[Theforum] Re: [thasite] Priv Levels, Voting App. and UEUE

[Warden, Matt]

i think we've crossed the gray line completely now, so this is just sent
to theforum...

On Nov 1, Michele Foster had something to say about Re: [thesite] Priv...

Maybe. But theprocess also had a fixed membership. or at least not nearly 
as open as theforum. I guess this basically depends on what is decided to
be requirements of a "theforum voter".

+1. They have nothing to do with each other... other than MEO members have
some application process. Making them the same is not a good idea,
IMO... especially if, down the line, the requirements for a MEO account
have to change due to limited hard drive space or bandwith, increased
hooliganism, etc.
