Be heard on the issues that matter most to you!
Should people who register get to make "profiles" (that's a built in function, but we can use it or not as we like). If so, what kinds of information should we encourage/allow people to provide? What questions should be on the profile form?

For that matter, what level of access do you get when you register?
Does anyone who wants to register get a full blog, or are certain
levels of access invite-only? I'd kind of like the basic level of
access be one that lets you comment, and maybe participate in a
forum/bulletin board (if such a thing is included), but have the blog
entries restricted to people who have proven themselves. (actually originally posted to google doc by Chris Hall)

The settings right now allow registered users to have blogs. As you've
seen with your own entry, blogs here are not quite like blogs on, say,
Wordpress in terms of customizability and aesthetics. And I'd like them
to be at least related to issues of sexuality, so they're not
completely open in that sense (in that they should fit with the site).
We can set up as many levels of access as we want. For example, we
could create tiers of members if we wanted, where people have to
participate at a certain level before being given blogs. What might
that level be? How would they "prove themselves"? Would it be by
posting in forums a certain number of times? By being members a certain
length of time? It's something to think about. Chris, can you see the
"manage users" menu? If so you can see what kinds of access people have
depending on their roles. Let me know what you think.
