Why so many people today (Nov 23) posted and still posting questions about computer science in math section? moderators should do something?

OpenStudy (darthsid):

Generally, people post unrelated questions to the Math group because it has the most people online. We don't want to discourage people from asking for help. We'd like the community to help guide them to the right group, and ask their question there, but we typically don't interfere in cases where the asker is genuinely looking for help. What you can do is to suggest a group to them to post to, and help them out if they ask it in that group.

here comes suggestion then, allow moderators to move questions to other groups and even better option would be if high level users could do it or if certain amount of people (maybe high levels too) voted to move question it would be moved automatically

also it could be done same as voting to remove question when it's totally inappropriate or repeated or insultable or etc.

OpenStudy (darthsid):

Yeah, we've been thinking about it, especially during the last iteration of the product. There are a few issues with it - most important is, what if the asker doesn't belong to the group that the question is moved to? We also need to implement notifications etc for a question to be moved. We are hoping, though, that with this change (one group visible at a time) the amount of unrelated questions in groups decreases. We'll keep this idea in mind.

I don't know maybe just automatically add him to that group, anyway question is related to that group
