Please read the Do's and Don'ts marked in red if you cant be bothered with these rules we wont be bothered to vet you.
Currently as a standard member you can only see/view about 50% of the forums in our community, the rest is only view-able upon being given Trade access which is not granted to every member that applies. We try to do the best to vet each new applicant to try and ensure they are actually in the trade, so firstly if you object to this please do not apply, secondly you should appreciate that this process takes time, so don't apply if your not prepared to wait (up to a few weeks sometimes) for approval. We vet active members 1st so get posting to jump the queue. You join on the understanding that what goes on in the trade forums stays in the trade forums, this is an area where views are freely expressed and the occasional heated debate may occur.
We have a vast resource of equipment manuals, information and advice, which is entirely generated by our trade members efforts on an unpaid basis. Although we appreciate not everyone will have additional information to provide we still expect discussion and input or a regular basis from all trade members. Periodically we may downgrade trade members who (in our sole opinion) either do not visit often enough or who post very infrequently.
