"center members only" forum
Posted: Tue Sep 17, 2013 9:22 am
Ivan,
I think we need a "center members only" forum, where everybody can read, but only invited members can write. Is there a way to do this in phpBB?
To make this more clear:
1) All internet users can read
2) All who are registered at blackboxframework.org can read
3) Only those who are especially invited (those 8 or so who have added their names to the google Drive sheet where we talked about who wants to be active in the "center") can write. If someone wants to join the team, he has to apply.
Naturally, not all forums at blackboxframework.org should be set that way, but there needs to be a "management forum" set up that way.
This management forum does not need any moderators, since only a few people can post there, and if someone misbehaves severely, he could be voted out by the whole group.
For starters, I would have this "management forum" as the only forum here, so that nobody needs to use up his time moderating passer-bys and trolls until we are all set up. When we are finally done setting up this site, with all the basic decisions made, we can open moderated forums. But for now, moderation would take away time from getting started.
Am I making sense?
