*Warning: The post you are about to read is random, and I'm not even sure it belongs here, but I'll give it a go.*

I think a good way to avoid quick replies that quickly spawn pages upon pages of information is to have a way for posters to edit the original post (and have the original poster approve or deny the changes to the post). Now, I'm not sure if there is already such a feature (since I mainly come to these forums to read posts and learn how to do cool new stuff with the tablets), but it might just work. I've seen posts on how to do something/a new application, and then someone asks a question and someone else replies with a fix/warning (if the fix/warning had been in the original post, it may have saved "end-users" from a tablet reflash --- this has happened to me on one occasion when I was trying to get the screen-rotate to work).

Also, perhaps posts should not be in order of time, but should be in a tree structure, where posts can have sub-posts and such (which could be collapsible).

Ex.:

I have this cool new application/trick. To do it/install it, you must do this: instructions follow.

|--------How do we do this thing with your application/whatever?
|
|
|-------------- If you do this thing and this other thing, you might get what you're looking for.

Again, I don't post that often, and I haven't seen the option in the User Control Panel, so feel free to correct me if these features already exist. As always, these features could be made an *option*, not the default. Anyway, just a cool random idea I had.

Well, the Wiki allows editing, so you get something similar. It's based on trust, not the approval of the original author, but I think someone gets automatically notified about Wiki changes, so an expert does see changes.
