Hi admin
following the posting of this thread, abiding by the details therein and in the interests of creating an even playing field for all, may I respectfully point out that there are currently 3 experts whose posts contain either a contact number, other than the free helpline number, or web links to their own site.

Hi skippy
may I bring to your attention as mediator for this part of the forum that one expert and one new member are currently posting with advertising links at the foot of each post contrary to the etiquette rules of the forum as set out above.
However, if it is the case that this particular condition within the etiquette rules has been reviewed and amended please advise via the forum.
Many thanks.

I've emailed Admin for clarification.

Experts are invited to post their links .. ordinary members are not.
Please contact admin offline John if you have a query.

But your original post, admin, clearly states "No advertising links are allowed".
Bearing in mind that some "ordinary members" as you put it are being classified as experts too.
I think John is totally in order asking the question for us all to see. After all we are all members be it ordinary or expert and it's always good to see where we all stand. |

I doubt those 'ordinary' experts have any links to post.
If they do, and it is normal advertising i.e. not for a debt site, then I am sure they will be removed.

As I presume the comment was directed at me as I am one of the ordinary experts I can say that Jan is right, I don't have any links to post or anything to advertise. I post on the forum in my own time hoping that my experiences of BR can help other people.

What is it with this "IVA band of merry men" all sticking together sniping at people all the time??
This is why this site fell apart a couple of months ago and we lost some bloody great members - me being one of them!
Thought I'd give it one more try but it will never be what it was.
Back to Money Saving Expert for me - no judging or recommending people or sites to contact.
I just hope John sticks around to carry on the great advice he gives. Otherwise the way you attack people with a view, it's gonna be deja-vu for you guys. |

If you look on the expert link, it clearly states on there that links to their own debt websites are allowed.
It is not a case of IVA people sticking together, I was merely pointing out that ordinary experts won't have any links.
No one is judging anyone or recommending anyone.

I agree with hadenuff and John here
I too do not post anymore, however come to the site to see what advice non br people are giving - its terrible advice and even one of the professional experts has got advice wrong.
Jo got treated disgraceful by this site after everything she did....and now (no matter what anyone says) IVA people are sticking together and advertising.
My opinion only, however the members are missing out on real advice for people who dont know what they are talking about.

I'm not siding with anyone, or ganging up with anyone, and I'm not sure who the 'IVA people' are that are advertising.
I really don't think that dragging up the past is doing anyone any favours and makes the forum look petty and childish. Pretty ironic really as it's being posted on the forum etiquette thread!

There has been a post to say what is and is not allowed, and people have the right to their opinion and to point out when people are ignoring the rules set....you cannot have 1 rule for 1 and 1 for another.
Its also childish to block peoples access to the site, however no doubt you dont want that to be announced. Better to be said here than on the forum boards.

You will find that it is Admin who block posters. Moderators cannot do that.
