"Plug your dojo/dojang/school" section?

[sirdarksol]

I kind of like the idea of a section where people can post their school, but I kind of think that there should be a bit different from what most forums have.

I'd like it if people were required to post a bit about the dojo and the style/styles that they learn there.
I'd also like it if there was a requirement that you have posted at least one other message prior to posting about the school (meaning no joining just to advertise for free).

i can make the posts in that section moderated.... but what do you mean

"I'd like it if people were required to post a bit about the dojo and the style/styles that they learn there."

we could not really force people to make a post in that section.... heck most people don't even introduce themself.

What I meant was, if you're going to post, don't just post
"This is the Northern States Bujinkan Dojo, and it rocks."
Rather, give some ideas of what is studied there, how it differs from similar arts/styles, and perhaps even areas it's lacking, so that people have a better idea of whether or not it's the dojo for them. Not that people are required to make the post in the first place, but if they are going to post, do so with a little more depth. This will, again, help us weed out people who are just posting for some free advertisement.

LOL that makes much more sense! i will make the section, but make it moderated so that every post has to be moderated by us before if shows up. i just need you to make me a rules for the section and i will make it. (i know how much you love to write.... until you get sick of me always depending on you to write for me )

I'll get right on it.

[disgruntled]

do we want to still keep this section?

Not quite as sure about this one... It's the kind of thing that seems best to be on its own, but on the flipside, it's not busy... I guess I'd say "get rid of it" for now.
