I would like to raise the suggestion of subscribers being able to start “thread blogs” in the public forums.

The need is for the occasional thread to be an updatable info-blog on a topic such as the popular “RHP Prose Competition” where it is beneficial for contributions to be limited to, rules, stories, voting updates and results.

This type of thread benefits from being “read only”, no commenting, no thumbing. Alerting should probably remain.

As a secondary need, it is also worth considering some posters who prefer to more or less blog on their favourite topic and get upset when someone interrupts them with a comment.

I don’t see a risk with this idea.

Thoughts ?

Seconded. @HikaruShindo, for example, had a chess blog. This could be a good solution for the annual Prose Event.

Excellent idea. Not sure about people blogging uninterrupted about political, religious and conspiracy themes though. It would need such a tight definition as to what it could be used for, that perhaps it should only be available after applying to RHP regarding your proposed usage and removed as soon as it strays from your proposal.
