Van Stickers For The Forum

Lou · Aug 30, 2016

We're getting some van stickers made. What would you want on them?

I'm thinking for the trusted advisors having some sort of wording denoting that they're a trusted advisor would be cool. A nice plug for them.

Then some standard ones perhaps saying 'I'm a member of ElectriciansForums.co.uk' or something? Does that really say enough though?

How about "see you in the electricians arms"?

Knobhead · Aug 30, 2016

I spend a lot of time trying to persuade people not to advertise they have a van full of loot.

They need better van security, tool insurance, and don't leave the tools in the van overnight then.

For those that do want stickers, what would you want on them?

Come on, any van whether signwritten or anonymous is a potential target for opportunist low lives.

True that. Had mine done twice and both times van was plain. Both times when working in Manchester though....

My girlfriend would take the p*ss out of me even more if I had a sticker.

Dave OCD · Aug 30, 2016

I want a '46' VR sticker for my van.

'electricians forum member, ps no tools left in this van overnight'

GMES · Aug 30, 2016

I want the sticker to the right of this screen shot , red lipstick and green vest.

This one's quite good, apart from the spelling mistake:

@Dan i like this idea.

Electriciansforums.co.uk member.

No tools in here overnight.

I prefer the hot chick one but it might be wise to have ElectriciansForums.co.uk Member

I wondered about having a star or some rosette on there but perhaps that'd be misleading as you wouldn't particularly need to earn it?

Perhaps everybody with over a few hundred posts gets entitled to one, and we check they sound like they know what they're doing on the forum, so it's peer-voted kinda situation so it actually has some value?

No hot chick ones!

Basically to save complication for me as it'll be me that sorts it most likely, I think all the mods, trusted advisors and members of the arms get a sticker.

That way we know they've been here a while and give good advice and time to the forum.

Dan · Aug 30, 2016

Yeah that might be wise.

I wouldn't mind the trusted advisor ones saying something like 'I'm a trusted advisor at ElectriciansForums.co.uk' or something.

GMES · Aug 31, 2016

Can we have a few of these please Louise.

Lou · Aug 31, 2016

It's too early for such filth pmsl

Wilko · Aug 31, 2016

Only one ever seemed to work for me was " Danger Live Spiders Inside " . The state of it, it was probably true as well.

GMES · Aug 31, 2016

Like the Avatar of Spot!! :bananas:

Taylortwocities · Aug 31, 2016

I do not have any room for another sticker on my 'van' !

expand the forum activity into and including a registered CPS scheme. £20/year membership, 5 yearly inspections, and free notifications. make up van stickkers as "EF Approved Contractor" with a decent logo, and pass the cost on to the forum sponsors.

That sounds like we can attract complaints then for work I couldn't guarantee. I only guarantee my own work.
