    I am sure that editing setups can potentially be a lot of work for the moderators. It's almost like submitting a scientific paper to a journal for publication. To avoid any confusion, there could be a structured format to submitting posts where most of the initial setup is "filling in the blanks." The following can be an option of adding photos. Lastly, there can be a "Comments or Description" box for any pertinent info on the setup, performance, problems encountered, opinions, improvements, or modifications, etc. After the setup is posted, a "Peer Review" can allow other forum members to post comments or questions to the builder.

    Anyway, people should address any questions (hull, motor, ESC, batteries, HW, etc.) before any build in the other main categories first. However, even if an "Extreme" setup fails, then that setup should be submitted too, to show that such setups can be very risky and can open discussion from senior members on reasons why it failed. This way people may think twice about deviating from conventional setups. After all, the best way to learn sometimes is from our mistakes. And that being said, we can truly learn from each others mistakes and at the end everyone becomes more educated in the process.

                this is going to be a though job to put together and to maintain isn't it?
