Wisdom of Out of Forum topic posting

I question the ability to post in a forum without actually going to that forum.

Doesn't that increase the potential for duplicate topics?

Shouldn't there be a small onus on the poster to do at least a first page check before making a new topic?

Maybe the benefits outweigh the risks?

It's convenience Vs administration and I think from your side, yes, it is more of a hassle.  However if I weight it against the flexibility of the user I actually think it works out in their favor.  I also think that a lot of the duplicate threads had to do with the permissions issue we ran into last week.  If it keeps up, I'll look into locking things down a bit.
