There's secret cliquey boards here too. Whatchya gotta say about that?
I would state the same thing now as I did before... 'Secret forums' for only special 'chosen ones' reeks of favoritism and 'cool kids clique' reminiscent of Junior High, and sort of goes against the principles of an open and anonymous board equally open to all.
When I was moderator we had a 'secret board,' but that had a purpose related to the moderating of the board itself, to discuss decisions, rules, applying those rules, etc.
I have always frowned upon favouritism and bias, and a 'secret board' accessible only to certain 'select' regular posters is something that I would've never supported, had I been asked my opinion on that, just like you are now!
FaceBook is where they belong, if they want that... They can have their 'invite only' closed group there, on FaceShit, without any potential 'interference' from the uncool kids cramping up their shit every now and then...
And
that's what I've gotta say about
that!
