Its all upto the members. If you want something like this, we will provide.
But on second thought, i have reservations about link exchange forums. Mostly they attract the wrong kind of visitors - Spammers!

they are a meeting place for 80% of spammers if not more.

not agree. digitalpoint ,sitepoint these sites allow link exchange forum and are not spammed.

those parts of the forums are still a magnet for spammers, but I do see your point.

Hedir is a human edited directory. It's more likely they would be attracted here with that type of addition.

To become a successful forum hedir can include a link exchange category to provide people a global market place.
They can mention that people can go for open link exchange offer only through this forum category. Spammers will come. It is an unavoidable reality.
However, can hedir resist spammers by not allowing the requested category? I think to become an ultimate gainer few risks can be accepted. My personal opinion
However, it is hedir ultimately to decide whether they will be able to afford this risk or not.
