- Greater than one thread could be posted in a sub-forum. I do not believe there is a technology solution to preventing additional threads from being posted without allowing full access to a lounge thread.
As I said, I am not opposed to the idea. I just want to do what is best and satisfy as many FlyerTalk members as possible.
Thank you.
Thank you for being open to the idea, especially as a mod whose forum it woud affect.
We need to investigate #1.
#2 I think can be handled easily. If a subforum is approved, it can be made clear by the mod that the only thread in the forum allowed is the lounge thread. After all, the sub-forum would be called (fill in the blank forum) lounge thread sub-forum.
If that doesn't work, last I heard mods have the ability to move threads to either their own or other forums
, so if someone decides to post a thread that isn't a lounge thread it can be easily moved.
Cheers.
