"Suggest for Blog" button possible?

[Count Duckula]

I don't know if this is even remotely possible, or if the powers that be want the masses deciding matters such as what goes on the blog, but I can't help but feel there's some wonderful threads that get looked over.

I understand that the blog may be more consistent if it's just certain posters each time, and there's probably an element of people being particularly eloquent at the moment in order to try and get on it, but I think it might work.

It could, for example, mirror the "reputation" function on other forums, where an OP can be "repped" for a particularly good post. Enough "reps" would bring it to the attention of the admins. I suppose the downside is that if it's good enough it'll come to the attentions of the admins anyway.

I only say this because I was reading Feed Me's thread on rotation earlier (https://www.redcafe.net/f6/lack-settled-team-proving-detrimental-264430/), and I thought it was very, very good. It certainly wouldn't look out of place on the main page.

If you come across a post that you think is worth having in the blog, by all means PM me Count Duckula (or anyone else). That's what happened with Domzi's post last week.

I haven't had a chance to spend any time on the blog the last week or so, but do hope to do so very soon. So any recommendations from members is welcome.

Automating is more difficult and I'm not sure if it's worth it.

How does it work for writing something for it, other than a thread recommended by PM? Is it invite only?

 

[Niall]

If you're interested in contributing, just ask...

Ok well I'll have a crack at writing something over the weekend, and if you think it's good enough you can put it up

Cheers Brad!

Brad, may i suggest a piece on how Fletcher should now be our number 1 pick for midfield?

 

[B Cantona]

Consider it so

Ok Niall I've wrote a Darren Fletcher article, but it's way too big to be sent by PM, what do you want me to do? Just start a thread with it?
