I notice only the 3rd point has really been answered.

Sounds like a whole lot of bullsh1t to me, but i suppose it makes people on here feel a bit more important.

It is simply an area set up as a troll free enviroment...

Feeling important is vastly underrated

I wouldn't know.

The reason it was set up?
Answer: To try to give an area that is troll free for those that don't want their threads hijacked & destroyed.
The Chookpen Members area is an auto acceptance for applications...means that anyone is granted membership...trolls included.
The Gold Members section is by approval only...if any of these members cause themselves to be banned, then they have to go through the whole auto registration & then approval to get to the Gold Section again...a VERY lengthy process that would stop any troll from exposing themselves in this section, knowing full well their access would be cut off.
The Gold Members section was hand picked by Chris & a few members. The amount of posts had little to do with Gold Membership.
The quality of posts & respect for other posters had a large part in selection. A lesson yet to be learned, by some, it would seem.
Chris & crew have final say on any approvals that the Gold Members suggest for promotion.

Elitist?
No. Born out of frustration from trolls & troublemakers.
If you want to blame someone, blame those idiots.

Elitist IMO very much so and although not there IMO It appears close to a word starting with d. If we like your posts you get in If we dont or you have upset anyone in the higher echelon with your views or anything else you more than likely wont

Not blaming anyone. Personally I am not fussed I was more wondering what it was all about. But your answer pretty much sums up what i thought. Thanks Chook
