We are constantly having to answer the same questions over and over.
I sympathize with you. One idea is to have topic generation be moderator-approved, maybe not forum-wide, but on a few boards. In that case, whenever a new topic on said boards appear, we would know that it has moderator approval and therefore shouldn't be a rehash of previous discussions.

Are you for or against a private area for certain Brain Meta members?
for
certain members? Sounds exclusive. What criteria would you apply to select the lucky members? Who would have access to the private boards?

I also would like to see a 'reference' list, by member, of their current stance (ie., beliefs) on major issues like the definitions and existences of truth, reality, god, free will (and similar).
not everyone is a dogmatist. Many of my own beliefs are probabilistic, so I'm not sure how that would fit into the scheme you're proposing.

The Invisible Tea Club on Brain Meta
I suggest the list of the following people, those who will be added later on should be voted unanimously by those who are in the list, if a single person from the list will be against adding a new person to the list, then the candidate will be temporarily discarded; if other members continue to insist on new candidate at presence of objections on behalf of the others, then from the Level 1 (The Initial Chamber) of the Hidden Forum the Level 2 (The Chamber of Communion) should be generated where the List + 1 will have access:
Shawn, lucid_dream, trojan_libido, Lindsay, Rick, Lindsay, Rick, rhymer, code buttons, maximus242, Dan, Dianah, cerebral, Orbz, Flex, Hey Hey, Trip like I do, Culture, kortikal, Enki.
this is an interesting proposal. It could be done, but would it actually be used. I couldn't help noticing several prominent members are not on the list, which again brings up the question of how to select individuals who have access. You could have several private boards, each board being like a clique, but how many cliques would you have? It's possible.
