Why not a trash section?

Instead of keeping all these locked posts in their sections, just send them to an unpostable trash area where n00bs can look and see what NOT to do?

They don't look at them where they are. What makes you think they'd look at them somewhere else?

at all the forums I've worked at (Albino Blacksheep, Talk Troll Up In Hurr) It has worked.

We have almost as many active users at any given time as you do registered users. It makes things work differently.

We have a trash section. You just can't see it.

We use it to stick other things in there, like spamming or massive trolling. I personally wouldn't want newbies to see that.

And if a thread is locked with the message "This is in the wrong forum" and then is moved there, how do they know which forum was the wrong one?

There's not enough reason to make it visible, and even less of a reason to make a second, visible Recycle Bin.
