User titles

[UKFF Mod]

We have made an amendment to the rules of our forum. Our rules are always posted clearly in each board and also in our 'FAQ' section at the top of the page, however we felt it appropriate to highlight an addition to our rules.

All previous rules remain the same, however we have added guidance on the following on our 'type of user' function:

Type of user selection

When you join our forum you are asked to indicate what type of user you are. The choices are:

A contractor

A recruitment agent

A recruitment agency

A representative from an umbrella company

A representative from an accountancy service provider

A representative of a company that provides both umbrella company and accountancy services

An end client who contractors provide services for and agencies hire on behalf of

A representative of a company that offers services to freelancers and contractors, such as financial services or legal cover

The purpose of this option is to allow other users to see what sort of member of the freelance community you are, and from what perspective you are posting.

Please note that you do not have to state which company you work for, we understand that at times it is inappropriate to offer opinion on matters that could affect your position in your company, which would restrict debate

However, it is very important that this option is used accurately and truthfully. Attempting to mislead other users (for example, registering as a contractor and then spamming other members with contract offers) is strictly not allowed.

If you have any reason to suspect that someone is attempting to mislead others about their identity for malicious purposes please email webmaster@freelancesupermarket.com or send a private message to the FLSM Mod for further investigation
