I enjoyed the advisoronline site very much, and read the posts almost daily.

We feel that site has lost its way a little, particularly with the unexplained shutdowns, Motters being no longer a Hillarys advisor and being harassed by them. Our position is as per original statement.

We want this site to be everything that site is/was? and more.

We feel vetting potential members at this stage would be detrimental to its growth.

As far as Hillarys staff posting/reading threads :- catch 22.

If we, collectively are unhappy with something and want action, the only way that it can happen, is, if they know about it. In return we get some disruptive posts (as per the other site) which are quite easy to spot and police. In the early days of the other site, there was some positive interaction, between what is now more commonly referred to as "us and them".

Personally I feel that it would be very difficult to satisfactorily vet those joining. Effective moderation of posts and members would go someway to maintain its purpose. It would be possible to have a second layer of boards/categories with a higher level of security/ vetting process.

The jury is still out on that one, we need your opinions and methods.

We also want this site, to be a fun, and friendly ( well, most of the time) place its members can enjoy.

We also, for all our benefits, old and new, wise and naive, need to heal some wounds.

Did you say "who is Motters " read YOUR above post xxx

Well? Who is "motters" ?

sounds like you have been rumbled mrbs .Nice blog brian mr risman could not put it better himself .

Anyone who was anyone, knew of Motters and what he went through, but his identity, to many remains unknown.
If you think I am Motters you maybe disappointed.
Please feel free to identify me on here or anywhere, I do not fear being "rumbled". Just be sure to get it right, so as not to upset anyone else Mark.
This site is very open, as long as the language is clean and not insulting, posts will remain.
