I have been on numerous forums of all types, and there are some that have "Restricted Areas", i.e., (in FC's case) Retail Store Owners only, Employees Only, Wire Service Reps/Emps only, Wholesalers only, etc etc. This would allow some discussions/opinions that may otherwise be kept withheld due to not wanting everyone to be privy to the type of information. Some examples would be 'employee wages', 'my boss is a jerk', 'how do you handle a shop that does this..', etc.
It would allow open discussion without fear of retaliation. I myself have held back not knowing if my employee may be reading, or a wire service rep, or a wholesaler. There are also some questions people may want to ask, but don't feel comfortable asking in front of the whole industry.
What's your opinion, and do you think it would be a benefit to the overall forum?
