I need to decide on what forum software we will be going with for the next phase of Silvertails to make this possible.
However I am looking at setting up a new forum, this forum will have a reputation level in order to get posting permissions.
Now there are two ways I am looking at doing this.
1 - I give out reputation points, based on your posts, so if I think the post was good/bad/whatever then you get reputation points and are added to the forum
2 - Not sure this is possible but was thinking about a way where the members of the forum give reputation depending on posts, when you reach a certain threshhold you are granted access to the forum, if you lose reputation points and drop from that threshold, you then lose permissions.
This way in order to stay in that forum you need to have a consistently good level of posts, as deemed by your peers.
The issue is that I would need to start with a default set of people who have those permissions and the people I choose may not be to your liking.
