Actually, Larry, it works like this.
1. Anyone can read threads on the
Open Forum.
2. Only registered users can view threads in the
Koi Information and
Koi Industry Forums.
3. Only registered users who apply to join, and are approved by management, are allowed to view threads in the top-secret
Debate Usergroup Forum. Think there's only 6 or 7 users at that level, so it's sort of like the limited gene pool to be found in some of Appalachia's more remote hollers now that Graham's been excluded.
Threads which get 'heated' get 'quarantined' by being bumped up from one level to the next -- which means that fewer and fewer folks can view them. Which is fine by me. Hey, that's what the guys following the elephants down Main Street have to sweep up, too.
