Surrogate Sub-Forum
I have an idea for the problem of threads in various forums that lead to HJT logs. How about creating a special HJT log surrogate thread sub-forum in the Cyber Safety forum or the HJT forum if one is created. The nature of the sub-forum would be that you can't just create a completely brand new thread in it. The idea is for the help needing thread starter from another forum to click a button (or something), accessable in their original thread, when told they should post a HJT log, creating a thread of the same name for posting the log into to be automatically made in the HJT sub-forum and a new post with a link to that sub-forum thread in the origional thread. People who can help analize the log will conveniently find it in the HJT sub-forum and the heart of the thread will still be in the other forum. Whether or not the HJT log helped can be posted in the origional thread and the exchange of posts can continue if it didn't. Perhaps putting a comment on whether the HJT log helped could be demanded, more or less, and a little reminder window could pop up when they log in.
The downside:
Whoever suggests making the log to the person in need may have to educate them as to how to find the button to click or whatever.
Someone will have to write the software for doing this.
Any other drawbacks?
