    As this forum has expanded considerably since the last attempt at finding out who we have on here, I thought it might be an idea to get a breakdown of who our regulars are, i.e role etc as there seems to be quite a few newbies. Therefore a poll seems like the way forward.

    It would be appreciated if all regular forum readers (even you lurkers) take part.

    What is your role? 70 votes

    I am a uniform Garda/Skipper
    0% 0 votes
    I am a Detective Garda/Skipper
    40% 28 votes
    I am a Police Officer/Police Constable/Skipper
    5% 4 votes
    I am a Firefighter
    2% 2 votes
    I am a Paramedic/EMT/Ambulance worker
    2% 2 votes
    I am a member of a voluntary service
    4% 3 votes
    I work in another sector related to the ES
    5% 4 votes
    I am an aspiring Cop/Firefighter/Medic
    1% 1 vote
    I am a civilian with a general interest/lurker
    14% 10 votes
    I am a retired / former ES member.
    21% 15 votes

    Genuine Polis but not as old as Deadwood and Clara it would appear :P

    May I suggest removing Trolls from lurkers and general? Bit insulting to civvies that are just interested and actually interact positively.

    Think only mods can do it, also think it resets the poll count too. Dont hold me to that though im not 100% on it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,357 ✭✭✭Eru


    nog can do it and it leaves the results as they are even if he deletes a persons answer. hes only a mini mod ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,155 ✭✭✭metman


    Ah ok. Well the last option was intended to read: I am a civvie with a general interest or I am a lurker or I am a troll (trolls should be able to vote too :D). I wasn't implying that all civilians are trolls.....

    Maybe a mod could substitute the Troll option for Retired/Ex-ES? :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 61 ✭✭foxtrot-oscar


    Ah fair enough, hes floating about and should be here soon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,127 ✭✭✭✭kerry4sam


    Good idea Metman ... everytime I view the site their are more and more newbies posting & it's a great sign of a successful forum

    Interesting poll, In the Garda statistics it appears the wooden tops who post here seriously outnumber the crime fighting detectives.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 313 ✭✭gilly0512


    I am a Reserve, who sadly is now over the age limit of ever becoming a genuine polis


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 315 ✭✭Whitewater-AGS


    Good poll, I'm uniform polis and fairly new to the forum


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    Civilian with general interest, possible aspiring Garda.

    Insert 'people who nick prisoners and cases when the hard work is done if its a good case then dont even leave the unfirom on as reporting' for 'crime fighting detectives' and your spot on :p

    Poll options altered to remove the troll bit.

    I've also added an option for former members, don't seem to be able to make multiple votes possible, which might have been useful, especially for the voluntary option. Put in an option too for coastguard and marine rescue type people, given they're the fourth statutory emergency service.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,155 ✭✭✭metman


    Cheers for that mate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,626 ✭✭✭timmywex


    Im an aspiring medic but have interest in all areas!

    Dad's a garda sergeant i/c, so thats where that interest comes from

    Starting engineering next year and hoping to maybe work in the fire service(prevention etc) for a while before the ambulance service!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,226 ✭✭✭angelfire9


    Cop's wife, cop's daughter, and sadly that qualifies me as a lurcher :-(
