Suggesion up for voting

RedMaestro2 · 01-02-2011, 01:22 AM

In an effort to thwart fakers, some militaria forums protect their "Fakes" sub-forums with membership restrictions. A certain number of posts or level of membership is required before these sub-forums can be accessed. Theoretically, this prevents or deters fakers from easily getting information that would help them in their nefarious trade.

I wonder if we might set up a similar restricted system on this forum. While it may not stop the most determined, it will certainly halt some and help weed out others. We have a wealth of detailed, fake-related info from true experts that is vulnerable. And it is in the interest of the collecting community to protect it.

What do you think of this suggestion? Please vote in the poll. If you are in favor of a restriction, please select yes and the option for the access threshold. Comments, ideas, and opinions are welcome!

Thanks, and Happy New Year!
