Due to a number of complaints and concerns from forum members and the WebTeam directly related primarily to individuals posting messages without providing any of their own credentials or location, as well as several banned members returning using new aliases, we are now instituting a policy where ALL forum posters MUST provide a valid e-mail address that is marked visible to ALL members, a department name and rank must also be provided. If you do not currently have this included in your profile, please go to "profile" and change the settings accordingly.
If you have not done this by Tuesday, February 8, your USERID will be banned from posting messages until you do.
We hope this step will solve some of the problems. The next step would have to be requiring validation of all forum members by the WebTeam, a lengthy process that we feel would impinge on the number of members, but would ensure the quality of members. We will re-evaluate the situation in two weeks or earlier.
Thanks again to the vast majority of forum members for making this a great place to be.
Thanks
The Firehouse WebTeam
