it kinda tells you to chose a board when you are creating your discussion

if you were to click the create a discussion button from right here, it wouldn't let you choose a board, it would just lock it into Discuss the Boards

this is just a dumb useless idea to save someone an extra click or two of annoyance lol

If you create a discussion from a specific sub-board, it is locked to that sub-board. If you create one from Boards Home, you will be prompted to select a section!

ok , but the OP is asking why make it locked to that board ? why not let them chose a board like you do when you are boards home? that it would be a QOL change to the boards and most likely reduced the amount of people reporting wrong board selections and reduce work for you and fellow mods to delete or move them.

seems like a reasonable request

I'll ask around. My guess is that the list format that selects boards is locked to the highest board on the list currently, so this could actually result in MORE incorrect posts, but I'll check in with our tech guys and see whether or not this is something they want to explore.

Even if it defaults to the current board but lets you select something afterwards it would be helpful.
