Welcome to Mortgage Broker Land! I am the moderator of the site so if you ever need help either pm, email, or instant message me and I will return an answer to you asap.


I wanted to make a quick post about a few of this sites features. When you become a member you can give or receive user reputation points. When you see a post that you like or a member that has helped you click the scale icon within their post to add or subtract user reputation points. Of course you only want to subtract for bad posts but I suggest contacting either myself or Erik first to try and resolve your issue with the member/post in question.

As a user's reputation grows you will see more green boxes under their name. Your user reputation can be checked by clicking User CP.

Thank you for becoming a member of this forum and we welcome you to our fine community!

Edit: (1-10-2006) We want to stress the behavior that we simply will not tolerate in this forum. The following is a post Erik made.

No personal attacks and keep things professional. This is what the reputation feature is for here at MBL. If somebody is unprofessional you have two options:

-Give negative (red) reputation (use the scale icon on the right side above a person's info bar)

-Report a bad post (use the warning icon on the right side above a person's info bar)

Only paid members can give reputation, but all can receive. This is intentional so that respectable members of the site are both adding postive rep to good members and warning others about members who need to pay a little more attention to the rules.

If people get too low on reputation they will be banned. Or, if they repeatedly post against the rules, they will be banned. This is a community for mortgage professionals, not children.

We like to joke around here and have a good time, but personal attacks have no place. Thank you all in advance for helping abide by and encourage this simple rule. The site is coming along nicely and you all are a big part of that - let's keep it growing in a positive way.

Please be professional!
