First off let me say that when I first started posting here I used to forget to state what Story Format I was using almost every post I made, so this isn't a criticism of those who do likewise, but could a second drop-down not be added below the Category one, for Story Format, which unless selected prevents the post from being submitted, in the same way failing to choose a category does?

I'm not familiar with running a forum, though, so I may be talking out of my much smaller mouth.
