Welcome to the Argyle Neuk - a place open to all current and ex-staff from Argyle House, Edinburgh.
We also welcome other current and ex-staff from all other DWP and JC+ sites in and around Edinburgh who may wish to talk to their Argyle House colleagues.
This forum has been set up as a central communication point for everyone who wishes to remain in contact with each other and organise social activities, nights out etc.
If you are unsure how to start a conversation thread, or post a reply, or are uncertain of the normal etiquette used in these message forums, have a look in the Suggestions and help requests forum for some assistance.
RULES
Most forums have large and lengthy sets of rules, but as we are new, and most members will probably know each other, I've decided that at the moment we shall keep them short and sweet.
If anyone feels something should be added, please contact one of the admin team.
Rules (DON'Ts):
1. No use of explicit, obscene or vulgar language or images and/or messages.
2. This forum is unusual in that you will most likely meet a lot of the folk on here in real life! So be nice.
3. No posts that attack, insult, "flame", defame, or abuse members or non-members.
4. No advertising or spamming - having said that, as the nature of this forum is that a lot of us are switching jobs or even job seeking, we have no problem with the honest advertisement of your own skills or services, as long as it is on topic, or in a short signature line at the bottom of your posts. (If you are unsure how to do this - try asking in the help forum...)
5. No use of multiple usernames. One account per person, unless they are admin staff.
6. No posts of copyrighted material. We have to say that - obviously.
7. No cryptic posts. Using cryptic messages to "skirt" the rules is not permitted.
8. While this is a forum for working age adults, please try and remember that if something would not be considered “work safe” (to a boss or co-worker), then it shouldn’t be posted.
9. Please do not disrespect or abuse moderators. They are volunteers - with certain powers to delete posts ... or even accounts......
10. No SHOUTING. Remember, using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS in posts is considered yelling.
11. IMPORTANT - In your own interests. do not post offline personal contact information (ie. your home address, phone numbers etc.) Use the PM (Private Message) facility to exchange details.
However, please DO....:
Lend a helping hand. and welcome new members. When newcomers arrive, say "hi" and welcome them. Help new folks "learn the ropes" about using the forums themselves.
I've basically done the easy part, and it is now up to everyone if they want this internet forum to work - and this will depend on the amount of posts/usage. So please pass the details on to anyone in the area who will have an interest in the goings on at the Argyle Neuk!
Thanks.
