[sudo-discuss] Instant 24/7 access? Do we allow for this? And how?

[Sonja Trauss]

Hi I'm totally new here and I don't know any of you. I live in west Oakland
but I belong to Noisebridge! Absurd.
I agree with an earlier poster that it is valuable to make members/ people
work for what they get. Not giving ppl 24 h access is as justifiable for
that reason as it is for the safety reasons.
I suggest you adopt the age-old policy of having to get a current member to
recommend you in order to be a full member (24-h access). Someone like me
could become a partial member immediately, with limited access, and then I
would have to meet some people and get one (or two, if that's the rule) to
sign off on me being a full member. It sounds exclusive, but it's actually
already how communities work.
