I see your two cents, and will call.
I believe that if someone posts a specific question about Halo: Reach (for example) in the wrong forum, that a user should be allowed to reply with something along the lines of this:
Hey there, this forum is intended for Community discussion and your question best fits in the Halo: Reach Forum.
However, if the user knew the answer to the question, I believe that he/she should add it after what I described above.
It all boils down to this: I believe that directing someone to the right place, wherein they would have their question answered, is the right thing to do. Simply saying, "wrong forum" is wrong and should be punished as it is spam, mean, and doesn't help at all.
As I am tired, I feel like using some pretty stupid comparisons, so here goes:
If I walk into a bookstore and, in a thick foreign accent, ask an employee there if they have any frozen pizzas, I would probably be told that I want a grocery store instead and that the bookstore does not, in fact, sell frozen pizzas.
Something to mention, if it has not been already, is that "incorrect forum copping" is most certainly against the rules...whether it be a typo or not (they should be able to read minds...that would solve a lot of problems).
