I posted this thread the other night: http://www.electriciansforums.net/e...tes-suggestions/63090-actual-new-threads.html

And it's given me a few things to think about for sure. And a couple we've already been thinking about, but need to action QUICKLY!

However, off the back of that, I felt that a lot of you guys don't understand who reads this forum the most.

So I thought I'd post a poll about it.
 
Vote now mate, you're too quick I hadn't made the poll lol

I'd vote you, if you were an option lol
 
For me it would be the unregistered DIY user, just browsing the web after trying to fit a new gucci electrical item and cocked it up...
 
A lot of the time the unregistered lurkers seem to outnumber the registered members, but unregistered members can only view a certain number of threads per day, whereas a registered member can and probably does spend a few hours on here.

Unregistered readers can often read an unlimited number of publicly-viewable threads. Only every now and again do I need to lock the forum down a bit to stop solicitors and marketing firms and whatnot using the forum to collect info. Very few times do I do that though as it does interrupt the natural flow of readers becoming registered members.
 
I'm guessing there's a 'point' to this, like it's going to be revealed the mods and admins (I don't really understand the difference) read the forum the most and we should all be grateful for that, or the collective general public read the forum the most so we should all watch what we say.
 
DIYer isn't an option in its own right. Any choice out of the options that are there?

No why have you left out the irritating DIYers ?

Very convenient !

I took a weeks ban ( No complaint I deserved it ) for one of them Divvies and yet the forum gods do nothing to filter them, just to remind everyone.............

This forum front page says for 'Electricains'

But you do nothing.............I rest my case

I'm guessing that not much can be done regarding DIYers as we would have to have a vetting procedure in place to prove your an electrician. It wouldn't work. Tel, Tony, Malcolm, E54 and others are struggling to remember what day of the week it is, never mind where they left their hand carved indentures!
