Culling the herd

If you are not contributing to the community by way of asking questions or providing advice, what the bloody hell are you doing on F&C? We now have the ability to ask annoying questions - as in no one except the admin team knows who the poster is. This allows newbies to ask questions without fear of judgement or negative replies.

We do something that is counterintuitive to most “groups” in that we regularly “cull” our membership. Did you know we remove approx 200 members every month? As a result we have maintained a membership of approx 9,100 for the past 2 and a half years.

Reasons why some are culled:

1: we haven’t seen any activity from them in a long time (90 days) and therefore consider them not to be contributing in any meaningful way.

2 They are no longer a broker or in the industry.

3: Their employer doesn’t like them to be on here. So speak to them about this.

4: Dien just doesn't like you and this is a perfect time to do it. This is a popular one and surprisingly Dien gets offered loads of recommendations on whom to cut, it’s quite funny.
