Forgive me if it sounds like I'm trolling here:

Given the differences between FFXI/FFXIV and many of the other games in the genre, I'm certain that there is a sizeable pool of friendly people with OCD willing to take on thread-sorting on a volunteer basis. I complained about this very issue in the Website Feedback forum, and less than two weeks later, my topic was off the first page because of all the misplaced topics and banal requests for implementing various things from FF7 into the game.

The GMs already have plenty to do, tasking them with BB-management duties as well seems to be just piling it on. SE needs to either hire more people to the community team, or they need to start recruiting some unpaid volunteers.

Hmmmm....volunteeers! I could rule this forum if i had access to admin tools! However, i doubt i can anymore because i got a post removed already...

Perhaps more of a voting system. Akin to the 'like' button, but used instead as a way to vote on what category something is best under. After a certain threshold the topic is moved to a category automatically.
Could also do this for reposts. Enough 'this is a repost' votes and that post gets appended (For this to work you'd need a way to 'point' at the original. Probably also require the original have an older posting date). Would help cut down on all the repeated cruft in heavy traffic boards while needing only the time spent implementing this feature and community participation.
