Laziness!
The FAQ Discussions forum is not the place for general questions; it is a forum for suggesting particular topics for the FAQ forum.
I propose that the FAQ Discussions and FAQ fora be locked for a period - maybe a month - so that this point can be driven home.

I would prefer to see entries 1) Moved to the correct forum for the first offense for a poster then 2) deleted and the poster locked for a month (or a week for a signed up member). 1) can be skipped.
This will drive home the message more than locking a forum that people might want to post correctly into.

What Ray missed today was a new poster going thru and replying to 8 month old topics. It made it appear that posters were posting again in the FAQ forum, but it was replies to posts.

Can there be an option to track the user history.
If the user entered in the wrong forum, keep a track of it.
If he does the same mistake again minus 10 points or something like that
Not to be vicious.
This type of an auditing can be extended later to keep track of defaulters!

Finding answers is simple, all you need to do is come up with the correct questions.

It's unfortunate that new members never realize that they're in the wrong forum, or don't care. They post a few messages, then go away and become lurkers. There's no punishment suitable...

Very few have access to post directly in FAQ forum.
The point is, the refined post in FAQ Discussion will be moved in FAQ forum. So why can't the rest can be simply ignored .
Impossible doesn't mean 'it is not possible' actually means... 'NOBODY HAS DONE IT SO FAR'
I kind of agree with Kim. Just by looking at the post count we can tell weather the person is new or fairly old here at dsxchange. Depending upon that we can either politely direct the poster to the right forum or do not answer his post at all. This will force the slackers to take these rules seriously
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

Just. Lock. It.
Is there a dang FAQ 'discussion' anywhere in there?
Or perhaps move them down near the bottom as balajisr notes. Then put a new forum at the top called something like The Questions You Can't Bother to Put in the Right Place Forum. Much like a staging table, no actual work would be done there, nothing answered until the Mod' moves it to the proper 'fora'.
