Before i do anything to the current forum, i thought i'd ask you all what do you think about these changes:
-Flushing the current request section
-Replacing it with two specific request sections;
1) Layout requests. For requests that are ready to be made as layouts, including schematics.
2) Schematic requests. Requests for schematics on circuits.
-Adding moderated "Contribution section" for everyone to share their layouts. Moderated, because we want certain standards to be followed on the contributions as well as on our own layouts.
First of all, flushing the current request section may sound a bit harsh.. But i do find it extremely hard to find a good request from the flood of schematic requests. These two are two completely different things.
I'm not 100% sure how to set up a moderated contribution section, but we could probably start with contributors emailing their layouts to us. If the layout is good, we will post it to the section. If it needs more work, we'll let you know.
We also should probably pay more attention to moderating the forum in terms of removing obsotele information and so on.
So? How does this make you feel?
