I belonged to another site for five years where senior members were allowed to host private chat rooms on the site. Unfortunately, they closed the site down in 2015. Lately, it seems that there have been so many new members join who contribute nothing to the conversations and are just here to troll other members. Some threads have more troll posts than substantive posts on the topic of the thread. The advantage is that like-minded members who want to discuss subjects within their primary interest area (such as Kgirls could do so without the interference of the trolls. TER could set the requirements for members to host a private chat room. On the other site I referred to, a host would have to have been a member for at least two years, have a minimum of 100 reviews, and pay a fee to get the portal set up and maintained by the website owner.
The host would set the parameters for discussion and for the minimum requirements for receiving an invitation. (They may have minimum review requirements, geographical limitations, etc., as set up by the host. Access would be obtained by invitation of the host. If a member is invited to join the private discussion room, he would be assigned a password and that would gain access. The private rooms would be unmoderated by TER, but the host would have the right to enforce the rules for posting in the private chat room.
There seem to be a lot of new members who are not here to share information about topics having to do with hobbying. They are just here to create enmity and chaos on the boards. I'm sure there are others here besides me who would be interested in hosting a private chat room on TER that would have the effect of eliminating trolls from the discussions who are only here to disrupt and insult. They join for free, they scarcely write reviews, cause trouble between other members while having no knowledge of the subject matter that they are trolling. IMO, this would make TER a much more inviting venue for serious hobbyists who want to see providers, write reviews (after all, this IS a review site), and discuss various aspects of the hobby without being interrupted and harassed by the trolls. If TER has any interest in considering this, I will be happy to provide more details on how it can work to TER's benefit as well as the members. Its a win-win for everyone except the trolls.
