Developing a website when you have a clear idea of what you want to do but are not 100% sure how to achieve your goals is frustrating.
I know that I want a friendly easy going site with as much flexibility and freedom for the user as possible but I also want it to be closed enough so that it is only Cast Members who can get in to join the community.
What I have opted for is a concept called the honesty gate. I looked at censoring membership applications until I was sure about the applicant, or waiting for other members vouch for new users in the end these ideas seem to have too many issues… so I am opting to use the system most of us use in the real world online. I will trust everyone until I am proved wrong. I am going to choose to believe that every person who wants to joint the community is for real, and I will trust them, until I see otherwise…
Which is why all this is dragging on. Slowly.
