Quite right there shoudn't be a a requirement to be a RAO to advertise on BAJR. However, given the strong (and just) stance that BAJR has taken on rogue RAO's shouldn't this follow through?? Especially when Mr Hosty has entered the hallowed ranks as a MIFA!
The ranks are appearing to close, with Mr Hosty and Dr Pete commenting on this issue? concidence??? If an organisation has been found failing and their RAO status removed should they not then be restricted from advertising on BAJR?
Mr Hosty states that he has VERY strict rules and regs on potential advertisers? What are these?

Very easy.... you could read the Add Job section
Quote:quote:4: Do you have any responsibility for the jobs you advertise?
BAJR does try to keep an eye on what is going on... it is quite often like the proverbial swan with a gentle glide on the surface and a frantic paddling beneath. I am grateful to the 157 companies that advertise through BAJR for their support and help in maintaining a standard. The jobs you never see are ones that pay beneath the BAJR set pay levels or have conditions that are not in keeping with the IFA Codes and Conducts that BAJR not only recommends as a standard, but more importantly upholds.
and
Note the pay levels : No advert will be posted that falls below the pay guides for the level of responsibility. The pay levels are based on Local Goverment Scales and are complemented by the IFA pay guides.
simple but strict.
I am slightly concerned at the implication that somehow I am now 'closing ranks' - [:0] and I am afraid I am working on networking my home computers just now, not talking with Peter... so I am afraid it is indeed concidence... apology accepted.
If an organisation has been found failing ( I take it you know why the RAO status happened? ) - I can hardly stike them off if a) they are trying to change b) they have met the criteria for advertising.
I will say this once more... I do not see anyone as guilty before I have seen anything to the contrary... that is called being fair. IF.... and I mean IF I find that they have been willfully misleading people that they are an RAO then I will pass this on to the IFA, and it will have consequences
And I will say publically that when I asked them in an off the cuff way, they answered that they were not.
But this is not a kangaroo court. Ofte I find that there is a mistake, an accident.. or a perfectly rational explanation... and when pointed out... it is sorted.
I can only operate within paramaters... and I sure as hell don't do anything without ammunition.... OR the whole story.
INNOCENT until PROVED GUILTY not the other way round

Just to keep people informed... this is getting all very confusing for reasons I don't want to go into here.
If you really want to know then call me Thursday morning or evening... 01620 861643 - there is a real offer...
You wanna know...??? Troll has texted me today... I have texted back and await his letter. So transparant I am... though there are things I don't like talking about in public... but just get on the bone and talk to me. then you may understand.

Obviously I don't know (or need to know) the story, but as we have disagreed on things previously, I'd like to say IMHO it sounds like your actions here are exemplary, Troll. Sorry, I don't mean that to be as patronising as it sounds, hope you know what I mean, i.e. I'm not slow to argue so it seems fair to acknowledge when I agree!
This is without condemning the other party in any way as I am unaware of the facts, the point being Troll is acting on what he believes to be the right thing to do.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.

MAny thanks for following the procedure... think you may be pleasntly surprised.
As I have said in the email to yourself, we should now just sit and wait... after all... as I have said before.... innocent until...etc
Any naming, hints , etc will only mean that nothing can be done... so as Troll says... lets wait

Agreed completely Mr Hosty. As tempted as I am to furnish details, I would prefer to let the grown-ups deal with this in their own way.Until then, I`m off jobhunting-have renewed my pledge to only work for grown-ups and professionals.......
