Posted: 2/24/2012 9:27:14 PM Voted "open forum, public icon". Any Brother that wishes to conceal their involvement (I don't understand why) can do so by simply not getting the icon. By keeping the forum public we invite people to ask about Masonry. By displaying Icons we remind ourselves to act accordingly in our posts and show the rest of the forum that we are men of morals and integrity. TBS I'm listed as an E-Mason on the Grand Lodge of Alabama's website, will you need further proof?

Posted: 2/25/2012 12:22:00 PM Grand Lodge of Alabama has a voluntary E-Mason listing. If you sign up other Masons can search for you by name or lodge and find your contact info based on what you allow to be revealed. It also allows access to our Grand Lodge forum. To be listed on the E-Mason listing means the Grand Lodge has vetted you. I know that any Brother on the listing is a Mason in good standing.

Or at least certain issues. There are public discussions that can be had in GD, but a private forum would be nice.
