Should there be a 2391 Arms?

This forum IMHO, is the best there is.

yeah i think you're right. It's a great forum.
Knowledge sharing has always happened throughout civilization. I know there are other factors involved, but just as a comparison on an ozzy forum if a DIYer asks for info everyone sticks together and says "you need to be licensed' ...go away. Then they continue to earn their average sparks wage of £20 per hour.

I sought of sit on the fence with regards to helping clearly inexperienced people. My worry is that anyone gaining advice from us sparks will not have the necesary instument to prove there work is good and ensure they dont injure/kill a member of their family.

But I gotta say, electricians are a special breed and I love to use this place to keep in touch and discuss grey areas... Congrats to the forum gaffer on a really special site.

I wonder how many other trades sit after a hard days work and read/write about their jobs?

I don’t think people who don’t have 2391 should be banned, even if it is only one category. Apart from the fact that proving a 2391 might be difficult (and easy to fake also), I think there are many people which are not experienced electricians (me included) who enter here just to find advices for things they like to do for themselves around the house. I am not giving too many advices because there are so many experienced people here that know much more than me, but I learned a lot of things here already (some of them I applied in my home).
