I have the same problem on PAFAA where people will post stuff up under the wrong thread.
On some threads I have clearly put up along the lines of "This is not a thread for discussion or question but to give and/or read advice" - for instance but people will still post up their opinions! This is after the thread is supposed to be "closed" so the member's post cannot be seen by non-admin. But still they do it!
I have to do that otherwise some important info can get lost under conversations - then others come on board and ask for advice on the issues that have been buried. Using stickies doesn't work as soon these become one long list and many people don't bother looking for answers before asking advice. Which means that I have to answer the same questions time after time.
Also I find that some people will post the same message on several threads - that sometimes happens on yours as well, although not to the same extent.
I am having a re-think on how to change the threads on PAFAA to make them easier to understand.
