Give chips for recategorizing wrong postings
When a question is posted to the wrong category, it can be half an hour to an hour (at idle times, even several hours) before someone issues a recategorize request.
I think this is partially because there's no motivation to recategorize items. No reward, no motivation.
I suggest giving a few chips to an expert who posts a recategorize request. Two or three seems about right - not enough to motivate incorrect requests, but enough to make it worth the 60 seconds it takes to make the request.

I agree. Also, in the "Report" drop-down menu provide an option for referral to the proper subject/category. Either allow us to do direct referrals to other experts, or have Moderators do them immediately. We can't even access experts in a certain field unless they are "new" or currently online. Sometimes it would be better to refer even if not online if that is only option.
