You get in after 60/60 and staff votes on whether you are a good fit. You get kicked out permanently if you fuck up.
My only worry, and it's a big one, is that all substantive conversation would migrate into that forum, and the outer forum would be a shit show, and we'd dry up on new membership.
This leaves out like 70% of the members here. Plus, it's subjective to the opinions of the staff. If the majority don't like a person, no matter how many quality posts they provide, then the majority wins and the person is now unable to participate and there goes one of the forum's decent debaters.
This plan will not work. Plain and simple. It just won't work considering how many variables there are.
Except if we were to implement such a thing, we'd give ourselves non subjective criteria just like we do for all of our other subjective decisions. It's why we dont make decisions based on whether we like people or not elsewhere.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
