As long as the member contributes fishing reports to the forum, the access to read the report forum is maintained. If the member stops contributing after a certain period of time, the access to view report is revoked until a new report is posted.

It encourages participation. Sure, it's not a forum for everyone (since people like to freeload), but the quality of the members is greatly improved. It's just a matter of quality vs. quantity. It's useless having 5000 members when only 50 of them are contribution anything worthwhile to the forum. I'd rather be on a forum where members are active contributing and helpful to each other, both online and in person.

MuskyBait when I was first drafting a plan for the reports, this was my ideal. I haven't learned to program it yet, and I'm not sure it's entirely possible on the current MyBB platform OSF runs on.

If you ever hear about a method to implement this, let me know.

I haven't looked into the programming enough to say yay or nay yet.
