i didnt realise this but you can view the whole forum logged in or not??

i thought areas like for sale and members rides would be only for members signed up and logged in to view.

Top Cat:
I think its a bad idea full stop. What is there to say someone with a high post count would not cheat and lie, they could just be very good at it and never get caught.
There is no evidence that a member off here sneaked in or even a lurker seizing a opportunity did it. There has never been a incident like this since we came about. All we have is a man from the breakers  yard making a statement.
Call me stupid but i  would take the word of a member from here long before a man from a breakers who i havn't even said hello too.  :smiley:

Its just life i am afraid guys and the forum tootles along quite nicely without a private section for those who talk a lot.  :happy2:

  In my opinion of course.  :popcornsoda:

JPC:
I agree with the principles of this totally. I'm not to worried about the seats, what I would be more interested in doing is keeping vee double u uk out of the members ride! Lol

VC:
although an over 18's adult section would be quite cool

not talking rancid porn, but some of the riskier topics/pictures etc could always collect in an area like that?

VZi has the same system, anything a bit 'ya kno' gets tucked in there, only posters of 100 or more can get in

stealthwolf:
I agree an extra protected area would be useful for some things but if anyone wanted to, they could (via the courts) force SteveP to reveal all hidden info, so you'd still have to be careful about what you post.

Some of the areas can't be viewed when not logged in, which is fine for me.

Agree with the above comments that you could vet everyone into the 'inner sanctum' but still have a thief get through. Using a post limit isn't a silly idea as 200 posts is achievable if you post once in a while. But you have to address why you would want to do this and what it would achieve.

TBH I'd go for the 'PM me for details', baring in mind that DaveB didn't have even 100 posts so could easily be a scammer trying to build up some 'rep', in which case loads of people could have been duped.

As with everything in life, there's a certain element of risk that will always remain no matter how sensible you are.
