No Johnno, there will be no conflict of interest, because our aim is much the same as every other slot car place, to promote the hobby. We see ourselves as working in co-operation with them, not in competition.

But we might well do things differently to SCI, or SFI. One of the ways we might differ, and what's been suggested here, is to allow a longer period for trusted posters to edit their own posts. But we won't be opening up the admin section, so it won't make any difference if someone posts elsewhere, or even if they are a mod, or admin on another forum.

The defining factor will be whether we feel a poster can be trusted not to abuse the privilege, and that will have to be established either by past relationships, or by a decent length of time on here for us to judge.

I think we'll probably also give consideration to the type of content members post. Some posts are more involved than others, and so have more need of editing. High quality, long lasting or evergreen posts, are also more likely to benefit.

But of course, all of this is still under discussion, and we haven't had chance to look at the most practical way to do it.
