Have you considered the possibility that the folks on VS forum might (just might!) welcome and enjoy the opportunity for collaborative input if it was provided? You seem very confident, but how can you know what is in their minds?
And if the thread is of no use to the posters there then it will quietly fade off the front page an into oblivion. Nothing lost for the effort or opportunity.
And even if so, how about one day when you are no longer the benevolent moderator of VS. Perhaps then such a thread would have more utility and it will be there for the posters then.
Again, I see no down-side to offering posters this opportunity in each forum over a 'one-size-does-not-fit-all' complaint.
Only up-side in terms of consistency and opportunity as the posters will make the thread fit however they see fit (even if that means ignoring it!)
