        For this CFA exam weekend, we know that forum members will want to come back and chat, especially since you don’t have to worry about the exam anymore! To that, we’re testing out an approach that may work:

        • The forum will remain open.
        • However, to be on the safe side, all comments will be moderated and need approval. We will work hard to make sure comments go out on time, but if it takes some time please be patient 🙂

        This system only works if every member of this forum honours the trust put in them by us. We trust you guys to follow these rules in the forum at any point in time, but especially during exam weekend:

        • NOT to discuss exam questions, or even hint at it
        • NOT to try and recreate the exam papers

        Just stay clear of exam-related topics to be safe. Not only will you get in serious trouble and probably have your exam invalidated, but you may get others in trouble too.

        We’re working extra hard to make sure the forum remains open over exam weekends, so help us keep it that way. If this trust is broken by a few bad apples we will have no choice but to close the forum in future exam weekends, which isn’t fun for anyone.

          Was wondering when this would pop up. Seems fair. Thanks @Zee!

            I’ll probably stay clear over the weekend, just to be safe.

            on a separate note, I have been thinking about changing my username, as I would like something a little bit more anonymous (probably MattyJ, so not too different 🙂 ). Is there anyway to do this without opening a new account? I value my badges too much!!!

            You can do that with your existing account – just go to “edit profile”!

            The username is greyed out?

              @Sophie I signed up with the wrong name. I happen to really like the Sarah Gutenberg and the.walking.library combination!

                I just agreed with @Sarah and @MattyJ’s thing of not revealing too much of my name! And now it’s not there at all 😛

                  Question of acceptable material: are we allowed to say that we found a particular section difficult without getting into detailed topics?

                        @mattyc
                        No – due to time differences some candidates may not have taken the exam yet.
