This is really just a question to The Next.

I'm working on a new website and something I'm doing got me thinking about the 'WIP' and 'Showcase' sections and how Keith is always having to fix/remove/beg for proper submissions and formats.



Not knowing anything about this forum, my question is....



Would it be possible with this forum structure to have users to fill a form which requires all the proper info for a proper submission and then have the back-end create the post in the proper format. I think it could save some MOD grief and standardize the posts in those sections.



Brian.

If my post seems rude or stupid, don't be offended. It's just a failed attempt at humor.

This is on the table as a suggested feature, the forum as it is right now cannot do what you suggest but I would really like to get to the stage where it can.



The tricky part is making a system like this work well over the many boards we have, and also be compatible with the old data (for example the 200,000+ messages on TGC).
