I think it's fair to say that the candid section is one of the more controversial parts of this site.
And because of this it would be wise to make this section a members-only area.
In case this site gets into hot waters again people would come here and be expectedly repulsed and this could cause trouble for the shooters.
Popular sites like Thecandidforum do the same and it would give us an extra-layer of protection.
Also, making an account for this site shouldn't be a problem for like-minded individuals.

Good idea
