Could the vb3 mod requests form have more moderation?

To come back to this topic, it's obviously better for people who ask to have another mod to officially answer stuff, but this wasn't what I had in mind.

I'd like the forum to do something like that do at experts-exchange which is to mark ALL threads in catergories of e.g. in development, made, duplicate question, poster abandoned question and so on.

As far as I'm concerned, any thread that has been answered or solved should no longer be in that forum. Often people ask 'how to I do so and so'?

This should go in the Modification Questions or General questions fora or get moved there. Any hack request that is fulfilled should have a release, even if it's only a minimod.

All that should be in that forum are questions newer than a couple of weeks that havn't been moderator reviewed. After which they get marked by moving to a sub forum or abandoned, major work needed, minor work needed, service requests, template or hack releases or others if needed.

I want to use the forum to see what mods people are keen on and I could contribute to, not answer how-to questions.

Still would like a better clean up rate in that forum.

If the answer's 'no', I'd like to hear it.

Everyone has to have a hobby, like bumping this thread.

your suggestions involved that you'd be volunteer for them... this is like asking to become a moderator, and i don't think any guy here had this opportunity simply by requesting some changes to be done on the forum...

Yeah, I know...

But what's the biggest reason that this won't happen? Because it will be seen as too much work for the mods to organise this.

'To much work' would be the reason why this won't be done. Something like this would require the staff to micro-manage this forum daily and is just going to confuse the end users more. It's up to the people involved with the request thread to organize development and ensure a release (if the request is fulfilled).

The request forums are not for 'how do i?' questions, if you see any threads like that report them and they will be delt with.

[Borgs8472]

Mostly requests get answered or ignored if they turn up in the wrong forum, not moved.

Why not get more people to sort through all these requests aye?

I believe Brad answered this question already...
