Steve,

Here is my vote:

I vote to allow anyone to be allowed to post to the Other Side.

I am a big boy who made bad boy choices. I expect a certain amount of criticism and harassment.

If I do not like what someone decides to post, I can choose to ignore that person or respond in kind.

I do not think the Other Side needs to given the same "care" as the VC. We in the other side have thicker skins than victims overall. Some of us are victims/survivors and most of us have been in jail or prison, and in court in front of an audience of judgemental former fellow citizens.

If one has been in jail for a sex offense and feels they need to run away from an internet message board because of a little harassment, then that person has more problems to worry about and should not be here anyway.

My concern for my people is not who can post in the other side, but more about ensuring we can remain anonymous while we do so.

Thats my vote.

People pay big money to watch sports. Sometimes they are there just as much to watch people they hate as they are there to watch the people they love.

Heated debate in the Other Side is a way for us to get our gladiator fix.

I would like to organize the SOs in theOther Side to band together and simply ignore posts from people who come there to flame. They are looking for a response, if they dont get it, they will stop. It was that way with Prodigy in 1994, it will be that way here.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.

Per the new <a href="http://www.sexcriminals.com/forums/107/17362/166212.html">website policies</a> announced last week:

<blockquote><span class="mb-quote">Posting to The Other Side forum is limited to sex offenders, pedophiles and their friends, relatives and supporters. If the creator of a thread in The Other Side forum is open to others responding, the creator may invite specific users, types of users or all others to respond. Such users should consider themselves guests and are expected to act accordingly.</span></blockquote>

I propose ammending that to allow "regulars" of The Other Side forum to vote on designating users as guests with a standing invitation to post in that forum.  Like everyone, they'd still be subject to the forum rules.

I propose the following.  Limit eligibility to be approved to users who have been posting for a minimum of 30 days and have posted at least 10 posts to any of the forums during the last 30 days or 50 posts total.  With the exception of guests, all users of The Other Side forum who have been posting to that forum for at least 45 days and have posted at least 25 posts all-time to that forum, with at least 5 posts during the last 30 days, shall be eligible to nominate an eligible guest for a standing invitation and cast a vote in any such vote.  Of those who cast a vote, a 2/3 vote in favor is required for approval.  I will maintain a Web page listing who is eligible to vote and who is eligible to be nominated.  At some point it may be necessary to determine how often someone can be nominated and a process for cancelling a standing invitation, but let's not complicate things at this stage.

Thoughts?  Please stay on-topic and please only respond in this thread if you are someone who is currently allowed to post to The Other Side or would like to be able to.
