Basement ceiling vapor barrier

Tags: Basement & Foundation
I want to put a plastic barrier up on the basement ceiling because the faberglas insulation that is exposed between the ceiling joists foats around down there. The house is new and the basement is used to workout and as a kids playroom. I plan of refinishing it someday. Will this cause a vapor problem?

If you have temp extremes between the two floors, it could be an issue.
