Forum Security/Privacy....

^^^^
200 posts was just to illustrate a principle and its not my decision. However, in my opinion it would need to be a fairly fat post count in order for the privacy to be effective.
VC:
i think this has fail written all over it tbh
i get what youre saying, and ideally would be great :happy2:
however, what of regular readers but infrequent posters? would limit their access but they would be no less a member?
would it not also create a core of 'inner members' posting potentially valuable info that people would miss if they dont get access? even if you duplicate it around the forums its a bit ott
i think the answer is simple.
if you are holding a hot potato then make a shout and then take it to private messages to spread the word
eg
if i knew of some recaro seats i could post about it, then tell people further info if they pm me
..i dont know of any btw but thats the simple fix
there is the option of closing areas for non registered members, but to do that widely would go against the site ethos? freedom to browse?
purely my opinion of course, but restrictions would be a knee jerk reaction

Maybes just simply a section where members with 200+ posts as you suggested (or whatever number is decided on) where anything like this can be discussed.. Any subject, just a general area but for established and more to the point trusted members only..

....Yes, any subject but in a general but secure private area. It would be incumbent on each of us not to abuse it and only start a topic there if privacy was indeed important either for the sake of the individual or for the sake of all.
:happy2:

Baaaaaah! Yes, I see VC's point too.
However, I don't see how it would adversely effect the site's 'ethos' as a whole. I can see SteveP posting a one word answer to this suggestion though.
