Steve, I am afraid you are coming across as a bit of a tit !
Well I have been called worse
😀
I assumed, a long time ago, that Trade2win was to be a place where traders, and those aspiring to be such, would exchange information and enter discussions with a view to improving the lot of the trader, particularly profitability and information about scam artists or those intent on feeding off the naivity of new traders ( even some hardboiled one's🙂).
Absolutely agree.
I am astonished that you have the temerity to assume that I am anti Trade2Win, and by inference its' membership.
I don't assume you and the members are anti Trade2Win and I don't see how you get this from what I said, but I don't want to make this about the words so i'll try again. The point I was making was pretty straightforward and it was about the bigger picture. When I came here there were several things that needed dealing with as a priority.
Some of these things were made clear to me by the members and some of them were as a result of my own thoughts. Anyway, I got on with dealing with those things and whenever any issues have come up since I have dealt with them too.
What irritates me is when I read stuff about T2W doing this or not doing that with no actual evidence from recent times - it is all historical and that serves no purpose at all. If is is more recent then I have always made myself available and dealt with what has been thrown at me.
Now, clearly I have not done enough and I have to change this.
And this is what I meant about the members, it is not my job alone and if we can't draw a line under the past, look at what we have and how to build on it then we'll go nowhere."
If I pick out pieces of information that I feel would improve the lot of the trader or, at least provoke discussion and comment from those who are experienced and profitable, then one would assume such information would be welcomed.
It is, but you were wrong to provide a direct link that will take people away from here especially when we already have educational content that we point our newcomers toward.
It may shock you to know that many do not rely on T2W as the font of all knowledge and that such other sites have their own specialisms and popular trading threads (James16 for example which is one among several I keep abreast of).
That's not a shock, that is how it should be.
Frankly, I am not interested in any of your more restrictive guidelines (especially about sharing information) and consider it my right to share information
You see here we go again, I keep reading about these restrictive guidelines when they are nothing of the sort. These were all cleaned up and simplified some time ago so to make it sound like I have invented this guideline to censure you is incorrect. When I gave members the opportunity to shape the guidelines do you know how many takers there were?
- it is your job to make T2W a site where all information needed to trade successfully is contained therein, or (preferably) a place where people can share information whatever its' provenance. If it annoys your advertisers then, frankly, I do not care.
I'm not sure about the reference to advertisers, what do you mean?
So, to conclude; if you don't like my concept of T2W membership, or what I post, then I suggest you ban me.
I suppose what I am trying to say is; I don't give a ****
Why would I ban you? And I think you do give a ****, if you did not then we would not be having this conversation, and I am happy to have a real conversation at any time by phone/skype if you want to develop these themes a bit more.
