Great job Patrick, it is a tricky area to deal with for sure, but I think you have come up with a great idea with this new forum and the rules you have in place. Rman
This software is much better that the Proboards software. It's easier to restrict topics to certain users. At proboards all I could do was password protect topics. You know how that is. You approve 1 person and soon all his buddies are there. This way I can allow members and if they cause trouble only in here I can pull their permission for here. Also by resticting initial access to a post count those who cannot contain their troublemaking cannot enter.
