Currently this forum is only visible to residents & RRAers. It has been suggested that it become visible to everyone, but with posting limited to residents/RRAers.

Thoughts?

I'd prefer more visibility, just because I like transparency in government whenever possible. I don't think we're talking about confidential information or anything that could have an impact on regional security or foreign affairs (with the possible exception of the WA voting bloc). So the only reason to keep visibility restricted would be potentially to encourage people to sign up as residents so they could see what's going on. I'd be interested in knowing if that curiosity made a difference for any of the people who have registered so far, or whether everyone would have signed up anyway.

how about members? are members not allowed to see the residents area? since they have already signed up they should probably be allowed to see it, for the sake of transparency

I'd say residents only all the way. And RRAers, but I don't think they're mutually exclusive. Are they? Anyhoo, Residents forum, for the residents, why let outsiders see our innermost thoughts?

(RRAers are considered residents, but in order to vote, they still have to register. They can see this forum whether they register or not.)

Question, because I can't see the masking and am not sure I remember correctly - guests can't see that this forum even exists, but registered members can?

It can only be seen by admins, the delegate, residents & RRA members. No-one else can see it at all.

Hm. K. It occurred to me that it might encourage people to register on the forum and apply for residency if they could see right away that there was a private forum they could get access to... and so folks would know there was more going on here than it looks like if you can't see the residents' forum.

I could have it set up that people could see that there was a forum, but not the actual threads - but then they may just think there's nothing going on here. I'm not sure if that's really an improvement on the current situation.

EDIT: Though I guess I could put something about that in the forum description.

Mhm. Is it possible to put links in the forum descriptions? If so, we could link people straight to the residency citizenship application thread from there.

Speaking of - retitle to "Citizens' Private Forum" now that we've got a constitution?

Done all the re-naming, and this forum (though not its contents) can now be viewed by other member groups. Added a bit to the forum description & the forum rules to make clear that people need to apply for citizenship to view the threads.
