I feel no embarrassment whatsoever and I doubt Sharky, other staff members or Mods do either. They've no reason to as all new members are made to feel welcome. They receive a welcome e-mail upon registration and are encouraged to participate in forum discussions. Most don't, largely because they've nothing to say or ask. Of those that do, most receive polite and courteous responses, especially newbies asking for help. Of the tiny, tiny, tiny percentage who experience a hostile reaction - it's usually warranted - i.e. because they are spammers, unscrupulous vendors selling tat or other such ne'er-do-wells.
As a general rule of thumb, when it comes to issues such as these, the expression 'no smoke without fire' holds true. If I were in your shoes FoMo and genuinely felt aggrieved at the inhospitable reception I received, rather than blaming others and saying what an unfriendly place this is, I'd be asking myself this question . . .
I respect you NVP but new people should listen to the dissers and form their own opinion.A lot of the dissers seem to be very experienced traders who have been around the block several times.They are the type of people i want to listen to.One word of advice to new members here
STAY FOCUSSED AND IGNORE THE NEGATIVE MEMBERS
using Forums and the many members associated is a little like life.............you are going to get people that want to help you and people that dont...........
in life however you can usually move away quickly from the people that are sarcastic and rude and unhelpful..........as why spend time talking or dealing with them ?
here on T2win the moderators must allow such people to continually snipe and jibe at all the other members .......as long as they are not outrageously rude or post obscene pictures or comments they are allowed to continue their quest to stop people being able to be here in a fairly friendly environment, and be able to focus 100% on learning about trading with no meaningless interruptions
its called democracy
at best think of them like the disruptive children in a classroom - that take away your concentration and valuable time with the teachers and mentors as they rant and rage and pout in the corner............time wasted by the mentors having to talk to them and pacify them and even argue with them whilst valuable time slips away ..............who truly knows the reasons why these people behave as such but they do ..........its allowed here.
the moderators watch but cant act..............I think new members can block comments by such people online
so focus on dealing with the the good guys and your improving trading ...........if you have a complaint do not be scared to reach out to the moderators (or experienced members you are following) about other members ...........this is a free and open forum and the moderators want to keep it friendly and get rid of the Children..and they will if they need to
feel free to contribute and get involved - the moderators and experienced members have your backs ...this is a great forum and much friendlier than many others out there in the trading cosmos

Hi FoMo,
I do my level best not to comment on your posts but, sometimes, it's necessary put out another version of 'the facts' - lest members think your version is correct.
Hi Tim
I always respect your comments simply because you do an excellent PR job of being very pleasant and helpful and trying to remain unbias and accepting both sides of any discussion
Unfortunately you have picked on a comment which was explained in more detail on a previous comment in this thread. I do agree T2W does it best to welcome all new members - its just then a small proportion of its members who let you down good and proper when the new members start new threads etc - and you end up having to tidy them up

I have to differ with you here .
You had once 11k+ viewers etc online in early 2013 and from what I gather the site maybe flourised between 2006 and 2010 with high numbers etc etc. It started to decline way before I joined and I personally put that down to many of your members who have been here for over 5+ yr plus . They seem to think a trading forum should be mainly for taking the wee wee and looking for the Lulz rather than discussing proper retail trading - not commercial investing etc etc
Why would anyone join a trading forum and have nothing to ask??
I notice suddenly members who have been reportably joined here 3 yrs or even 5 yrs ago suddenly make a comment or two - might these be just multi nics who have registered 10 - 20 names to use after they are banned ??
T2w always had a good name for it openness and wanting to expose crooks and sharks etc etc - but its ended up with every new member who might have some knowledge being accused of being a fake vendor or up to something no good.
So yes - you and the staff might do an excellent job on the initial welcome part with good advice etc ( that's also debatable)- but then its just the"lambs let out to be slaughtered" - by just a small number of multi nic members who want to ruin it for all
As a general rule of thumb, when it comes to issues such as these, the expression 'no smoke without fire' holds true.

'What have I said or done to cause such a negative reaction and what do I need to do to ensure it doesn't happen in the future?' If you think the answer is 'nothing', may I humbly suggest that you think again!
I totally agree with you here - I knew the word "expert" would inflame and annoy the many average traders here - ie the red rag to the bull
That's why I did it - I wanted to see how good the dissers and old school were - and with the exception of maybe a few - I have been disappointed
The trouble is - I am a retail FX trading expert - you have to be to make money every day whilst appearing laid back and commenting live in a thread. So far only Major Magnum as found it how good I really am - and his true results might now shut a few moaners up - and he still has a lot to learn - but he knows it and carries on working hard and making the commitment - even whilst other members question him and also his statements
Its just not good enough - still maybe if I can over this next few months teach a few other members who are committed - then I might be looked upon in a different light - after all after advising personally Sir Richard Branson in 1986/7 on two of his successful business ventures - I surely must have some skills ;-)
Tim.
