As a member, I have no problems with the board in its current form. I have the freedom to ignore posts from those I think rude, lazy or incoherent. If it were my job to offer technical support here, I might have a different view.
We are all human beings. Introducing a form is like putting a robot in the way of normal human discourse. how many times have you found yourself filling out a form which doesn't allow you to express your thoughts when a simple plain box (like the one I'm typing in) would allow you to in three lines?
I agree with boriz on this. Students using the forum for help are showing initiative; commercial folk may be saving themselves a few pounds, but it's their neck they're risking on some product development; we only have to offer advice.
I am almost universally amazed at the politeness and level of help offered here. Don't change a thing unless you have to.
