Title: Private Forums
Post by: Real_Drugs on August 30, 2013, 08:34 am
I do not have time to write something long winded and elaborate so I am going to be as succinct as I can.

There might already be a variation of my suggestion but I will go ahead anyway. I think there should be some threads that are invite only and only a selected group of individuals can view. (kind of like the vendors forums). This would be good for threads that are only useful to a select demographic such as the Australian thread. This will eliminate a lot of LE intel.

I will elaborate when I have time, but I would like to know what everyone thinks.

You mean so only Australian LE could see the thread?

With elaborating  further, so far it's a bad idea with no pros and a big cloud of false security.

If your demographics is big enough you will have LE in between. If your demographics is small enough use other means of communication.

since it's a private forum I'm sure it won't just be the geographical location.

inevitably things such as forum presence, vouches from other members, buyer stats, age of account etc ALL will come into effect.

Like Real_Drugs said, there is more to be elaborated on but I thought when someone heard PRIVATE FORUMS they'd draw some logical conclusions at least.

It would have to be a tight ship though with people being VERY tight lipped about it. I can imagine it would paint a bulls eye on anyone's back for LE to source information from people involved in the Australian private forum. They would then just start catching people like they do on the street, any weak or fickle minded person who'd crack easily and let them hoard intel through his/her account affiliated with the private forum. Some VERY strict checks should be on that forum.

I'll wait for more of your elaboration RD.

Touchthesky is onto it.

You would have to earn some credibility and respect to be able to have access to certain threads, Australian thread was just an example.
Some threads would need buyer stats to prove you have spent a certain amount etc.
