Why would Admin be writing advice stickys? That was never part of the deal. If you want to write some then go ahead.Its been 3 months and the admin have not yet formulated basic advice and links for diyers regarding safe isolation, labc notification, requirements for testing, esc advice etc etc....
The DIY forum is deliberately opt-in, if you want to be opted out just let me know and I'll do it for you.To be honest I think the best thing I could do is stop going in the DIY section.
meaningless rubbish though isn't it, at least it might cover the website to some extent, but not the professional contributors.As for the legal implications, the forum terms and conditions are here. Everyone on the forum with posting permissions has implicitly agreed to the T&C's when they joined. Included in there and right at the top is a paragraph; It is important to note that all comments on this website are uncorroborated therefore should not be seen as fact but simply the opinion of the person posting the message.

Engineers are no more legally culpable than a domestic electrician. If I acted dangerously or gave dangerous advice during the course of my professional duties the consequences could be greater but I'd face exactly the same charges as would any electrician.meaningless rubbish though isn't it, at least it might cover the website to some extent, but not the professional contributors.
You for instance are listed as being an electrical engineer, therefore any advice you give can be taken as being professional advice, and you as a professional electrical engineer are far more culpable legally if that advice led to an accident than someone who was just a DIYer themselves.
If someone promised to write advice for the DIY section I can assure you it wasn't me. I have no domestic electrical qualification and I have almost no knowledge of the UK regs.It was promised, started, then never finished. I would expect a forum that was actively encouraging DIYers to do electrical work to at least furnish them with basic safety information. It is clear that moral obligation counts for nothing here when you can hide behind legal disclaimers.
Done. If you change your mind let me know.Yes please
