LeTiss brought up the knotty issue of assessing the creditability of advice again but it got lost in that thread. PC is one way but even a lucky newbie can pay that until the wheels fall off, and I don't pay PC even though this pays my bills, so....

What's missing that other trades have ? an Association/Federation/Institute of Master Sports Traders.
£20 quid a year, you sent in your PL, you get a certificate and a sticker for your van :) The big guys can apply for a gold certificate ...but that's £40.

I might do it, I reckon I could get 10 members and that's enough for a christmas dinner & drinks.

A certificate, a t-shirt and a secret handshake and I'm in!

My suggestion was purely designed to identify to new arrivals the people who do this successfully, and therefore are worth listening to

One way I suppose is to allow us to like posts!
The one thing I have noticed with Bet Angel forum over the years, is that fantastic little nuggets quite often get lost in amongst large threads

I'm fairly sure that everything that's useful has already been said, somewhere.
It's like the movie industry, nobody has seen every film that's ever been made but they keep making more, and now there's so many you don't know where to start.

When you've doubled it to £2 you can.

I'd paid a shed load of commission before I made net profitable and I'm still at about 45% comm/gross lifetime.

I should put that on the "How long does it take to make money" thread....

About 18years when you're a slow learner, but that includes my 'wilderness years' :roll:

I remember you mentioning you were gambling before and had a heavy loss, thereby not paying PC. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw LeTiss's post.

PC isn't the be all and end all. A Martingaler could be paying PC. You generally get a feel for who's talking sense by the nature and detail of their posts and how they respond to questions if suggestions are challenged. On top of that you'd have 40% PC payers who aren't fussed about the McDonald's gold star and don't bother sending in their proof.

LeTiss's kudos idea is plausible but it would only be useful to newbies if forumites used it only for trading specific matters and not because a forumite (who could potentially be a good trader) is talking utter bollocks about a non-trading matter, being impolite, etc.
