How do you join the Rules Committee? I see no mention of it anywhere but in these discussions.
When I joined there was a link in the forum description where you can request access The link is still there: it opens up a PM to Gerri Cole. I've never requested access, and don't intend to. | | | Thanks for your support.

I know everyone can join by asking, but never did because it sounds "private elite group" to me and I don't join private elite group...
I always thought they let me in by mistake, so I never wrote anything to avoid detection. I'm glad this was bumped just so I could read that gem. | | | Reviewer, HorrorTalk.com

The link is still there: it opens up a PM to Gerri Cole. I've never requested access, and don't intend to. Where is this link? What's the 'forum description'?  | | | | Last edited: by GreyHulk |

I'm glad this was bumped just so I could read that gem. But it is one... or more precisely an elite group who like to go on endless argument about trivial detail over and over. | | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks for that. No wonder I've never seen it. I always go into the forums via the drop-down menu. I've never actually viewed the 'forum index' page before.  |

It's far from an elite group. If all you have to do to get in is request access, that's not very top secret. It's like complaining that a restaurant is elite because you refuse to open the door to go inside. | | | Reviewer, HorrorTalk.com

My development experience is best described as:
I'll develop plugins for: Commercial sale? Free public download? Private use only?
If you have specific plans for a plugin, please give a brief description: BTW: Am I a member of an Elite-Group because I had to pay a fee to be allowed to post in this forum? | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

BTW: Am I a member of an Elite-Group because I had to pay a fee to be allowed to post in this forum? Depends on your perspective. I consider the fee a license to use certain goods and services, one of which is Forum access. It is just a service, like any other product you pay for. | | | Thanks for your support.

Yes, anyone can join, but by making members request joining it, you keep out a lot of random voices who may have nothing helpful to say and likely wouldn't have given the topic/idea a second thought otherwise.
I agree. I don't see a problem with the current system since it's open to anyone that shows an interest.
--------------- That's not correct. I requested access quite some time ago. Obviously there must be something more to it as I have not been allowed access. |

I think you just have to wait until Gerri takes a look at her PMs. She has a regular job, outside of Profiler, so she may not check in as often as she used to. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
