Hey ratingcrady,
Let me disagree with you on a couple of points:
1. I always ask members to update the SS, and I'll keep doing it. There are a lot of old entries on the SS, and a lot of members don't update their info. Others just mention "admin, please update the SS", as if the admins had all the time in the world to read the thread and do it.
We all benefit from the SS and it a constant reminder is good.
2. Although I don't like distrusting people, there has been several fake posts, and even several fake SS entries. Charges way ahead of what they should have been, charges several days after a NOC is capped to give others hope.. I don't get why somebody would do it, but I've seen it happen a few times. So a little distrust is necessary unfortunately.
6. Number 6 burns me up too! I've seen several Brazilians do it and post things in Portuguese! Even if the contents are harmless, it is still unrespectful to the others. Please only post contents in English.
8. While I agree with you that this is not the place for EE, a lot of us won't get PER before the first draw of EE (myself included), so I think it's natural a lot of us are interested. This thread is where most of things are happening on this forum, so it's natural it draws a lot of attention. So I partially agree with you on this one
