Someone should make a sticky describing the various "hidden" opt-in selections and how to get to them

Opting in reinforces that point. This has been done succesfully on other board to prevent people from trolling subjects that are sensitive or controversial- "Hey, buddy, you CHOSE VOLUNTARILY to come in here and read stuff......" like that.

Or, people could read the fine print under "Technical Diving (opt-in):
This forum is for divers who wish to venture beyond the recreational limits of diving. Please gain access joining the "Tech Diving Opt-In" group via your User Control Panel.

I was under the impression that you can't see the opt-in forums unless you've opted in. You can see the parent "technical" even if you have not opted-into the sub-sections?

if you haven't opted-in you can see the forum and subforum, but can't access the posts/threads within them.
