It's a tricky one. Ids are not the concerns of the model section, but model threads that are unfindable only really serve for the OP (and people who stumble upon them by chance) to put some material together, and once they lose interest the threads drift down the list into oblivion, slowly but surely.

On the other hand, if you move these to MIR then collecting material for a model is regarded as "bumping the thread", when all what the OP really wants is to have a place to collect material for the model, and ideally attract contributions from others; the name is of secondary concern.

Perhaps one could single out a new subsection in the model areas, specifically dedicated for "anonymous" or "unsafely named" models?
