Not sure what I am missing here. But if the guy is a member of RO board, I am not sure what is to be gained by not letting people know and hiding it, other than just being secretive for the heck of it.
It would be a good idea to have the ability to input a fellow monger's userid and see if the said monger is part or not part of the RO board. Say you are talking to a fellow monger over PM, and you want to reference something that was said on RO Board, such ability might help you double check if member is part of RO board or not to begin with. If he is not, then you might not even want to start the conversation. If he is, then there is no harm.
For the place that leaks like sieve, it seems a little ironic that someone would care this much, but some of us do actually care for integrity.
he is a member?
Or what if someone is a member but only posts there under alias? That could be a way to out an alias.
If someone doesn't want others to know that they are a member of that board, should everyone be able to find out anyway?
I'm not answering my own question yet. I am not sure if it's a good or bad thing. I can see some arguments on both sides. I'm just throwing out some "what ifs" for discussion, before considering your proposal.

I don't recall any initiation ritual when I joined, but that was 9 years ago, so maybe there is now? VIP is not a prerequisite, is it?
So, you can just look up and see how many reviews the guy has and that should tell you.
When you click onto the RO board you get this message.............
If you have written at least 10 or more approved reviews and would like to be part of this board, please contact us with your TER username. Please put "Reviewers only board access" in the subject line.
You sound paranoid... avoid the noid.
