forum to another or otherwise perform some basic maintenance/moderation on posts. This would cut down on the amount of noise in the forums.

I propose the following categories/actions (top-level posts only):
Off-Topic: The post is off-topic to the forum (and only the forum). I don't think this should apply to off-topic responses of an on-topic post, perhaps another message type would be appropriate for those?

Duplicate: The post is a duplicate of another message in the same forum. When marking a post as a duplicate, a link to the original/other post should (must?) be provided.

Cross-Post: The post is a duplicate of another message in a different forum. When marking a post as a cross-post, a link to the original/other post should (must?) be provided.
I do think there is a difference between an "off-topic" post and one that is just posted in the wrong forum. For those that are just in the wrong forum, we should be able to move them to the right one.

In all cases, the post subject should be pre-pended with the appropriate designation and the post should be effectively hiden unless a filter was specifically set to show them. Of course, when a post is moved or otherwise categorized a reason should (must?) be provided and an email sent to the original poster. This would move/categorize the post and all responses to that post.
