the title of this forum is"club together" if you are not a member of the "club" it really should not be any body elses business, the whole concept is for members to swap and change ideas,discussions, etc its a bit like letting a non member on a club site but wave the non member fee because hes a nice bloke or hes been here before, members only please

I'm a Club member, have been for over 25 years, but it doesn't say so on my profile photo.
Moderator Edit:
Perhaps it might be a suggestion that you make contact with the club to have your status amended below your avatar.
Thanks, will do, will try to anyway!

My understanding is that the Club decided that they would allow non-members to contribute to Club Together as a means of encouraging non-members to join and I understand that initially this was quite successful, I don't know if that is still the situation. What we have to be careful of is basing decision on a few SPAM posts forcing decisions. We have been pretty successful at cutting out SPAM and todays incidence is now fortunately very rare. The question that should be answered is there anything on this forum that requires the confidentiallity that prevents non members joining in?

Write your comments here...presumably though the cist of supporting it I'd taken from the £48 membership fee we all pay so why should do non members use it? On other forums you can view stuff but not take part until you oay your fees so why not here?

I'm only a user of IT, but once the wbsite is up and running is there an additional cost for non members using it?

I've no problem with non-member contributors even when they are old 'friends' under new names
I do think that pre moderation of newbie posts would be sensible and it may help to prevent queries going in the middle of threads discussing other things or in the wrong section.
