So after reading Jesse's post, and hearing the concerns of other members regarding posting of bucks online, I think I have a plan but want member input.
To keep guests and lurkers from seeing posts we can create a private forum where only contributing members can read threads. Entry to this forum can be set on a merit basis such as post count and time as a member. A person would need to meet both criteria before being allowed entry. For example, Must have been a member for more than 1 year, with more than 200 posts. While attracting new member and making them want to contribute to the forum is important, it's more important that our members who consistently contribute feel safe in doing so. If lurkers and guests are harming the contributing member experience then something has to be done.
What is everyone thoughts on the plan, and what do you feel that threshold should be?. Bear in mind this shouldn't be completely prohibitive, we realistically have to make it obtainable to members who have shown their worth such as been a member for over a year and contributed over 200 posts. This will cut out 99.99% of those people who just lurk and read. The intent is to make sure the people who see those posts aren't just e-scouting for information. This forum would be for posting harvest and trailcam pictures. Basically anything that would show your cards.
