Thoughts? A sub-forum that only Hawthorn fans can view?

[H2F]

Count me in.
Especially Rusty's training reports

Patience ... patience...

 

[keefriffhard]

Sounds great to me.

I think that the only way to work out who gains access is by the Mods. You guys have a pretty good idea who most regular posters are and what they contribute. I'd think that you would have a fair idea already with Rusty's list etc.

 

[mighty_fighting]

Sounds awesome - I would love a place to chat without fear of trollers etc. This is why I stick mainly to the hawks board.
I think invitation via mods or even application through the mods - password protected obviously.
Mods would be able to see where members have posted previously and whether or not they are dodgy, or are useful contributors. They would take into account the number of years etc.........
Membership numbers are out for obvious reasons when ticketing etc.

Great idea phil


mojo can u stop holding hands now??

 

[frankc]

Great idea.

 

[hawkstars]

I'd be interested!

 

[LuvMyHawks]

An excellent idea. So much "crap" on the main forum at times.
The Mods have a pretty good idea how many of us are genuine Hawk lovers. Entry by password only is a great idea.
A lot of work for mods though. But a Terrific Idea!!!
Count me in..
Phil, do you know how the Tigers set up their board only? Maybe they can give us a few ideas.

 

[razarback]

Even though I don't post much i would love to be included.

 

[hawkstars]

I have a better idea for entry. Entry is only admitted once the membership number is plugged in!

No deal!

on second thoughts I think it should be exclusive, not to the point that only a select 20 can get in. But something like 50 posts or something from a member that supports hawthorn, just so we dont have an opposition member creating a hawthorn account then getting instant access to this private forum?

 

[hawka_fan]

Yeah id be interested, how about you have to have signed up for a month at least and about 100 posts, just for the point that roughie made above, you dont want richmond trolls making new accounts.

 

[buddylove_23]

I like the idea and i'd be up for it.
Membership number sounds like the best option.
Just Hawks.

 

[justthedukes]

Not a bad idea at all. Membership number sounds good.

 

[Roughie]

1) Could anyone fabricate member numbers? And is there anyway to check if the member number is legit

2) There are some kids on here that may not be able to afford a membership, I know this year I couldnt get one for my self for personal reasons, so there should be some exceptions to some people, esspecially the youngn's who cant get their parents to buy them one and their paper delivery cant cut enough money for one.

 

[cambo39]

Just want to see whether there's enough interest from you guys.

The other mods and myself have been considering starting an invitation only sub-forum that Hawk fans alone can view.

The point of this isn't to become clique like certain other Hawthorn fan-forums, but instead to ensure that things such as training reports and confidential reports made in regards to the club (i.e draft knowledge) can be discussed by Hawthorn fans without the fear that non-Hawthorn fans may be able to view it.

Thoughts? Do you guys think there's enough interest for it?

Thanks

PLEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

dont make it membership, make it 100 posts on hawksboard/mustardpot, and maybe 6 months on bigfooty regurarly. also what are we going to do if someone with an unsuspicious username(like their real name) changes their team to the hawks? we wouldn,t know

 

[Jonathan]

I like the idea, though I probably wouldn't qualify.
I'm a member so I could provide the number if that's the way you choose to go.
I don't post much but I enjoy reading the reports and that sort of thing.

Yeah I think it would have to be semi exclusive, to the point where the Moderators have to be familiar with the poster to think they were genuine enough.

 

[B&YBlood]

definately interested sign me up!

 

[DESTRUKTOR]

I think it is worth consideration. But to limit it to numbers of posts does not work. I'm sure I am not alone, but I am not a big poster, but regular. I don't care to jump into speculative threads, or play fantasy footy (though I love the hawks posters team, vote 1 Glenn DESTRUKTOR).
I think a requirement should be someone who has popped up here and there (or more) for a couple of years who obviously bleeds brown and gold.
I go to the Hawks forum practically everyday, but may post 10 times in a week, then not once for a month or two.
Period of bigfooty membership would help eliminate false names who make up details etc to stir the (mustard) pot.
I'm not sold, but certainly interested in the idea. Good one Phil.

Well in that case I think it should be truly moderators choice. I know you may not post much but I know I am familiar with you and your posts thus you would be an accepted member. I think we all have a solid grasp of who the 'known' members are.

 

[CAPTAINCRAWF]

Excellent idea

Most people could scan the back of their membership card and use as an attachment to prove membership??

or you could even just apply to be in the group and the moderators could check previous threads to ensure member is actually a Hawks supporter?

 

[crannypeter]

dudes membership not good id3ea i do not have a memebershop i just sneak in eacj week but i can probably get a membership card anyway dudes

 

[hawks_legends]

sounds good to me
