Change "Arms Access" banner / tag to "Pro Electrician" "Professional"?

What would you guys say?

I assume everybody with the current Electricians Arms tag is an actual Professional Electrician? (Been a while since I've admin'd here to be fair)

So I'm squishing out content that doesn't make sense to a newbie to make it a bit more appealing.

Wondering if 'Pro Electrician' (needs be short) would be better than "Electricians Arms Member" or any version of that that's shorter.

So just to make this clear - this is a yes or no option and we don't have time to discuss lots of other options. It's either change it to Pro Electrician, or keep it as Arms Access.

At least for now lol

Poll runs for 2 days.

GO!

Edit: I've changed the question.

When I Applied for mine, I was pleased to find that I had to supply relevant information to prove that I was actually and currently working as a professional electrician.
if everyone has been through a similar vetting process the odds are good!!
I wasn’t vetted. Possibly because I’ve been an active member since 2015.

I’ve noticed a few members are joining the forum and I suspect some are saying they are trainees or returning to the industry or just qualified in order to get more advice than we would give to DIY ers.

I only suspect this, but their terminology or knowledge lets them down quite often and they get caught out. At this point I stop contributing to the thread.

Trainees, or ones with the tag, are vetted by the admins. They have to prove where they are studying etc..
