Along the same lines, a lot of anonymonk questions start out in Categorized Questions and Answers and us QandAEditors end up moving them to Seekers of Perl Wisdom.

For registered users (at least if they are new to the monastery), I /msg them when I do that (since, unfortunately, "auto-/msg for replies to your node" defaults to "off"), and approve the question after it has been moved. The second step is extra important if the author was anonymonk since you can't do the first step.

If anonymonk asks a Cat Q+A question that doesn't even belong in SoPW, I "answer" the question stating why the question is unlikely to get a good answer (way too vague, duplicate, etc.) and stating that the question will be deleted.

Anyway, I offer those as suggestions that other QandAEditors may wish to follow and to invite comments or suggestions (of course).
