Jason: Nope, Members only can only be read by Bishop and above.
It looks like others like this board this way - myself, I find it pointless since if pawns & other non-black rooks want to comment, they will just start a coversation on other boards - leading to having the same conversation on multiple boards - and if that is going to happen, why even start a conversation here - might as well start it on the board where it could end up at.
Again.... my opinion as I already see others have different opinions which is great - I can as quickly take this board off favorites list as quickly as I added it. Have fun everyone.
