Great Showcase Changes - minor suggestion

First of all, I love the changes to the Site Showcase forum. Your template frames an intelligent discussion about websites.

As a small suggestion, a slightly different name for the "Rejected Showcase Posts" forum might create a more positive connotation (ex. “Staging for the Showcase" forum.)

Not only does a word like "staging" have a more positive connotation, but it also better describes the process that needs to occur. Again, good job on the new framework. Thank you to all involved.

What's positive about the fact that we provide people a free place to promote their Joomla site, and only ask them to read one thread to use as a template.... and they can't even do that.

Sorry, REJECTED gets the message across far better than 'Staging'. This is the real world... http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/b/ ... speech.htm

You are not wrong. Not even a little bit. It could be a difference, Brad, between the "Thinking" and the "Feeling" portions of the Myers Briggs and do *not* get angry to have me say that please.

One last comment and I promise I will say nothing more on this - but, people are not intentionally trying to disregard your rules. Granting a bit of mercy and graciousness *especially* when undeserved can frequently yield benefits later.

But, Brad, point taken, okay? It was a minor suggestion in recognition of MAJOR steps forward. Please take it in that context.

I'm done. Thank you for considering. And, I'll print the quotes and try to "get used to it!"  :) (that was part of the quote. that is all)
