Do we have a section accessible only to specific members

[robelneo]

I don't know if this was asked before. I'm asking out of curiosity: do we have, or used to have, a section of this forum that was only accessible to specific groups, like moderators' lounge or donors' lounge, or was manually added to a section?

SMF has a feature where groups can access  boards if the Administrator has allowed it in the forum settings

[_act_]

I think there could be for moderatore and admin, but that we do not know about. They will only make it visible and accessible to themselves if possible and not for members.

But about others like donors lounge and others, there is nothing like that on this forum.

Edit:

rat03gopoh gave a very perfect answer to the question below.

I was wrong when I thought that it doesn't have but I find out three different sections that requires a specific ranks to be able to make post in those sections. The serious discussion board, Ivory Tower board, Investment board requires Jr. Member rank, full member rank, and member rank respectively before you can post there.

Then, there's also some threads like the Updated List of Bitcointalk Hidden Pages/Post and
BitCoinTalk hidden pages - undocumented features and
Hidden pages/ features on the forum

There's also List of Bitcointalk donators

Hope you can make one or two discovery from the links I shared.

Yes we have it all,

Donator's board:

We have our own board and staff members are also allowed to participate there. However, it is quite lonely.

I once saw a global staff member or mod mention that they were discussing action on a reported post on their dedicated board, but I couldn't find it. Clearly, they have one.

Edit: I found it in another statement

Just the Staff section for Staff and the Donator board for donators (but Staff can also see/post in there). There are currently no other 'hidden' boards.

From my search, Bitcointalk doesn't have sections that are only accessible to specific members but I find out that three different sections requires a specific ranks to be able to make post in those sections. The serious discussion board, Ivory Tower board, Investment board requires Jr. Member rank, full member rank, and member rank respectively before you can post there.

Yeah, the Serious discussion board allows members to post but they can't post images until they have acquired a full member rank. I don't know if this has always been the rule or it was recently placed (that is the rule that members aren't allowed to post images) either way, maybe with time there won't be such restrictions.

You did not understand OP's question. Links to topics shared by you are about pages that don't know by most forum members. They are all can access those pages if they know these page links. Like the list of donators page, I can access it, so can you and so can other forum members.

Only boards that are limited to forum admins, global moderators, moderators and VIP members, Donator members are considered as specific accessible sections asked by OP.

There are some boards (Serious discussions, Ivory Tower) that are accesible by everyone but limited to who can make posts.

Two new no-signature boards

True, we do have the Donator board and Staff forum not accessible to all members- that was some digging btw

There is another section that is only accessible to forum staff. But I won't say which one 😉

Hahah that should be the T. Board - you already know the full meaning

Yes there are boards like that before now I long knew there were boards specifically for moderators and to add to this of recent I was surfing through the forum recently and I came across the donation area where there was a list of all the donators. There it was written boldly that donators have their own board.

Well to add to that mods can also access the board too. But the thing is majority of the donators are inactive.

Having a staff only members are allowed make sense if there is to be any segregations on people who are allowed into a section or now.
But just like OgNasty said it is lonely I can strongly believe that that board or section will be boring and strictly for forum related matters and most forum related matters are usually brought here so that section should be for selected reasons and may not be active frequently.

Lemme guess... that must be the TrashTrumpcoin board?
I already thought the rumors were true that he had learned secretly how to deploy meme here.😏

To add again, donations are no longer allowed. And we still have some donators actively in the forum the last time i checked.

What does this have to do with anything? This page is accessible to all users without exception, and here they are talking about hidden sections that are not accessible to everyone.

I recommend that the author close the topic to avoid further spam.

I meant that if anyone finds any hidden page, he could report on the email listed on the page , https://bitcointalk.org/sbounties.php.

Sorry, if I was not clear.
