Were looking for input and suggestions for this.

We thought to have a bt section for regulars to post.
Not sure how this will do but should be interesting.
Thanks to those that contribute as much as they do.
May those that are able to post in this section enjoy it...

:) :)

We could also have suggestion who should recieve access to the section. Perhaps have a poll and if say 50% or more agree they recieve access also. This way regulars that hadnt met the requirements would be able to be part of the section also. Think suggestions should meet the date and post requirements as a basic though.

This is going to be a serious peanut gallery section huh? You can see it but not post unless you meet those requirements, so I only wonder how many threads are going to ooze over to the regular bt section? Beyond that, not a bad idea in my opinion.

is that "Have 20 reputation points." really required !! :(

The 20 rep points requirement is more than unfair. Anyway I really cant understand the need of that part

I think this is a great idea RealitY. But I gotta agree with the others, the 20 rep points thing should definitely be taken out. Most of us regulars do not care at all about rep points. I think the only ones that really care about these rep points are the traders?

I do think the 90 days and 500 posts rule is pretty good though. When you meet these requirements you're pretty much a "regular".

I guess it could re-invent rep points as being for giveaways instead of just for gauging trader's trustworthiness? :idunno: I dunno, I wasn't for that either at first..

Maybe it could change the stigma surrounding rep points that older members for the most part have.

I also agree 20+ rep points will eliminate a lot of good members from meeting the requirements to post.

Everyone Can post any message, it's easy to reach 500 messages but rep points shows that you share what you got.. If you don't have that, it's mean you don't share so much, only post too much messages..

Good luck to it.
