Intmon:

It costs nothing to add a forum..... Can we have one called AO Professionals?

It should be restricted to the following format:-

1: A minimum of 300 posts in security related forums. (negotiable)
2. A minimum of 750 positive antipoints (negotiable)
3. Nominated by poll of existing members with an 80% or better acceptance rate.
4. Can be subsequently denied access after acceptance by poll with a 55% or better denial rate.
5. Non-security related threads are simply deleted by Mods.

Can we make a place here that people who are _actually_ interested in security related issues that is a "haven" away from the idiots we seem to get over in Addicts. If an individual can regain access to Addicts in a week or so simply based on a bs post count it means he an "addict" not that he has anything useful or important to contribute.

Let's make somewhere here that people _aspire_ to as opposed to somewhere that people can get to by default that they can subsequently screw up by their juvenile antics....

Course, I'm going to get told to "whistle Dixie" I'm sure...... But you'd improve the quality of your members no end because those that want to get there will get there, those that can't/won't/want to play "silly buggers" will know that they will never be able to mess with that forum. It should also improve the quality of the other forums in so far as those that do "aspire" to the forum will help more, give better answers and be less of an idiot when s/he is in a shitty mood....

Think about it..... Corporately, it might do well to consider it too.
