1 Site ethos/mission
This Forum puts the interests of Punters first through the sharing of Reviews. The Forum does not endorse or promote any service provider or any other site. This site is totally independent—no favouritism, special treatment, vested interests, or pandering to service providers.
We encourage all members to share their reviews to help others and keep the community thriving. General chat relating to Punting is allowed on the appropriate board.
27 Non-Contributing Accounts
We welcome questions and participation, but members who only ask without posting reviews may be flagged as non-contributing. Once flagged, a 28-day timer begins. Posting a review during this period will maintain your membership. Sharing reviews helps keep the community balanced and valuable for everyone..
When I am seeking 'recommendations' aka, the thoughts of our members, I take a little time to look through recent reviews - pretty much ALL the info that's being asked for, is already there, in plain sight.
Those asking for "any intel" etc, could easily do the same IMHO
FB
I would agree in the main, however not every new member, who only joined the day before asking, knows how to search, would a bit of help and guidance not be appropriate in those circumstances?
