What do you wish played a bigger role in the forums at Microstockgroup?
Interview of microstock VIP (sites owners, best photographers...) with some rules:- we prepare questions list (every MSG member can participate)- questions should be precise and professional- if VIP accept to participate he should honestly and clearly respond. If something is not clear we can ask for more details.- then members can vote for VIP (relevance, usefulness...)
I seclected "other"I would love to have input from proven buyers/designers on this forum. Only from Verified buyers!Now we could have some useable information from their point of view.-Larry
A directory of common questions might be useful... "how do I upsize for Alamy?" etc. Would that be a tutorial, a wiki?
One more "Other"I wish every member was required to have at least one link to a site they have a port on, so we could tell who is full of crap and just ruining their mouth off and which ones know what they are talking about.-Larry

To me, the whole point of a forum like this is to be able to speak your mind and be free to say things you wouldn't - or couldn't - say on the microstocks' own forums, some of which are heavily censored. (snip)Forcing posters to expose their contributor identies is completely contrary to the idea of open expression and if that were a requirement, many people (including myself) would no longer participate here.

I think the above is very important. Of course it is perfectly fine if people WANT to link to their submitter identities/portfolios, but if it was a requirement I think it would cast a chill over the conversation, and there would be a lot of people who would leave.
Lisa: You can brag about your port anytime! I have looked them over and you do fantastic work. If you was to make a comment on mine (pro or con) I would listen. If you did not have any links I would ignore anything you have to say.
Sure... if all could maitain a level of civility and courteousness. Sadly, we dont always see that here when VIP's comment. If we are to invite people to our table for a meal, we need to care not to insult them. If we ask a question and dont like the answer, we need to have the tact and diplomacy to temper our replies. IF that could happen,good idea, I'd like to see more of this myself. =tom

Perhaps we can suggest the questions in a thread and then vote or debate on which ones to be asked.
An additional list for non-recommended sites, meaning sites that have gotten a lot of comments for non-payment and non-response from the site.
