I think this feature would be relatively nice. Getting direct input from members without having them have to PM a staff member is handy, and plus, it gives more "hands-on" interaction with the site.

If they have to say something, they can say it in FES Discussion/Support. Is that not what this is for? Sometimes staff members post in the same announcement thread multiple times. If we have members post in them, for one, the updates in that thread are unorganized, and two, to keep it organized, the staff member would have to keep deleting to posts made.

Overall bad and unneeded idea.

That's sort of harsh. >_>
