Submission Form for Communities

Title:
Submission Form for Communities

Area:
Communities

Summary:
This comm allows users to submit suggestions using a form. What about allowing other comms to also take submissions using similar forms?

Description:
This feature would be useful for moderated comms which wish posters to contribute posts formatted in a certain way. People might feel more inclined to contribute if the process is streamlined. (for example, the form template could automatically put in a link to the submission form in every entry, just like this comm automatically inserts a poll) or a link to the submission form could prominently feature the link to the submission form)

Maintainers could create their own forms with whatever boxes/texts they deem appropriate for their community.

There may be some issues also with the submission form possibly including elements not put in by the post author, but I think this could be dealt with by making the poster see a preview of the post in its entirety, and having to approve that, before it is sent to the maintainers for approval/posting.
