FOOD FOR THOUGHT

[Straight Shooter]

The traffic light system.
I made a remark in a thread recently with regard to" Introduce yourself " and a lack of new members ...i have thought for quite some time now of encouraging a reversal of the present trend of NEWBIES so here go,s

LIGHT IS RED
this means newbies only can respond to a thread...the reputation rating would take care and trigger this say o to 3 no one above can participate in the discussion they get all the time to themselves no other members above the 3 could enter in....except the mods .

LIGHT IS AMBER

this means the rep rating increases from o to 10 say ...all members from 0 to 10 can now interact in the threads up to that.


LIGHT IS GREEN

All members may participate in a full discussion of any thread.


SO why SS ?
this might be a way forward for fair play for people who need the most help, and a way to make members stop and think before they respond ...and in a better frame of mind , this also gives the newbies confidence to post without the instant threat of ridicule or some degrading put down or being raped on the spot of any confidence they mustered up to start with.

Now i have no doubts there are plenty of holes in the above but inaction is even worse ...please indulge yourselves kicking the shit out of me and the concept...this may result in more work for SD but i expect he is all charged up waiting to full fill my every whim .
