Thanks for publishing the chart. It is useful for the many new users on this forum like myself. The subject title initially made me think this post was about etiquette with providers but it is import ...
Regarding RA1, sexyloser is right in that it (with regards to normal viewing: access this site and clicking on the thread) doesn't do too much and is essentially 0.
I can view RA1 posts without having to log in.
Now, does that prevent things like Google's webcrawlers/spiders from being able to access it?
I'm not sure honestly. But a quick Google search did not result in me finding the RA1 post you had made, so maybe?
Now, with regards to anonymity, I also agree that post with more detailed information should be less accessible.
Brand new accounts are given RA10 right off the bat.
So anyone with an account (who hasn't been penalized) or anyone who wants to make a new account, can assess those threads without too much restriction.
And while nice to be able to just jump onto the site and quickly glance at a few threads without logging in, RA10 really should be used more since the restriction it applies is really the bare minimum.
When making my 1st review, I debated on whether or not to make it RA20, since I was also debating on how detailed should the post be.
I do agree with the opinion that more detailed threads should be harder to access, for provider safety.
The problem is, the jump from RA10 to RA20 is quite large, and not something I even have.
I actually had a chuckle thinking whether or not I'd even be able to read/access my own threads.
I think something like RA 15 would strike a good balance.
Unless you make an absolute banger of a post, getting to RA 20 takes quite a bit of time...
Something like an RA 15 would make it so you can't just make a new account to access sensitive information, but you'd really only have to contribute a couple times to see less detailed sensitive threads. |
