@jaredbusch For anyone below Thai, the posts there remain super secret.

@travisdh1 sometimes I enjoy laughing at the daily question. I also lurk around the super secret group section.

Spicy Peppers is not super secret (yes I know Scott like to argue this point) it is an automatic grant to anyone that gets Thai.

Not quite automatic. There is still a selection process. One of the reasons that I gave up Spicy, the key reason, was when I found out that people I had been talking about couldn't see what I was saying because even though they were above Thai, they were not granted Spicy status. There was good reasons for it, but just because you are above Thai does not mean you will get that status. Most do, or did traditionally, but not all.

To my knowledge, only 1 person was banned from it, that is Curtis.

I think banned gives the wrong impression - that he made it and was removed. He never made it.

So I can't just up my post count and automagically hang out with the cool kids?

For all intents and purposes, that would almost certainly work. But there is no guarantee. But the chances are essentially certain.

He did make it and was removed.

It is entirely automated. there is not a selection process. Things change, it has been automatic for more than 5 years.

It is what I was told. Either way, he is an exception to most things and of course any admin can preemptively block any user from any group on any forum. That does not make an automatic thing a selective thing.

If it did, then I could claim that you selectively allow all of us on ML to have access to every category.

Not the same, all categories here are open to the public without registration or identity.

On a tangentially (not really) related note, I just found this.

Yeah, that was a real site for a while. But we didn't make it for a year or two after that. It was like "worldsdumbestitpro.com" or something like that. But eventually once there was ML, we just quoted and screen shot his stuff here instead.
