Default Idea for Friday Updates

I had an idea for Friday updates.

Maybe the replies that people can post in the topic should be limited to questions? Sometimes, if you're out for the day, it can take a while to read every-post; especially when a lot of them just say 'great' (which is by no means wrong)
I understand that this is probably a bit too restrictive, so maybe a seperate topic should be opened specifically for questions about the update...or would this be a bit too awkward?
I'd be interested to hear some thoughts

You may have something there. A separate thread with questions only is a good idea.

Yes, I think so too. I've been thinking about it more, and it could quite easily work. If a user wished to question a poster's idea (maybe if it's already included in SoW or if it isn't accurate) they could do so, but so long as they don't start saying that the person is being overly critical; that is Oleg's place to decide I think.
If this can't work, then you could always quote the person's question in the other discussion thread to keep the questions one clean. I may sound as though I'm over-complicating things, but I do think this can work.

If I understand you correctly you want the replies to Oleg's news to be only questions?(In the same thread)

And how exactly technically are you gonna limit the topic comments to questions? By moderators..? trust by the forum users..? because you can't do it by code(parse if its a question or not).
But having the updates thread locked for only maddox is one alternative and then have a separate topic for discussion, still agree with your overall philosophy though, good idea.

There are complications. It's sad to think that it's too much to ask for the forum to follow a certain etiquette...
But, yes, moderators could work if Nearmiss thinks he's up to it

Some guys ll ask all the questions possible hehehe... Better if allowed one post per user. Then you need to think before post and ask all you want in a single post.

Yes, I may be one of those people...
That is an idea, but I don't know how it could work...

Maybe it works the other way around: We make up a thread with questions now, Oleg can pick out 5 questions or so per update he wants to answer.

This way he doesn't need to answer all the questions in the thread immediately, but can think about what he likes to answer and how. At the same time, we can read the questions and answers and if we have new questions, we post them for either the next update or Oleg can pick some of the new questions.

Or, similarly, he combines similar questions together. This way, his answer may not cover each question specifically, but still gives a broad-answer.

It's all food for thought.

I really don't think that Oleg has the time to monitor both threads...there are but one or two people here that cluter up the Friday up-date thread with multiple posts, I think that they should practice a little self control, there by reducing the whining and post count. If you and another are in disagreement on a issue, then pm is the best recourse.
