Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You know what? When you have posts with duplicate post numbers, you can't do a direct link to the second post. Makes sense, but I'd never thought about it until just now when I tried to do it.

I know we have other priorities right now, I'm just restating a request of which I was suddenly reminded, before I forget it again. Please forgive me if this was answered and I missed it.
Is there any way to restrict the ability to read the Bureaucracy thread to members only?

If we were to do that, we would probably do it by adding a boolean field to every thread that determined whether that thread would be readable by non-members. I don't think it's too difficult to code.
Why would we want to do this?

To keep certain conversations members only. I don't think it's that restrictive. If you want to read bureaucracy, then register as a member of the board.
Wait, we might have people dumping their memberships.

Cindy, added to the requests list. And I think it's probably a good idea.

Before we set the request in stone, I think we'll need to discuss in BUreaucracy, and probably vote on it, because it's more of a policy decision than a technical one. I don't think it should be all that hard to code, because we already do something similar with the user profiles. The question is whether the community thinks it's a good idea. I do happen to think it's a good idea, so I'll work up some sort of proposal, and post it in Bureacracy.
