[QUOTE="Jack, post: 795568, member: 1"] Hey [USER=74969]@plat1098[/USER], I've removed this field from the configs. It was added because we thought that it would help when suggesting other members security software. The field wasn't meant to reflect how knowledgeable the member is about the Windows operating system or the in-depth knowledge of Cyber Security, but how aware a member was of the phishing, scams and other social engineering attacks. I agree that we should have published a thread about how a member should rank himself but then again everyone should know how aware is he. A good example would have been a test like this: [URL='https://phishingquiz.withgoogle.com/']Take Jigsaw's Phishing Quiz[/URL] The field didn't add anything to the account, and was only visible in the thread with the config so this is why we've allowed the members to chose their awareness. Anyway, I've removed this field because most people were rating themselves as Average even if they clearly had a High level of awareness, while other were just thinking that this was a way to boost their confidence. We've tried it, it didn't work... let's move on. :) [/QUOTE]
