Change "Arms Access" banner / tag to "Professional"?

Change "Arms Access" banner / tag to "Pro Electrician" "Professional"?

What would you guys say?

I assume everybody with the current Electricians Arms tag is an actual Professional Electrician? (Been a while since I've admin'd here to be fair)

So I'm squishing out content that doesn't make sense to a newbie to make it a bit more appealing.

Wondering if 'Pro Electrician' (needs be short) would be better than "Electricians Arms Member" or any version of that that's shorter.

So just to make this clear - this is a yes or no option and we don't have time to discuss lots of other options. It's either change it to Pro Electrician, or keep it as Arms Access.

At least for now lol

Poll runs for 2 days.

GO!

Edit: I've changed the question.

When I Applied for mine, I was pleased to find that I had to supply relevant information to prove that I was actually and currently working as a professional electrician.
if everyone has been through a similar vetting process the odds are good!!

I would say yes, but consideration will need to be afforded to retired Electricians, who, although no longer practice their trade were non the less "Professional Electricians" when they were working, sort of dismissing the input they would have made during their time on the tools. May be "Jedi Electricians"

 

[telectrix]

retired or not, yous still a professional electrician, albeit an old fart like me. .

A doctor is still a doctor when they retire,
so is a scientist and many others that i wont list.
If you want to keep the tag after you retire, i think you should automatically do so.
people who want to drop the tag could ask for it to be removed?
p.s. i Love the jedi electrician tag idea.

This has been suggested in another thread and Dan is aware. Can we keep this on the Arms topic and not side track. Ta muchly.

 

[Lister1987]

Go for "Trading Electrician" (i.e. actively providing services), "Retired Electrician" (obvious), "Electrical Consultant" (those that are both the former but not actively trading, instead providing thier knowledge 'as is'

Same here how do i get in the arms?

 

[davesparks]

If you want to change it then change it, but please can it be professional electrician, not 'pro'.

'pro' is a term put on the packaging of cheap, unreliable tat to make it appeal to idiots and children.

I was only invited in this week.

Disappointed the pub is closing so soon.

In my defence the OP does finish "What would you guys say", thus inviting conversation

Start a conversation with me and send me your company details etc

 

[DPG]

I'd leave it the same personally. Can't see the benefit in changing, and I like the pub theme. If it has to change then its not a major thing though.

 

[telectrix]

maybe just "professional". after all, this is an electricians forum, so it woud take a punter with an IQ <50 to thing it meant professional plumber.

Pro is also a term for a -----

Retired electricians, although professional at one time may not be up to speed with modern regulations.

Never thought of that!

I keep trying provide tiling advice on that forum and having been out of it for over a decade I keep ballsing up people's bathrooms. The members have to quickly correct me.

The adhesive and backerboard choices now are crazy. I can't keep up.
