Sorry not sure what 'open' is so at the risk of being lost in the admin board...
Do you think that the students board should be restricted to those willing to register with a .edu (or international varient) email address - or do you think there should be no restriction on posting, other than that this board is intended for the discussion of student issues (where the interpretation of 'student' can be more liberal)?
I have been having a conversation with Dr. Bob about the students board and thought a poll may be useful...
The board description reads:
'This is a message board for mutual support and education. It focuses on university student issues. Posting is limited to those registered with university e-mail addresses...This doesn't mean just students; other university community members are also welcome to participate'.
Now my thought here is that 'university student issues' aren't just restricted to those with 'university email addresses'. And also: why restricted to UNIVERSITY student issues as opposed to student issues in general? Also: university email addresses enable Dr. Bob (in a moment of boredom) to track down ones real identity, and of course compile stats regarding affiliation etc...
Of course, maybe people have other ideas regarding the students board. Here is a link to the start of the conversation
