I'll be perfecrly honest: I don't find enforcing a black & white thread relevance policy to be very fruitful friendly, or necessary. I'm pretty active in the Sigil forum (no surprise there), and I keep a pretty watchful eye on things. I merge, I move, I moderate threads there quite regularly. If I don't move a thread that was reported as being in the "wrong" forum, it's because I do recognize an overlap between epub and sigil that I don't always feel compelled to act on. If a post is clearly in the "wrong" forum, then I move it. It's not like the Sigil subforum is a hotbed of activity where "relevant" threads are fighting for space. If a member is receiving good advice on things that CAN be done with Sigil, I'm not likely to disrupt the conversation by relocating it.
Other moderators are free to use their own conscience with regard to relevance, but I'm not going to move every thread that one (non-OP) member thinks should be moved. If multiple members were complaining about a thread, that would, of course, be different story.
My advice to you, Jon, would be to not worry about it so much. There's plenty of staff oversight going in the Sigil subforum. They're just not always going to act on your reports.
