Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted September 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted September 22, 2018 As it states, would you provide info that would verify your identity and certification, such as NCCPA certification sent from NCCPA by email, or other method, to participate in a verified PA sub forum. This would help eliminate trolls, discuss jobs/positions/offer advice/professional advancement more openly. The personal info would be deleted and likely with enough users forgotten in the masses. You would not have to reveal your identity openly in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HanSolo Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I vote no because I think that would discourage participation and restrict diversity of opinion. However, I think a reasonable compromise would be that only those who properly identify themselves (PA, MD, NP, resident, Student status, etc.) are allowed to have that on their profile. Otherwise, they would be listed as "unverified" or something along those lines. Provides more validity to opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted September 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted September 22, 2018 SDN does this for certain subforums and I think it makes sense. I am ok with Solo's idea above as well, even if he did make the worst star wars movie ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be great to be listed as "verified" in any section you post. However, I still like a locked section for verified PAs. Remember, this isn't to make the whole forum locked. It would simply create a new sub forum that would be for verified PAs only so that way one could feel more comfortable discussing pathways to achieve new legislation without giving away strategy, discuss burnout at X company, and while you would be given one person more info it would actually provide another layer of anonymity from the outside world. thanks for posting your reasons for voting no.

Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted September 22, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted September 22, 2018 Just now, EMEDPA said: they were all bad too, but I think this might have been the worst. I'm okay with the thread derailing a bit for this I think we have to remember that Ron Howard came in the middle of this film after the 2 previous directors, who did Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street, were trying to make Han Solo into a comedic character. They were in direct contrast to how the writer, Lawrence Kasdan (Raiders of the Lost Ark and Empire Strikes Back writer), was having him portrayed in the script. So I give a little leeway there, plus the acting and CGI didn't cause me repeated concussions from facepalming so hard like it did in the prequels. So, agree, not great, but not the worse.

thinkertdm Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Personally, I'd like a chance to voice an opinion or discuss something in the framework of fellow physician assistants; and without students or pre-pas interjecting. It also boggles my mind how people who want to get into a science based profession can't find the appropriate forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rank it far below even the worst prior one Attack of the clowns I mean clones. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinkertdm Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Rogue one led up to a new hope pretty good...Leia was a little creepy but not as weird as having a leader of the resistance just hanging out during this battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexapro Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I think it's a good idea. I'm in a psych NP only group (on another platform) and it provides us a lot of security to be very frank about jobs, effective negotiation, legislative tactics, guiding new grads, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I understand. I didn't think of that. I support it for those reasons (despite the fact that I couldn't participate just yet). Also, my movie was far better than I, II, and III. Hayden Christensen was an embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidpresentable Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 So we’re not talking about read-only access for those without licenses, we’re talking complete invisibility. I assume the mods could move threads between the sub-forum and the public view if ever appropriate (ie, a thread that doesn’t really need to be in the sub forum)? Firefly/Serenity are awesome, I liked Rogue One, and I’ve still gotta see some of the other series mentioned. I saw a couple episodes of The Orville awhile back, and it was exactly what you’d expect: Seth Macfarlane writing and acting in Star Trek. Hardcore Trek fans would be appalled, but more casual watchers like myself can chuckle at the ribbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. I like Family Guy and American Dad but Orville was too much Seth McFarlane lol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted September 23, 2018 Moderator Share Posted September 23, 2018 Agreed, one sub forum that is solidly restricted to PA only I am on other forums that do this and although I felt a little strange giving the info to get into them, I did and appreciate the candor that can be had with in - as well it takes away the anonymity that so frequently is destructive on a public forum... one vote YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
