Another idea for making a graphics request forum more rewarding to graphic designers (and to possibly help them get paid graphics gigs), would be to create a simple system, where the designer who fills the request can submit the finished work at the end of the thread, and the original requester has an option to select them as the person who completed the job, then in the designer's profile, have a section similar to the hacks section, where it lists all the design gigs the person has completed, with links to the threads and the finished graphic. If someone is looking to hire a designer, it would give credibility to the designer. This would also motivate the designer to fulfill requests, since there is a "formal" system, along with the benefit of a 'portfolio'.

Hopefully I explained myself right :)

Sounds like a good idea to me shelly, but I guess that would require moderation. For example, I could create dummy accounts each week, and post requests for little graphics I've done over time. Then just fill them myself, to get my stats up :)

Have a minimum post count of 50 to post in the request graphics forum.

Should that have been directed at Analogpoint Dean? because I don't mind taking credit for an idea I never put on the table. Sounds like a good idea Analogpoint (though It doesn't benefit me because my online work is free) but I can see the benefits for designers who want to extend their portfolio and the hope of gaining paid work from the graphic requests area.

I would put in some kind of restriction, but wouldn't that then complicate the graphic requests area? Maybe a post count limit would get around but I doubt that a post count limit would be accommodated.
