If signatures are going to be used on the forums then I am 100% of the belief that they should be standardised and exactly worded to the requirements of MSE.
I think there is a lot of ambiguity when simply told to 'state one's professional experience in a subject' without there being a model to follow.
I enjoy posting on this site and do so instead of pulling out the last few remaining hairs on my old head. It is, for me, and excellent wind-down exercise after what is usually a very busy working day.
So do I want them or don't I? It is irellivent really, as the decision will be made by Martin and MSE based on the content of this thread and complaints etc received about signatures/posts I would think.
Whatever is fine by me.

I keep looking at the pros and cons of being AR and DA. My network doesnt interfere and causes no pain at all and some of the things are beneficial. That said, I over pay them for what they provide. I could almost have my own complaince officer for what the network were paid last year. However, going DA would see the levies etc go upI am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0

Damn can't copy and paste the full post for some reason...
anyway .. in fairness I think AS did have website link in profile , so guess recently deleted :T although personally I don't think this a a bad thing ( so long as not referenced) as someone would actively have to look for it
The bit about not having influence, .... I',m sure our views are taken on board .. and a bit of "self regulation " is not a bad thing anywayAny posts on here are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as (financial) advice.0 -

I also find I get no interferance at all from my network. I use their compliance and sourcing system their way, I get left alone. When a case completes I get paid 24 hours later leaving them to wait for the lender to pay up.
Excellent service and hassle free so far.0 -

Pink are a couple of miles up the road from me , suppose was never that interested in their setuo in old packagaing days .. so never on radar as a network for me.
