Hi advisor
Not sure if one of the posts you are referring to is me but if it is no offence taken. However I was not indicating having good website is relevant to the value of the contribution of a post, I was just making the point in some circumstances it can help to be able to look at someone’s website or for that matter what they put in their personal profile to help evaluate the quality of the information/advise given.
For example if someone asks a question about Fire Safety in the home and I responded, if they look at my profile they would see I am a retied Fire Officer which I would think would help them evaluate the quality of the information I have given, alternatively if people have no information in their profile it is harder to evaluate the advice given, that isn’t to say it would be any less valuable. As far as numbers of post go, this is to prevent people just joining the forum to start self-promotion without first being a contributing member and nothing to do with quality of the contributor.
I agree it’s difficult to have one size for all and most have recognised this and that’s probably the reason Justin has asked for our opinions, which is one of the other thing I like about EOS he involves the member wherever possible.
