He isn't saying that this question belongs in another forum. He's saying that it shouldn't have to be asked at all. Writing about someone else's plot defeats the purpose of writing at all. Writing is about creating your own story, and straight up asking for an idea, with no basis to go on, shouldn't need to be done. If you're going to ask a question like that, at least provide some kind of general idea you want to write about. That is when others can offer inspiration.
Simply posting "I need an idea." not only eliminates a great deal of the creative process of writing, but also makes it far too general for anyone who would be willing to help. Other writers aren't there for ideas, they're there for suggestions, inspiration, and advice.
