What are my options as an agency?

I've been hereba while.

However, I am unable to PM anyone, can't see the reviewer's profiles, etc.

As an agency, what are my options for communicating privately with other members

Most likely you need to pay for VIP privliges to use the PM system...

Providers can, once they have a profile, become limited VIP members for free, and that affords them the use of the PM system. But I don't think an agency can attain that status.

I would suggest reading the Newbie/Self Help Manual that is linked on this page, and see if there is anything on VIP and/or the PM system that speaks to agencies using same.

Very much out of character, swim!

This was obviously a simple typo. The "b" didn't belong there and there should have been a space ("here a," not "hereba")
Anyone with half a brain could figure out what the OP was saying. Epsi likes to point out people's typos. I guess he never made a typo in his life. I guess the trees he talks to never make typos either. For him to post what he did is his character. For you to agree with him, and post an "LOL" besides, is very much out of character for you as the newbie host.

I have to agree, being pedantic is the sign of a small mind, not to mention being a bit rude

We are supposed to be welcoming the newbs, not ridiculing them for simple typos. As PS said, we expect this type of behavior from TSTTTTT, but it really is out of character for you.

At least mrfisher gave the OP some useful advice, I don't really have anything to add to it, except perhaps to contact Admin as to the policy regarding free limited VIP for agencies. Even after a decade here and having moderated a good dozen boards, I have to confess I don't know the policy regarding agencies.

are you busy controlling others?

attempting to keep everyone in line?

why are you trying to decide what swim or others are allowed to post in the forums?

who made you "god"?

what makes you think you are so special?

why are you attempting to keep everyone in line?

who made you "god"?

the fact that this is an agency tells me that this person has been around the block a few times. for you or perfect to think that this person is a 'newbie' is laughable.

re-read the original post again... you might get it the 2nd or 3rd time.

Pointer Pecking

Sorry my post precipitated a little spat.

Thanks for the input.

FWIW, posting from a tablet isn't all that much better than posting from a phone. It's like I was actually typing. I'm pointer pecking on a touch screen. Typos galore!
