[QUOTE=EE-BO;1333459]That is true, but the problem is that then the world would know which GC users were pursuing AI in a given sorority. It would remove any privacy or anonymity for those seeking advice.... To elaborate, with anonymity, the "advice" is useless. If people are trying to join an organization that only does AI under very specific circumstances, no amount of "go Harry Potters!" will make an advice seeking thread useful for them. Without anonymity, these threads are inappropriate for almost all organizations- the response to "I'm trying to join XYZ" will almost always be, "please talk to someone in real life." I don't know any organization that would say, "Here's all the info you need, right here on the internet."

You would basically either need to have moderators that were not GLO-members and could not be of assistance, or you would be asking GLO members to take on a task that their GLO headquarters would not want them to perform. Which is what we have now with the current forum. We have non-members of a specific organization encouraging people to seek membership in that organization, and we have people trying to give out misinformation.


AI candidates have no such restrictions, so you have the few who are pursuing it in the right way and just want some advice or a place to share their stories Most of these women? Wind up becoming members and can THEN share their story.

AND you also have those who are seeking AI for the wrong reasons and have no trouble saying whatever they want- or even spreading false information about a given GLO. Sing it. This is the problem the AI subforum engenders.
