Hello William,

Yes that correct. We as moderators would have to copy edit the material. There could be one thread that the moderator edits. That would be the master list and other threads or posts that users submit. All you have to do is collect each post when they come in and organize them on the master list. The master list is what users will look at as a reference, and not the unedited posts.

One thing that a seconday SE forum does for this is that it gives the effort more visibility on the main forum page and on the weekly forum newsletter. The new forum could be listed just below the main SE forum and have a separate section in the newsletter. You could make the master list "sticky" so that it's always on the top of the list.

There could be other ways but then it's gets into just being another version of www.3DCADTips.com and the whole idea of that site is to have only one master directory. The master list would be monitored by a technician and each site would be reviewed and submitted to 3DCADTips.com.

Comments are welcome here. How does everyone else feel about this concept?

Thanks
