Some of you guys (and gals) have been on this site for a long time and are very familiar with how things are "expected" to be done. As a new member when I first found this forum there was nothing that immediately told me what the expectations of a "proper" introduction was. Only after posting a basic introduction was I advised of what was expected; and to be honest I felt that the request was a little less than friendly but I decided to play along anyway. I totally agree with the concept of "Professional Plumbers Only" and not allowing DIY'ers to participate, I feel like I can improve my knowledge base by being here. However I do wonder how many potential members that could help this community have been chased away because that were not aware that they were doing things exactly as you wanted.
Only after becoming a member did I go through the site and read old posts and get a better idea of what the "rules" are.
Is there some way that this could be made known before a post can even be submitted?
Even on the thread " New Memeber Introductions " it does not ask for the full length autobiography that you expect.
There is a link on that post that says " Introduce Yourself " which takes you right back to the discussion board, perhaps add a questionare on that link.
Not trying to reinvent the wheel, just trying to get smoother rubber on it.
I know that there are those of you out there just waiting to pounce on something like this to show off your witty prowess but I am quickly growing tired of visiting the daycare.
Just try to consider how many actual members are active right now despite what the membership number says. This has the potential to be a really great place to have good discussions with "Professionals".
Please take this as how it is intended, I am not trying to insult anyone.
