[Feedback][Suggestion][Paid DM][LFG] Please fix Paid DM listing process and make it less of a ludicrous compliance exercise

From a systems perspective, there are some pretty straight-forward fixes that could streamline the workflow of submitting listings by paid DMs that requires less checking and less faffing about with the relevant moderators. : Increase the length of the field for entering paid DM details in the LFG tool from 50 to maybe 200? The details I entered kept getting truncated. Or provide more granular options such as: Cost Currency Frequency (including per session as an option as well as weekly, monthly, etc) Free text field for payment method and/or checkboxes (e.g. PayPal, Stripe, DriveThruRPG Gift Credit, Roll20 Gift Credit, Amazon credit, etc) Provide a checkbox after that tool saying "Also post to LFG forum" that activates a textbox for the LFG forum post title. On save, if "Also post to LFG forum" is checked, post the LFG listing's body text and details to the LFG forum. I understand that Roll20 wants to focus on the core of their product - i.e. the VTT, and the content monetization side of. But putting moderators in a position where they need to enforce compliance processes over free text fields rather than idiot-proofing the data entry is not exactly a great way to encourage loyal customers. This is a UX issue that extends beyond the forums/LFG tool client. There is a human and process element that is seriously broken at the moment.

Hi Jemma, Thanks for your suggestions. However, they are neither bugs nor really technical issues (the focus of this forum).  For your suggestions, we offer the  Suggestions & Ideas  forum, which is based on voting from the whole community. I'd move the post to the correct forum for you, but if I do it, it automatically gets closed, and that would probably be even more frustrating. Please review our  Forum Voting  wiki page for more information on how voting works, and our  Posting to Suggestions & Ideas  section of the  Code of Conduct . As this is a suggestion thread outside the designated forum, this thread will be closed. Feel free to copy your suggestion to a new post in the  Suggestions & Ideas  forum. In the meantime, I'll go ahead and bring this to the attention on the dev team.
