General Request Request
Hey guys, so Im Lizi…this is my first forum post so I hope people actually read it lol…
Anyway, I just wanted to put one thing out there for the members that would be extremely helpful for listeners if you could do it. It would actually also be helpful for the members too haha.
Anyway, Ive been a listener here for a few months now and Ive always been kind of uneasy about taking general requests. The reason for that is I never know what Im getting in to.
Sometimes it works out, and I am able to help the member, but other times, I don
Hello! Thanks for this helpful post & sharing your ideas on how to improve this process.
Right now, we do have topic tags. Are you saying you'd like to see more specific topics listed/ written by the individual posting the request?
@Krinkthemellowunicorn may be able to offer further insight into this idea. :)
@Laura @krinkthemellowunicorn I actually meant it would be helpful if more members used the topic tags because a lot of the time people don't choose what they want talk about and it is like we go in blind and hope that we are experienced with the topic

Sounds like requiring members to select a tag is the idea. For those who cannot clarify into a specific category, maybe we could add "Not sure" or some other general tag language.
@Laura, an "other" option with the opportunity to specify would work as well!
@RebeccaEmily @laura @heyworlditsok - how do people feel about allowing people to pass as well? should we just make it easier to supply something but or should we go as far as making it a requirement?
Others' opinions welcome as well, of course!
@Laura - I think it wouldn't be too hard to have a fill-in-the-blank option, or to encourage more people to choose a topic, or even require it, although that last approach risks denying people care who aren't capable of saying what the problem is up-front.
