Can we add a new section?

[koikeepr]

Is it possible to add a new section for folks that have koi/goldfish illnesses or emergencies?

I think it would be great to look back at these for those that have issues in all one place so they don't have to search all over the place to see what's plaguing their herd. Could be helpful, I think.

It would be nice to have a quick reference to compare your fish to

If we do, I think we need to Moderate all the posts that are not related to keep it pure. Including all the casual non value added comments.

If there is a general consensus that this is a good idea and the moderators agree, then I will get this added. :biggrin:

 

[DrDave]

I think the Moderators are in agreement. I also think DrCase and I will be able to sort through non value added posts and remove all that do not bring intelligent information to the subject. This is important so a person with a fish in distress can quickly find a remedy.

Is there a way to preface this Thread rules so people will not be shocked to see their posts removed?

We have people here who had eluded to a dictatorship and are quick to say so. They would be the first to protest.

yay! I'm thrilled to hear this! I think it will a good dimension to the site. Bravo!

 

[DrDave]

We are also working on another feature that may even be better. Stay tuned...

this sounds like a good idea to me:fish2:

 

[DrCase]

We can pick a person to do a section and he can post all he wants on the subject, and edit out the ones that jump in while the member is getting the facts together

great idea! I always wonder where to look for ilness related threads.

This section is now active:

However, it's only a part way solution for the moment - as I'm going to work on a way to get an emergencies section to it, so members with urgent problems can get quick, concise help (rather then discussion etc...). This will take some more planning and I will post more on this at the time.
