Dear Moderators - doubtless you will lock the thread

Thought it was about time to put my oar in - like many others I used to find this website very useful

Recently I was blocked for offering an opportunity to a sandwich student......

The overall level of use of this part of the site would appear to much lower


Has anyone considered that perhaps one of the reasons for the issues associated with the " demise of the website" is the fact that the majority of job ad space in Practitioner is taken by recruitment consultancies. 15 jobs in a full page does not really make for good sales... easy sales yes but not lots of sales

oh and don't get me started on the level of "service" they offer

As many other people have said there has to be a better way ... well we had one

As an employer it was good because it was free and instant

Presumably as a potential employee it was also good?

Given that IOSH is rarely slow on coming forward to make money.... how many trade associations actually complete with their own members interest? IOSH training? Then perhaps there is a better way but then maybe it would impact on subs which are - and I am opening on all fronts very cheap.......

oh by the way I do have various letters inc MaPS MIDE and CFIOSH, and I am not on a self interest campaign

Look forward to the formal response

Cheers

Bruce

Carefully take the pineapple shaped object out of the box, being careful not to shake it or drop it. Look for the pin and remove. Arch back arm and throw as far as you can. Then duck and wait for the (probably very loud) BANG!!!!!!!!!

Bruce,

We want to acknowledge that the moderating team have read your comments.

Unfortunately we as a team are not in a position to formally respond on behalf of IOSH on this issue.

The moderators role is to implement the policies agreed at a higher level.

However we can assure you that your complaints have been forwarded to the relevant IOSH Committee.

For the record, the proper way to raise the issue as a complaint is set down on this web-page:

http://www.iosh.co.uk/in...go=discussion.guidelines

We would strongly encourage people to use this channel rather than starting threads which we will have to lock under AUG 4.

This thread has now been locked.

Regards
