Hey VT staff Will here with my 120th post, 20th started thread. Totally different this time, but I think it's important. The Art Room may not be the most visited place on VT, but it is one of the only places on VT that people can truly express themselves through art, photography, and writing. Ive been using these forumns lately and noticed some improvements that can be made. First off, I noticed that when your are trying to post a picture or piece of art in a thread, there is no button or function that let's you insert a picture from a file on your computer. Although this could be a highly arguable idea, because of the explicit content that could be posted, an increase in the number of Moderators could easily solve this problem. Secondly, a less problematic idea, the "Open Book" thread in the art room should have some form of official author, like a Poet Laurette, but in a more general position. This person would be responsible for monitoring the Open Book forum, much like a Moderator, but only with powers for that forumn. Having such a person would help filter the increasing amount of spam I have noticed in the forumns in "The Art Room", and also could be a person that assists people with the writing or posting in the "Open Book".

If you support this idea, please indicate so, and vote in the poll above.
If you do not support this idea, please also indicate and vote.

It's quite simple to upload a picture at image hosting places, such as PhotoBucket, Picoodle, TinyPic, etc. and you can just copy the link and put [img ] [/img ] tags around it.- and uploading them here would put much stress on the server.
Even so, there are upload options that Jack pointed out

As for a mod for the Open Book, we have 4- Bobby, John, Jared, and Caitlin.
I don't see a need for many more- most spammers stick with P101 :P (I haven't seen much- if any- spam in The Open Book)
