Q: Why you can't access certain sections as a guest, or other areas as members
A:
Certain sections of Frank (such as platform loan sections) are unavailable to guests. These areas are restricted to allow for a discussion surrounding loans and borrowers without the censorship that may be deemed necessary should the sections be open to indexing by the search engine; this does not exempt you from the responsibility to post accurate information and following the rules of both the forum and the individual sections
To access the restricted sections you will have to register. As part of registering you agree to follow the forum rules, which includes not posting anything that could be considered defamation, calumny, vilification, or traducement and where possible citation should be provided or posts may be censored/ removed Before posting on any restricted section, you should familiarise yourself with the relevant platform T&Cs Invitation only forums At the request of some members, private discussion areas exist on this forum. Access is only available by invitation from those members/groups, the Administration and Moderation team of the forum do not control membership or moderate such groups. There will be no discussion as to what these forum(s) are, or whether they relate to any specific platform, loan, borrower or are even anything to do with peer to peer lending. The Administration and Moderation team will not disclose the organisers of such forum, nor, except on advice from those persons, grant or deny access to them. The new "invitation only" forum will be for areas of discussion where public disclosure may be harmful to members interests if any member wishes to form such a group they must write to the Admin team (@Admin ,@adm01 and @p2ptechie) who will consider all such requests. |

Q: "BL123 Loan Description" - Recommended Loan Name Layout
A:
When starting a Loan Thread, we ask you to follow a standard layout, as set out below. This allows for orderly loan indexes and provides easier search terms for users.
You should avoid using comments or notes in descriptions such as "LIVE" or "BAD LOAN" as these can be added in the loan description. These are guidelines and aren't obligatory, but will help the forum guides & moderators who will have to occasionally change titles to update or apply the above guides |

Q: How to add tables to posts
A:
To add tables to a post, you will need to generate some "MYCode" (this is the code the forum uses to produce the messages); to do so, you can use the "TableGenerator" button located below your message (in Full Reply). A pop out box will ask you to input your data, and once finished you can generate the required code to place in the post
For more complex tables, you can use Google sheets or excel and then produce the required code via https://theenemy.dk/table/ (please note that FRANK is not responsible for 3rd party content) We are aware that the above is not ideal; a better method will be added in the near future. Until then, if you need any help, please feel free to tag one of the Admin |
