I suppose it could be vaguely beneficial, but I do not believe that traffic on this board in anyway warrants such divisions. If we had 40 or more threads being created a day, I could certainly see it. Since there are so few threads, though, it seems like a lot more clicking and cross-linking would be necessary.
Perhaps a better proposition would be the advent of thread subject indicators ("[purity]: Watch out stuff from Bob's Big Brain Blobs"; "[stack report]: OMG THIS STUFF MAKES ME MORE SMARTER"; "[general]: monkeys eating nootropics like their bananas more yellow, says CNN"). Even this, however, seems a trifle unnecessary.
I do believe a list of such indicators (or even radio options) at time of thread creation would be useful if such a program was implemented. People would be a lot more likely to follow such conventions if they were easily accessible.
Just some .02.
