Suggestion: people in banking's posts should be one color, people not in banking get another color

I apologize if this has been suggested before.

With this change way you can distinguish advice from actual experience from the speculation posted by others. (This is assuming people don't lie, which they probably will to some extent. It would still be helpful.)

Thats very true, i total agree we should have somethings different to distinguish the difference between the experience & Advice hungry personel.

 

problem is not everyone puts their status down

i.e. in this thread, only me and capitan put down our status.

Basically impossible without jeopardizing the anonymity of the forum members. In light of this, it is probably wise for most people seeking advice to tread carefully when absorbing the advice of other members. This site has a lot to offer, a ton of information, but there are also a lot of misleading views and sarcastic remarks (as well as some idiots who should just be banned). I think I speak for many people when I say that it is worthwhile to tolerate the garbage in order to benefit from the information.

Of course this begs the question...'can it be better?' Colors would be great, or perhaps insist on disclaimers or offer optional verification of profession via e-mail. Sadly E-mail would still not really verify ibanking.
