Hi jimboy124, IMHO this is an interesting post in which youāve put a couple of questions that need good answers.
Iād like to be able to give you good answers to those questions, but could you please help me to understand them first?
jimboy124:
Am i supposed to be impressed by some people minor scholastic achievements written in there signatures in this forum?
Iām wondering what criteria youāve used to decide that some people have āminor scholastic achievementsā ?
Or, in other words, it might help somebody trying to answer you if we knew your definition of āminor.ā
Have you asked that question on the basis that you hold a superior qualification of some sort, and youāre out to poke fun at those of us who only have a āminorā qualification?
Would you find it acceptable if a person were to put a vocational qualification in their signature, rather than a scholastic one?
jimboy124:
I could not care less if you are LGV,HGV,ADR,CPC,CTITB,VD and scar. Driver assessor. Or whatever !!!
Iām absolutely with you there jimboy124, because I couldnāt care less whether you care less.
People have whatever qualification(s) they have, and if they want to put it/them in their signature, surely they can, otherwise the Mods would have removed it.
The point here jimboy124 is that the forum has a set of published rules, whereas you seem to make yours up as you go along.
And then spring them on people.
jimboy124:
. Who are you trying to impress ?
Iām not sure that anybody is trying to impress anybody else.
If somebody has a recognised qualification, surely youād agree that it shows that they have achieved the required standard?
So, if thatās a source of pride to a person, why do you need to ask why they put it in their signature? Isnāt that their choice?
Iād share your concern about it if a claim to hold a qualification were false, or the person gave misleading advice all the time.
jimboy124:
Another thing while i am ranting, people with stupid ID,s. You know who you are !!
Again jimboy124, it might help if a person knew your definition of āstupidā when it comes to giving themselves an ID.
Who knows how your system works, because it seems to be based on a system of rules known only to yourself.
Would it be an idea for you to post āthe jimboy124 guide to new members giving themselves an IDā ?
That way, those poor unfortunates wouldnāt fall foul of your as yet unpublished rule-book.
By the same unknown rule-book, is it OK if a member puts a qualification in their signature that isnāt āminor.ā?
Perhaps youād be good enough to post a list of qualifications that you would find acceptable in signatures pleaseā¦
If you were to do that, Iām sure that people would do their very best not to cause you the inconvenience of you having to question them by only using āminorā qualifications.
BTW jimboy124, my signature doesnāt have any qualifications in it, and I hope you find my username acceptable.
