Id like to make a suggestion if appropriate.
Opening posts should simply remind anons to avoid getting distracted and stay focussed on topic, and 1 link to bread for whoever is a newbie/person looking for updates.
Just keep the picture up to identify the bread, put Q posts and updates/notable posts/maps etc in a different bread for updates.
Get people involved, but dont make it so damn complicated just to make a bread.
1 Person to make new breads with appropriate number and reminders, not this 3 miles long opening posts no one bothers looking at 95% of the time. 1 link thats it.
Imho you wouldnt have a problem getting bread makers this way. Lots of people really do want to help, unfortunatly many dont because they are not tech savy (my situation).
By mod in a thread, i dont imply someone to ban people, simply moderate conversations respectively and try to keep them on topic, help people find the information/links to their quieries (However you spell that). If they get offended by "fuck you, gtfo, biblethumpers/aliens or whatever toots your horn" shouldnt be moderating in the first place. Doesnt mean they need to step in with every post off topics either. Moderating shouldnt be about tech skills but communication skills.
Respectfully my 2 cents.
