You could report them to be moved to help & support (and vice versa)... I know I always try do that (only after I'm certain of something though).
Anyways, imo, those two subforums should not be merged. It is not because people get lazy or people don't know exactly where to post it (eg: because as far as they know it is a bug) that those subforums are useless and/or should be merged. It means regulars should try and make more care about reporting posts for movement, cleanage, prunage, etc etc. It is the regulars which need to report such threads in order to keep the forums clean and organized (mods can't read everything). If we all do this a bit from time to time, the forums will get more organized in (no) time...
Not merging those two forums and keeping it tidy as much as possible also helps Patchou a great deal into keeping track of real bugs for example. eg: if he is on a bug finding frenzy he could first check the bug subforum to quickly find newly reported bugs and then go to a more time consuming search in the help & support and other subforums for threads which might contain a bug report.
As for stickies, yes I agree that sometimes a post is stickyfied too quickly...
imho
