I propose territory owners have the option to move any thread in their territory they don't think belongs into a new territory called 'miscellaneous' or 'other' or something similar. Revenue from that territory could go to Stacker.News

Back in the day meta did serve as a miscellaneous category. I'm not sure owners would have the incentive to give up revenue, even if the post was placed inappropriately

Good point. If it gave revenue to stacker that would be something, but you are right. Maybe the revenue already generated stays, but the territory owner has to pay the 'miscellaneous' fee to send it?

I like the idea, but I think you'd have to refund their post fee.

Why would meta not be misc?

It's not what the word means. Traditionally used to denote content that relates to the site on which it resides.
i.e. 'meta' would mean content about Stacker.News -- posts about Stacker.News show on YT, suggestions for the site, announcements of new features, announcements about rewards, stuff like that. If you look, that's about half of the content in ~meta - showing that many know and understand the traditional definition.

Thanks. I was working from a higher-level, all-encompassing perspective, but you're right. It is high-level, all encompassing, but on a subject area, not everything.

Meta will be a defacto place to post all the stuff that fits in more than one territory since we don't have cross posting yet and a place to post when you don't want to pay the high territory posting fees some territories are currently featuring.
I had two different posts recently where I was going to post them in a specific territory but the posting fee was 1000 sats whereas I could just post them in Meta for 210 sats so it was a no brainer to just post in Meta. I want to support territories but it's not a charity. I am not going to pay 1000 sats fee for a post that might not get 1000 sats in zaps.

I can see how that is needed, I agree. My preference I guess would be that 'meta' means what it traditionally means - posts about the site itself, and that some territory were created for the purposes you describe (misc mebbe).

I think a misc territory could be useful but to your point most people use meta for misc so not sure how popular another territory would be.

Always has been 👨🚀🔫👨🚀 meme.
Meta is where ~Stacker_Sports grew from and ~Music via the "Meta Music Mondays".
Meta, has a real SN history to it.

Ah, I see, I'm ignorant of that. Thanks!

SNs grown loads and rapidly. The music territory before it existed was just one post a week on a Monday, in a meta takeover. Stacker sports did theirs daily. It was (in my mind) GRs consistency with the daily stacker sports meta take overs that paved the way for territories. Which are still kinda figuring themselves out, but once the dust settles I think they will show to have value.

meta for me is you can post anything there other than Bitcoin. 😂

I bet you're right. I like your recent post (and glad I saw it). I'm not sure that isn't what is intended by the devs.
OTOH, I would like to be able to look at just posts about stacker.news itself sometimes.

I've suggested in the past that territory owners should be able to "expel" posts from their territory if they don't think they belong. The post would be hidden and the OP would be notified. In that post, the OP would have the option to:
- Leave the post hidden
- Delete the post
- Edit the post to make it fit the territory
- Appeal the decision of the territory owner
- Change post territory

Great ideas here too. I like the options.

I wonder if making the Territory Details box visible on the "post" page might help deter some mis-sent posts (in Meta and in some other territories).

That's a great idea. It could display on 'recent' and 'top' views within the territory as well. I think it should be more prominent. I hear there are some UI changes on the way.
