Pull up a seat, courto is about to explain something that shouldn't be so hard to explain, but it'll probably take five days to read anyway.
As vicki says, I'll break this down crayola style
under your username you may or may not have noticed that it says something about you being some sort of patient or addict. awesome, right?
Newbie - 0 posts needed
New Recruit - 1posts needed
New Admission - 10 posts needed
Short-Term Patient - 100 posts needed
Serious Addict - 500 posts needed
Long-Term Patient - 1000 posts needed
Permanent Patient - 2000 posts needed
but what does it mean?
Newbies: people that have registered but haven't introduced themselves. They only have access to New Patients (though if logged out they can also read Laboratory, lol)
New Recruits:
this is what I just changed. Before, after you made an introductory post, you then had access to all the forums New Admissions do. And while we don't really get many trouble makers around here, this is something I've been wanting to fix. So now these members don't have access to the personal forums (everything under Narcissistic Tendencies) and some of the more creative forums. I'll add a list at the end of the post of what they can and cannot access.
New Admissions: they have access to everything but pediatric ward (no pedos plz), sexual deviance, and the ladies room.
Short-Term Patients and above have access to all the boards.
Here is the list of what New Recruits can and cannot access:

I am open to bumping uP the number of posts needed and also adding/removing access to any boards anyone is comfortable with newer people having access to.
TL;DR - beefed up security. personal stuff is more private. courto likes to type.
