General problems with that include abuse by non-retailers(i.e. random web surfers), making it too complicated so that retailers don't bother to use it, and getting the information out about the page. A good compromise might be to have a page which allows requests to be submitted, this can be a form which will make sure that you fill out the proper fields, (i.e. state, address, games to be demoed, store name, etc...) and can generate the e-mail on it's own. To prevent abuse of this page, it will require authentication. A registered rabbit who is logged in will be automatically approved, while someone who is not a registered rabbit, or at least not logged in, will require approval of the submission before it is posted. The biggest problem that I could see with an approval procedure would be making certain that these requests are approved in a timely fashion so that the requests are posted promptly and not missed. And, if we want to continue this discussion any further it should probably be moved to the Geek list. :) -----Original Message----- From: rabbits-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rabbits-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Christopher Hickman Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 4:44 PM To: Rabbits Discussion List Subject: Re: [Rabbits] A General Request Better yet, perhaps Rabbit requests could be generated automatically from a page online, so that retailers could make requests directly to be posted to the Rabbits list...
