any of you. I live in west
Oakland but I belong to Noisebridge! Absurd.
I agree with an earlier poster that it is valuable to make members/
people work for what they get. Not giving ppl 24 h access is as justifiable
for that reason as it is for the safety reasons.
I suggest you adopt the age-old policy of having to get a current
member to recommend you in order to be a full member (24-h access). Someone
like me could become a partial member immediately, with limited access, and
then I would have to meet some people and get one (or two, if that's the
rule) to sign off on me being a full member. It sounds exclusive, but it's
actually already how communities work.
