I have a humble suggestion for VNN Forum: a "trusted members forum." This has been a very good thing at another forum I belong to and allows senior members to discuss problems they see with possible infiltrators and generally discuss certain things in private but still in the forum setting. The idea isn't to keep things strictly private (nothing on the internet is "private") but it allows certain members to post things without visitors and new posters seeing them. I believe this can be achieved through V-Bulletin. As far as I know you may already have such a forum for moderators and admins. Perhaps "trusted member status" could be obtained after 500 or 1000 posts. Let me know what you think.
