NO. NO. More than once I've posted comments *begging* people to close as OT and not migrate to super user. I firmly believe in "Don't migrate crap" and I think my past actions really show that **![Bart De Vos](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/b222843eb023b7d5108cb293983aad60?s=16&d=identicon&r=PG) [Bart De Vos](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/9964/bart-de-vos) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3018416#3018416):** No, it's not our dumping ground. Most of the time when it's crap, it gets closed. Not migrated **![pauska](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/736558f18dfae17d79cf0479cac2838f?s=16&d=identicon&r=PG) [pauska](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/1949/pauska) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3018417#3018417):** No, we're SO's sewer.. I never migrate crap, ever.. and I get the feeling that our user's are quite picky on that **![Chris S](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/71838b1ccd71421a3fc3db6612ba83c1?s=16&d=identicon&r=PG) [Chris S](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/1506/chris-s) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3018426#3018426):** I don't think any site migrates crap like SO. **![freiheit](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/0e68b82b2d7a20eba36c9fbe4350dd0d?s=16&d=identicon&r=PG) [freiheit](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/45/freiheit) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3018462#3018462):** No! **Don't migrate crap.** Only good questions that are on-topic for a destination should be migrated. **![voretaq7](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/03b75a71937ed56b4d9c3d244f776d05?s=16&d=identicon&r=PG) [voretaq7](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/5477/voretaq7) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3018482#3018482):** Yes. And it shouldn't be. I'm not a fan of dumping everything on SU. Sometimes there are better fits (U&L) and sometimes the question is ***crap*** and should be closed OT, but it's accumulated too many votes and winds up on SU. As a mod I'd be more inclined to mod-hammer things OT if I think moving them to SU would be "dumping". **![MDMarra](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/e6742a4db416a14e4b0201e0ee2f2506?s=16&d=identicon&r=PG) [MDMarra](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/7326/mdmarra) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3018493#3018493):** No, it's not. In fact, I'm 10k (though inactive) on SU, so I know how frustrating it is to have crap dumped there. Just like any other site, SU should be respected and crap should be outright closed here. We need to respect their FAQ, just like we want SO to respect ours. **![Iain](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/5ed89f9c3282d40e51e5573a30a8fe97?s=16&d=identicon&r=PG) [Iain](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/1533/iain) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3018623#3018623):** No, definitely not.
