Posting in the wrong forum is slightly less sinister than committing murder Hobo.
As long as the person isn't being a complete jerk shouldn't they get a second chance? A lot of good members are here because someone once gave them a second chance.
Allow me to give an example of that in action.
My very first post on my very first day as a member of this site.
I posted something silly and (I thought) clever. Not long afterward, my PM box lit up. I opened it to find a single red eye glaring at me and the following text.

If you can't be helpful, consider not posting. Tricks like that not only frustrate the person with the problem, it also gets you in trouble with the moderators.
After I stopped shaking, I replied, apologized, and tried much harder to understand what it was to be a helpful member and endeavored to be a helpful member myself.
My first post, my first incoming PM, my error. I was given an opportunity to "do better". I'd like to think that I did.
I did the same exact thing, except i didnt get a PM, someone just replied and yelled at me. I was given a second chance and i do think everyone should be given a few chances but what if the locked or moved thread were deleted? Couldnt there be someway of doing that automatically?
