Idea for a new sub forum

[Tahuyaman]

Evidently there are some who have a problem with the fact that this is a public and open forum. These people seem to believe that others can't join in a discussion without their approval.

Why not not develop a sub forum where participants need an invitation from the thread creator? .The creator can extend this invitation or people can request the invitation.

Is this possible?

I could go for that if there was a provision that said the thread starter could not thread ban anyone he invited to join the discussion.

We have one already, although you have to get a Mod to set it up.

I'm talking about a general discussion forum with multiple participants. Not a "one on one" thing.

Technically, a "one on one" debate has included more than two people previously.

There are zero threads in the "one on one debate room". Obviously a one on one debate isn't a popular concept here. I can see why that's the case.


There are threads in the "open debate room," but an invitation to participate is not required.

Threads are no longer visible after a period of inactivity. We didn't have many one on one threads- probably under 10.

Do you mean a chat room

Do you mean a chat room

We have those already. Groups. The person who makes the Group topic allows whichever member they want. The only flaw with it is you don't get notice of new posts.

Isn't it the case that with chat rooms only the participants can see the discussion, and anyone who sees the discussion can also participate? If one's intent is to provide what amounts to a performance, consisting of one's own words and only those of a selected few, restricting who can see it works at cross purposes to that aim.
