As far as I Understand it the 50+ forum is a general forum that is not meant to be subject-oriented:

" Forum: Fifty Plus (50+)
Share the victories, challenges, successes and special concerns of bicyclists 50 and older. Especially useful for those entering or reentering bicycling."

That covers a huge range of topics including wheat in diet.

Its distinctiveness comes from the age category of the contributors, not from a particular topic. So sometimes a topic could possibly be posted elsewhere - so what - why bother when the poster is obviously interested in the views of other 50+ members.

Threads should only be moved IMO if they blatantly disregard the rules or are objected to by a large number of people.

As far as moderation is concerned "less is more".
