So people don't make the same mistake by posting a similar thread in the previous section.

that doesn't make any sense
If I go to the general discussion section and see a locked thread with the only reply being a link to a thread with the similar content, I obviously know not to make another thread about the same thing.
While, if you move it to bean rua, no one sees it.
I'm not complaining it just doesn't make sense to me.
(Also because we're so nosy you're probably more likely to look in a thread that is locked than one that isn't, ever seen a locked thread with like a bajillion views? Yeah..)

Generally, if a thread gets locked and moved to Bean Rua while not being unlocked, then it usually means the thread in no way was on topic, and outside of making a new thread, there really isn't a way to salvage the thread to the point where the thread can have any value within the community, but it's not nasty enough to warrant being shoved into the test section that Chise has in the staff section to try out new features on the site. Usually.

What Arsik said, and that it takes away the additions to post count and gold received.
