Yeah although I did bring up a few concerns at first, I think it is a nice idea in theory and we may as well try it out to see how it goes rather than just making assumptions. However, it would be nice if there was a better method instead of having to PM.

also dont get why they have to pm an account only the manager has access to, cut out the middle man and make a forum the department can see all threads in

Heads also have access and it is posted into a forum for all to see. I wanted an automated account or a widget form but I don't think we are allowed that atm.

Perhaps I'll sneakily request a bunch of furni which are about to plummet in value, stall for a week and then the dept makes a massive loss.

I don't get how it would be a loss :S You say what price you are going to pay and the deadline. When making the request the user should bare in mind future value although most furni don't change value by much in a few days. We wouldn't make a loss as long as the user sticks to the rules.

I did want a widget form to request but for now it has to be PM.

still a middleman situation.. let people post directly instead of waiting for someone to read the pm then pass it on

Knowing how lazy most of the rare value team can be, I don't see this working very well

What gives you that impression?

Its better to have a thread for staff to discuss the request rather than a thread where anyone can post because it just asks for comments and requests that don't use the form.

why did you decide to use PM over threads/posts? (not saying it's a bad thing just wondering what your reason is behind it)

have a stickied thread in the staff forum to discuss all requests?
disable the ability to reply to other peoples threads excluding staff?
disable the ability to see other peoples threads entirely excluding staff?
the form runs a risk of not being used anyway

If those two can be done, then I guess that could work well. At least it saves time, as Will would currently have to be checking PMs on the rare values account and then post them in the staff forum and that could potentially create a long gap between when the user PMs, and when the rare values staff are notified.

I guess it would be better to have a forum for that, it would be something like managers request threads. I'll look into it.
