Hey wad, you kinda hit the nail on the head in an indirect way, ideally I would prefer there to be no aussie thread at all, you don't see any other countries with their own thread apart from the kiwis and they post literally fuck all in theirs. In recreating this one I am trying to avoid the slew of new AU specific threads popping up, remember what it was like 6 months ago? there was a new aussie thread popping up every five fucking minutes and one of the first things I did when I became a mod was shut as many of them down as I could. To be honest I don't know how it will/can work without naming vendors, I just know its a bad fucking idea. At the end of the day having at least one is a compromise, if used responsibly identifiable info should be able to be kept to a minimum and it will give the AU community a much needed sounding board for issues that affect us all. I know that doesn't really answer your question either, it's as good as a response as I can articulate right now though until I've given it more consideration.
