How might this work?

I am very keen to make this work, not only to kick along model development for RE (& MekArcade, of course), but to try to increase the general expertise in modelling related to the Cube engine and maybe even find a bit of talent. To keep things organised and consistent with forum practices I was going to suggest keeping to the currrent system. So posts in this forum would fall into the following types of groups:

MODEL - finished models configured & ready to go in RE.
WIP - models you are working on, it may be because its a collective work, you want an opinon or you are just sick of it
TUTORIAL - if you do a modelling tutorial or find a good offsite one, post it hear
MODEL PACK- a model pack with finished models configured & ready to go, ideally on an RE map.
TIP - know something good, tell people
REQUEST - request for a model. You never know your luck.
HELP - specific help request.
CONCEPT - concept art
LINK - to models and resources

Note: above altered in response to later posts - 31/1/13.

What do people think of that sort of system? Are there others I have missed?

So for example Julius first post would become [Tip] Getting a model into the game. Actually I think it would be better if there was a little more detail in the title, particularly with modelling there are so many different apps/steps/platforms involved that some detail is neccesary, again using Julius post as an example. [Tip] Exporting an IQM model from Blender.

I will post a few examples of models, packs etc to see how it works.

I am not sure about links as seperate posts they may clutter things up a bit. It may be better to keep a couple of lists of links, as stickies. Things like:

Tools/Plugins/Apps
Cube ready models & collections
General model collections and packs
Tutorials
Other Resources

Again, what do people think. If we did use sticky lists of links then they would have to be maintained. I would be happy to do some.

You already have moderator access. I tend toward "ALLCAPS:" for my titles, but I don't really impose a standard. You can edit topic titles as a moderator nonetheless, just hit edit on the post.

Yes, why not. I mean while looking at probably incoming stuff and the necessary topics for it, it's a good thing to sort everything and to have a kind of hierarchy, sorted by importance. Your points sound good to me. The only addition could be a special mapsection for MA from me. (we have it partly already, though).
But for the concrete kind of sorting you will be the master, how it seems.
