    At the end of the day whether I am in agreement or not with signatures, links, email address', etc etc etc the decision on what will happen is not one that I can made nor influence.

    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.
    This guy talks sense,he is on this forum to relax,no pressure,that cannot be said of all posts.

    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 up

If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.
  • Hmm yes I will copy and paste me original question on the small business board or whatever its called.

    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 anyway

    Website was actually linked previously, until perhaps yesterday or today. However I agree with you about Andrews principals in general and am not questioning his integrity.

    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.

    Yes I have heard many good things about Pink Homeloans, and, not being rolling in cash myself the idea of cash on completion appeals.

    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.

    Lisa ... not rolling in cash .... I had 2 people email me about your recent post on Business board about how much can be earned as a broker ??
