Private forum?

I'm just curious; has Kiren ever considered making this a private forum? Public is fine with me, but with the recent picture stealing and stuff, I wonder if making it private would help that. Plus, a lot of new people would join us ;)

I'm completely in favour of a private forum, but in the same breath, the photo "stealers" could easily be members.

We haven't considered that because a lot of members register after lurking for a while. But we have considered making the On Set and Around Town threads viewable by members if that issue continued to be a problem. (Or maybe we'd have to make the whole Spoiler Spot folder that way. I kind of forget what the tech capabilities are)

Starry -- that's true. If they're big RB fans they're probably already members here.... Which makes things more difficult.

Lawoman -- Thanks for the answer! That's interesting that you can make certain threads private. I'm not sure if it would help or not because of what StarryDreamer said... there's no way to know if they're members. But I wouldn't say its not worth a try sometime.

Pretty sure that making something private would have to be adding a toggle (like the spoiler toggle) but I'm looking into it

I lurked on here for almost a year just because of the spoiler spot. I probably would've lost a lot of interest in the show itself over the hiatus if I couldn't access that section as a non-member (It's silly, but I just like my anonymity).

I hate to say this, but maybe people should just use better discretion when posting and watermarking pics like those that got stolen. I have a picture from Eric holding a sign up with my name that Nathy got for me last year, but it was never posted specifically because I was worried about people altering it and posting it all over the place.

Give me a few minutes, I'm going to try something and hopefully (crossing my fingers) it will work and eliminate some of the issues

Like Starry pointed, I believe that making this a private forum won't solve this problem.

We're working on it right now to do something that will still keep the board public but hopefully protect those who are posting pictures. Obviously the system is not going to be perfect but we'll do what we can.

I've wondered about what content non members can view. It seems to have its pros and cons but I liked the idea of having the spoiler sections for members only. A lil perk for hanging and participating in the forum. Plus I would hope it encourages fans to join, that way when the RB people see the # of members/supporters it helps their ratings/funding etc.

I agree with Starry that the photo thieves could be members, but at least in some cases it would prove where they took the photo from and then they could be dealt with, suspended it banned. For instance, if member ABC steals a photo I've only posted in a private thread and then they post it on twitter, etc chances are we'll know who ABC is on twitter. Thus, unequivocal proof they ignored the rules and with it being private there are privileges that can be taken away if trust is lost.

However, I lurked for over a year... Maybe a year and a half before joining so I see the benefit in keeping some stuff public, I lurked over speculations more than spoilers.

Also, I haven't trolled the internet to check but I went crazy protecting my pictures and don't think there's been an issue so it's also a matter of diligence.
