No offence meant to Danny or any of the PPRUNE team but why PPRUNE as a host for this forum particularly? Why not the good folks at CHIRP themselves? If it is to be a CHIRP discussion forum, can the people who are sent CHIRP reports themselves (I can't remember what qualifies you to receive a CHIRP report?) be the ones who have access to the forum? If, as someone pointed out earlier, the reports are in the public domain, therefore available to anyone, then surely "anyone" should be able to discuss them, rightly or wrongly, accurately or inaccurately?
Its an interesting idea, but I really don't see how you can decide what qualifies (or disqualifies) a person to post on the forum. Take our household, as an example - two aviation professionals, one with 2 ATPLs and an aviation career within and outwith the airlines, the other with 2 PPLs and a phenominal knowledge of aviation - which one should qualify?
If I had to send a photocopy of my licence, and if I were a very cautious, suspicious person, what proof could I be given that this copy is read and destroyed immediately so that no one else has access to it etc, etc. I just had to email a copy of my passport and licence to the TSA, and that made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck, even (or maybe because of?) sending to those folks.
I think, aside from the nonsense that appears on here, the exchange of knowledge from all over the world and all different facets of aviation is what makes this forum so interesting and informative. To restrict a forum to only a select bunch of aviation people would undoubtedly separate the wheat from the chaff, but I fear you would also lose an awful lot of the wheat too.
Another thought - aren't quite a lot of the subjects or situations reported to CHIRP already discussed, directly or indirectly, on a daily basis here in a variety of the forums?
