As you can imagine, the nature of this proposal sparked some discussion among our moderators, and they rightfully trashed the thread.
I brought this back into the Skunk Works forum to make an important point related to the concept presented.
This Idea Is Contrary To The "ATS Way"
The thought of a private hand-selected "jury" passing judgement on the validity of any given topic is not only against what we represent, the very
idea is intensely distasteful to me.
We examine the viability of our subjects in the open, where all can contribute to the exchange of ideas, facts, findings, and speculations.
A wide-open discussion thread with a diverse mix of participants is the best way to examine all sides of an issue... then it's up to the reader to
consider the material presented and come to their own conclusions.
