This question: http://superuser.com/questions/596703/transfer-amazon-s3-data-to-mysql-database, was closed as Not Constructive. Before it was closed, I thought it might've made a good fit for dba.stackexchange.com, so I [asked in The Heap][1] and a moderator confirmed. I flagged the question for <strike>migration</strike> (I think I might have hit mod attention?), which was declined:

How could I have gone about getting a question like this migrated?

I realize odds are that if a question is not constructive on one site, it's probably not on another, but this isn't _strictly_ true. Aside from Programmers being the obvious exception, there are questions that are on topic for Server Fault and not constructive, but work for Sec.SE. [How does SSL work?](http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/20803/how-does-ssl-work) for example. And while it might not be the best practice, smaller SE sites tend to be a little less aggressive about `Not Constructive` than SU, SF, SO.
