Why don't they move the question instead of just closing it?

  You've got very limited options when moderating SO unfortunately. When you want to mark the post as belonging to other SE site, the only options are: - meta.stackoverflow.com - superuser.com - tex.stackexchange.com - dba.stackexchange.com - sharepoint.stackexchange.com Which is an... interesting set of choices. I'm not sure why you can't suggest others. I'd really like to migrate to programmers.SE. Otherwise the only option is to actually close as off-topic.

    THe list of choices you can vote to move to is based on where questions are migrated most of the time. Moderators can still move the question wherever they want, just flag for attention and give a custom message to that effect.

      Is that the ability of the diamond-by-the-nick mods only? http://stackoverflow.com/help/privileges?tab=all http://stackoverflow.com/help/privileges?tab=all doesn't list it explicitly and it's definitely not a part of "access to moderator tools".

        Correct. Site (diamond) moderators can move a question to any stackexchange site of their choice. Source: I'm a moderator for http://android.stackexchange.com http://android.stackexchange.com
