Making the mod forum viewable to all!!!!!

[El Diablo]

Tony P suggested in one of the split threads:

--
At some sites restricted forums are viewable (but not postable) to all users. I think that's what 2+2 should do with the 'star chamber' so we can see what the hell all the fuss is about in there.
--

I think this is a phenomenal idea!

There is really nothing interesting in the mod forum.

This also would solve the question of whether the mod forum really exists in the first place, or is just some dive bar where all the mods go to get drunk.

stabn,

OK, sounds like absolutely no reason not to make it read-only visible to all then!

Gee I wonder along what lines the voting is liable to break down here.

Some of my mod forum threads are great, I wish more people could see them.

I like the opportunity for Kremlin Watching that you get when access is restricted. For instance, I have a theory that one of the mods has compromising pictures of the other mods, and that is why his opinions have any sway.

El Diablo - just go Mod then. Defeat DB in some kind of survivor thing. Profit.

Helpfully,

Why would anyone vote no? If you personally dont wanna have access, vote yes anyway so those that want to can.

I (personally) have no problem with that. I'm not sure if it is actually a good idea or not. You are definitely going to do your usual good job of stirring the pot with this though.

There are definitely some problems with the idea though. This mostly concerns threads that are removed from public view for privacy reasons, etc.
