Is it impossible to move threads on NNTP? I guess not if the thread has
already spread around the world...

On the forum I use you always get a PM from a moderator to say that they
have modified your subject (automatically sent probably), and it includes
guidelines of how to write a useful subject line - ie do not write "Need a
function" in pov.general, but put "Nonlinear spherical-like function needed"
in pov.general.isosurfaces. It makes it much more pleasant for people
browsing the forums or search results (where only the subject line of each
thread is displayed).

Yes, that could work too. Or give them 48 hours to improve the subject text
else they get banned for a while :-D
