   | Agreed there. Very impressive experience, you should not have needed to display it but be glad you did as a not very active player, I don't get the privelage to read all of your posts but just that one alone made it clear you are very knowledgeable in not only health but english as well Very well said. |

 | Haa haa, second time posting on this thread!!!!!  SportsDr, it is all about community knowledge, brainstorming, socializing, entertainment and just getting to know each other and our bodies. What better place to share? I had a question on athlete’s foot and POW, I got an answer the same day. That was awesome. No body knows everything, nor if they did would they remember it (geriatrics in my case along with some short term memory loss)? Knowledge is power and information is usable in many things in life! Keep the information flowing please, post at will, and have a nice day! So far this is quite a positive response huh?

| I think the only real concern is that a newbie could take your advice as that of a doctor without questioning it in their own head (hard to say this without being rude, but some people are well a bit thick). perhaps a little disclaimer in your sig would remove that problem.

| Ok if it will help you mods sleep better at night I will put a disclaimer once I figure out how. But does this mean Jimmy and Jock have to put a disclaimer stating they are not nutritionists? (If you are I apologise) or perhaps James Titor needs a disclaimer stating he doesnt hold a power lifting coaching qualification? (apologies if you do) or that biker, cheater and probably most everyone else here doesn't hold a pharmacology degree? Point taken but I can't help feeling singled out here, the advise given on this forum about roids is potentially far more damaging than anything I have said but I dont see anyone putting disclaimers in ther sigs when giving advise on cycles etc? Just to make sure its understood, I don't believe any of us need to justify our responses here, it is a forum for opinions and discussion thats all. All the same I will do it, as I like posting here and I know that no offense is being intended, its nice that the mods care albeit in a little bit of a motherly way Luv you guys! SD |

| *sigh* I really can't be bothered with this as I think it's being blown out of all proportion and really is little more than a poor choice of username but here we go. the point is you have used a username that suggests your are sports orientated doctor (I do actually know some that are) and you are not, perhaps you should have discussed the issue with the forum owners when you received a PM about it rather than starting a thread to create a scene about it and get you back slapped a few times by members telling you how great you are. As it happens I don't think you should have been contacted as you were but that's another matter which I'm sure the mods will be discussing. unfortunately with the way this world is going we do have to be very careful what we say on forums, it's sad but so is life. It's only a matter of time until someone give someone bad advice and some silly little kids does himself damage next thing before you know it the site owner is in court - sounds over the top but then do we really believe all those heavy metal records in the 80s had backward tracks telling people to commit sucide etc. of course not but there still was court cases. None of the usernames you list suggest that say Jimmy is a nutritionist etc. I certainly don't hold a pharmacology degree, and I have been considering putting something into my sig recently and I just have. But then I don't claim I have nor do I attempt to put anyone under any impression that I am, I would imagine most people know that I just speak from my own experience. I thought you were glad of my advise on your previous gyno problems on my own forum? would someone with a degree in pharmacuticals been any more able to help? But then that's clear when you have 10 years of Pharmacy experience within the navy that clearly that wouldn't prove anything. I know another forum had a Doctor who posted under the name of Doctor, now he felt a need to put a disclaimer in his sig and he was the real deal. I still maintain there was no need for this thread to be started and if a mod did contact you, and you felt you weren't being treated fairly you should have contact another mod/admin rather than starting a thread like this, as it serves no purpose other than to inflate your ego. No offence intended by my way but as most will tell you I just say what I think, I enjoy some of your posts so please don't assume I'm just having a go because I'm not!

| yes a better worded disclaimer at the bottom of the page should be ample, if a line about medical advice was include I see no problem with what a usersname is. or even better if it was included in the join up email when you join.

I dont think its opinions that are being questioned here mate its about usernames. All it comes down to is the fact someone has called themselves DR and they have been asked to put a disclaimer to say they are not infact a DR. I also like Sportdocs posts and appreciate the knowledge that he has shared but at the end of the day all he has to do is put a disclaimer in his sig and the matter is resloved. I agree with Biker that the name Jimmy for instance does not imply anything like the name Dr does.

| Administrator  | The usernane implication was the issue. Whilst most people aren't that dumb I guess there are still those who may take it as gospel and end in fatality. Whilst personally I'd be quite happy for them to do this thus removing themselves form the gene pool, that's not really a mature way of approaching it. We will re-write the main website footer - good idea. I will also make sure that people aknowledge the fact that members are speaking from experience etc etc when they sign up.  L

| I have added a sig but in response to Lorians statement that it was a username issue, that isn't really true. The PM I recieved questioned my integrity, implying that I was plaguerising articles and rewriting them as my own, that is what prompted my publication of my credentials, which after all could still be erroneous so people are still no better off. It should be the content of my posts which leads the individual to take what I have said as gospel or not. As for my username, if there are any ex RN out there they will know that Navy Medics are called 'Doc' as a nickname, my username was a combination of my Sports experience and the fact that I was a ships only medical personel. I was able to diagnose and prescribe so therefore my job did not differ from a Dr's in the slightest. Usernames are handles, nicknames, not badges of rank or qualification. If I gave the username 'Rocket Scientist' would that suddenly make me an expert on jet propulsion? People can use there own intelligence, even the thick ones and not be that gullable. So hope the sig settles this, but it has been very interesting the various issues this has surfaced. Regards SD
