Judge Dred (Fred)The witch hunt has some very pointed questions related to our hobby. I think the questions are valid but it would be best done in a more controlled format. Perhaps we can open up a new section within our "friendly" confines of this forum, something like the BST or links page, but the focus would be on special topics. In this case topics/questions related to auction houses and grading companies.
FORMAT:
Invite all companies to participate.
Have the board determine which questions to ask the companies.
Allow the companies to answer/respond.
Post all responses at the same time.
Have one round of rebuttal quetions (again the questions would be determined by the board).
End of discussion.
BASIC RULES:
The board selects the questions and rebuttal questions.
Nobody but the moderators are allowed to respond on the thread. The only reason for this is to keep the thread focused and not have the companies/participants feel like they are going to get lynched.
This format may keep the companies/participants coming back to participate in future forums focused on their hobby specialties. This board could truly have a positive influence on the hobby. It could be "the place" on the web where tough questions and interesting issues are addressed by hobby related companies.
