Could completed / actioned threads be removed to a sub board within the suggestions board?

I don't agree because some threads are mistakenly marked as completed when they're not. Some responders even mark their post as answered simply because they've answered a question but the thread is definitely not completed.

I think Joy is talking specifically about the Suggestions Board. It does have some merit but the big question is who decides if something is completed or otherwise?

If it is a suggestion for an enhancement which is subsequently implemented then fine, but what about all the other postings, comments, whinges etc - not so easy to determine, perhaps?

Yes, I am writing specifically about the suggestions board, and those specifically that have been locked, one example being:
