What do you think?

I agree with the idea, as you already know.

I think you become a Senior Member when you hit 100 posts here anyway?

This is just MY opinion as there is obviously some background to this that I am unaware of, but... If we choose to put piccies on a "public forum" then we choose what we put out there in the public.

Even with this "100 posts gets you into restricted areas" thing, I really don't see that working to stop the types of people how are going to missuse this right to access areas.

I know it's nice to share pics of our kiddies but I always think before I post (i.e. the nuddie rudie ones) as this is a website that is just as open to hackers/lurkers as the photo storing ones.

The whole thing is that if you have a restricted area or an area where you need approved access to then it's a lot more work for people to see the photos who you don't want seeing the photos. (did that make sense!?) Yeah if people are determined enough they could still access but at least it is a measure of saftey.
