This comes up about every 8 months or so...
I have never thought of a solution that would work, but I do know that offering free honing on a one to one basis to someone struggling is not against any rule here in fact it is the true spirit of this forum...
In fact if that spirit is picked up by people here, everything seems to work out just fine and has always been that way...
Wanna hone???? offer to help, that person will let others know and it grows from there....
That is exactly what Joe Chandler told me at this site when I joined, and it worked out pretty darn good... I didn't do anything but offer my help, and pretty soon, people were asking me for help...
I never offered restores either, I just did my own, and offered some up, for some of the giveaways, and pretty soon people were asking me for restores...
If you just take the time to help which is what SRP is all about, it all comes together...
Now maybe I am a bit naive, but in my eyes if you do good work, and treat people fair they will come and find you....
As to an SRP sponsored "Honemeister badge".... there is one, Lynn has is...
look under his name :)
Edit: I have no solution to the idea of the "Panel" it always sounds good and rather easy but OMG what a nightmare it could really be..
Now maybe as the Meets grow, that might make it possible...
