In other forums I'm on there's boards where when you post, it's only visible to the OP and the mods of the forum (in this case the FAAs). So this would mean the OP would be able to see and get replies from the FAAs but not other members. I think this is a better solution and eliminates any attention seeking which sometimes occurs. After all the FAAs are the only people qualified to give advice short of seeing a professional.
I really think thats a good idea however;

With a public forum other people can give the person support, ideas and links to helpful information, which makes it easier for us.
The whole reason the board is there seems to be that then other members can try and help if a FAA isn't available.
Therefore we may aswell not have the board and just a PM service (as that is basically what it would be anyway) which unfortunatly the FAA's can't really cope with (not through lack of ability but lack of staff)
