This poll is what I'm going to base the decision of the private forum on...so vote seriously on it and please don't use more than one ID to pad your idea.
The options are pretty simple:
It shouldn't be made at all
It should be made, available to people with a certain number of posts
or
It should be made, available to people who have been registered for a certain amount of time (probably one month)
Personally, I think that it definitely should be made. The reasoning is that a lot of the content posted on nubblies needs to be censored to a point in the case that those who are mentioned could come in and view it. The main case of this is the ever so popular "Teachers I'd like to fuck" thread. If a special forum was dedicated to those who had clearly pledged their allegiance to Nubblies, the things allowed in that forum would be much less strictly moderated.
Because of its main purpose, I think that basing access upon a date registered is not a very effective idea. This is because a person could very easily show that they are loyal to nubblies in less than a month (a month would be the least period of time...because the "date registered" doesn't show specific days).
On that same token, I can see why some people do not think that the post number is a good idea. Some folks says that good members simply do not post as much as others...and basing it on post quantity could have an adverse effect on post quality. I see this as reasonable and, because of that, I think that the number of posts necessary should be relatively low.
Go ahead and vote and let your opinion speak. If you feel a need to justify your vote, either use the comment or this thread. Thanks for your input, it's truly appreciated.
On a sidenote, please take into consideration that this forum is simply to keep certain material away from certain people. It is not to form a certain "Elite" group of Nubblies.com members who get to see special content. While this forum will have less moderation (or maybe I should say that the rest of the board will have more moderation...meaning that real names of people close to us would be prohibited <even the hottest girl thread would be moved to the private forum> ), it still will have the same rules about mentioning real names of people. Perhaps if this goes well, there could be a special board only for people with a ton of posts. That board would be for the "Elite Nubbliers" or whatever. It would have basically no rules regarding names (with the exception of tying a name to a nubblies.com member). We aren't going to have that until this is going well though...
