Suggestion: A Tutorials Forum/Section

[Day_N_Night]

Another website, which i browse, has a tutorials section. In the case of that Website, about lucid dreaming.

I was thinking we do the same for things that are discussed here.

So my idea is we would have a forum where people post tutorials and the threads are then locked or whatever like in the other website that i mentioned.

For a tutorial to be posted, it would have to meet a certain standard such as

1) Have decent punctuation 2)good grammar and spelling 3) be proof read for grammar, spelling, accuracy and what not 4) Be approved by an administrator or Mod

In addition to all that, the writing style would have to be formal or semi-formal atleast, so as to be more professional.

We could also have a sub-forum where Tutorial co-ordination, comments and criticisms could be posted.

The reason i asked for the tutorials in a tutorials forum to be locked after they are posted is that i think that if they were not, that would lead to clutter.

We want maximum navigationability and clutter would be an obstacle to that. People could still post and comment on the tutorials but they would have to start a thread in the sub-forum to do so.

All of the pre-requisities that i came up with for tutorials to have, are things that text files on totse and bombshock are seriously lacking in all of those (bad spelling, grammar, inaccurate,outdated,very informal), so i think we could one up them to set ourselves apart.

What do you guys think about this?

I'd like a General Underground Discussion Board which could fit in tut's for ease of finding as well as other things.

I'm not sure what Doc and Stone reckon but I'm interested in their views.

Good idea. As soon as we get the go ahead from Stone or Docta D, provided that they do agree. We can start coming up with categories to include, and finding volounteer authors and co-authors and so on...Just basically organzing everything.

I was also thinking, the E-book that you will be coming out with around september,
"What they don't want you to know: a Th0r Production" should also be featured in such a Tutorials Forum, as a sticky. To highlight the forum.

I like the sub-forum for "works in progress", where other members can contribute to the tutorial - maybe the author will even extend them "contributor" credit.

Although I dread the thought of every carding related tutorial being copied ad nauseam from every carding board that ever was. I think we can count on the Rorta community to create some unique tutorials that aren't necessarily crime related (not that there's anything wrong with the ones that are, heh heh)

Then there's the whole issue of disclaimers and liability.
