Current requirements are 180/180 (days/posts). If you get voted in on TB with less, you wont have access to OMNI/CC, and its a bit harder to do ones job I suppose. Minor technical change in case TB is open for newbies.

I'd think that's something to be dealt with if the situation actually happens.

And i think there should be a fee for people to access all this information not a 180/180 thing and have limited access.
i would prefer to pay.

All the settings (access requirements) can be overridden by the admins of the site in the event this situation occurs.
But I can't even imagine someone with so few posts and time on FT would be elected to the TB.

Heck,
If they actually post in the campaign election threads and post in a few public TB debate threads, they would have the 180 posts in no time!
I am curious how having access to those two forums would help them do their job?

With TB voting on CC TOS, entry requirements etc I more than just guess they should have a clue what they are voting on (although that doesnt seem to be a requirement, based on my reading on several votes).

Frankly, I think there should probably a minimum time and posting requirement for TB membership. I can't see someone who has only been around a couple of months with minimal participation being qualified to make decisions as to how FT should be run.

I think this is probably more important than whether or not they have access to CC and OMNI in regards to serving on TB. I don't know that someone who hasn't been a member for more than a month or two would know enough about FT to make decisions about how it should be run.

My point as of now, is that if we vote someone on to TB, we shouldnt limit their access in any way.
I see that my suggestion can be done by admin, but do we need this discussion if the situation arise?
I can certainly see some year long posters with only 150 posts being able to contribute, or even an evangelist with only 4 months registration being able to contribute to TB. Maybe someone with the initiative to do more research on new forum proposals etc. But thats OT at the moment.

Certainly a valid point, but a totally different discussion. We should maybe leave that to the majority/voters?
