    Not to rain on anyone's parade, but this could be a nightmare for moderation. There is no way to limit a forum to invitees only, other than by removing default access by members and creating a user group for that forum and then granting additional permissions to members to give them access. It would be impossible to grant and remove permissions on a thread by thread basis because more than one thread may exist at a time. Therefore you are left with a forum on the honor system i.e. that only the invitees would post in any given thread and essentially moderation would have to remove anyone who trespasses. This is why Groups exist, but even there, participation is not limited on a thread by thread basis.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    No, I want the forum to stop being used as a platform to promote misinformation, lies, and hate. I guess another option is to just stop participating on the forum.....shrug.

    Good idea.

    Also, I'm tired of seeing the front page flooded with threads that are promoting false information. What is the forum doing to reduce the spread of misinformation.
    Well, we can't ban all the Liberals, so we are kind of stuck with it.
