I'm going to crosspost from a DTRM thread and quote sovsull here:
a. allow ask/tell topics on livewire and just moderate them b. create an ask/tell board with rules and a single megathread for responses unworthy of individual threads
I'm personally for the latter option, since it means less work for the mods (we'd just need 2 or 3 mods in the new a/t forum) but either solution works for me.
Oh, and the idea was put forth by Rastafarian to make a group for this sort of thing, but it just wouldn't work; - A general "A/T" group would get very cluttered, very fast, and pretty much no questions would be answered. - Group whiteboards clear the older posts, so all questions and responses would only benefit those reading them then, unlike a thread, which could be viewed by a person with the same question later.
