Moved by nsx and seconded by bhatnasx:
FlyerTalk members have expressed concerns about the lack of privacy of their posts on OMNI and OMNI/PR, including their accessibility to search bots and to suspended members. Members overwhelmingly prefer a more secure environment in which they will feel more free to speak.
The TalkBoard recommends that access to OMNI, OMNI/PR, and all future OMNI forums be restricted to logged-in members who have been members at least 180 days and whose post count is at least 180.
This vote will close on Mar 10, 2011 at 6:56 PM Pacific Time or after all TalkBoard members have registered their vote, whichever comes first.
Per the TalkBoard Guidelines:
The purpose of posting voting topics in the public TalkBoard Topics forum is to solicit member feedback on any motions that are up for a vote and to allow for comments after a vote is made. It is at the sole discretion of the individual TalkBoard members whether they choose to post in the public discussion thread, there being no requirement to do so.
So while there is already a thread and discussion on this general topic and it is safe to assume that TalkBoard members have reviewed that thread, this thread is about this specific motion. Please feel free to post questions, comments or any other sort of feedback.
A motion shall pass if two-thirds of TalkBoard members participating in that vote vote ‘yes.’
