I wouldn't have voted to close that question, I would have tried to edit it.   I don't mind a good beginner question at all.  A poorly asked question bugs me far worse then a question about basic networking.  Unfortunately it seems like a lot of poorly asked questions are migrated when they should have been either edited or closed, or marked as a duplicate.

I think we need to try and think of a way to encourage people to edit or close bad questions instead of just transferring them somewhere else where they don't really belong.

@sysadmin1138, I agree, but I would prefer a vote to close over a vote to move if there is any doubt about the question being appropriate for the destination site.  I am almost thinking that vote to move should cost 2-5 rep unless the person voting has more then 3k rep on the destination.  That way if you want to move something you either must have established yourself on the destination site and you will probably know what does belong there or you must accept that your move vote will cost you a bit of your rep.
