For The Good of the Website

[Grandad]

This is a great website. I'm sure it didn't get that way without years of hard work and diligence by moderators and administrators. Perhaps members could help by proposing constructive changes based on their experiences using the website.

Since joining about 6 months ago, I have considered making some suggestions:
1. Creation of a sub forum category such as "For the Good of the Website" to which suggestions could be posted.
2. Within the sub forum, there should be a "sticky" outlining the purpose & rules of the forum.
3. There could also be a sticky that lists the names and contact information for the moderators of all the forums. Instead, perhaps this info could be added at the top of each of the existing forums. I note that individuals are often already identified as "Moderator" but this appears in signatures and avitars whenever these folks post in many different forums so no-one knows exactly what they moderate.

I have other suggestions, but let's see what other members think of this concept first. - Grandad

While you are reviewing our rules, I suggest particular attention to:

Thanks for your interest. We welcome your suggestions, but not in the forum.
