    Hi @Fae,

    Thank you for your question. The answer is: yes, you can become a member of Scope, even if your spouse is an employee of Scope.

    Employees cannot be member of Scope for a matter of conflict of interests, but we ask all our colleagues to invite their friends, family and partners to join our membership!

    Here is the link to do it: https://www.scope.org.uk/membership/

    Please let me know if you need any other information about our membership, and thanks for your support!

    @Giovanni_Scope please could you answer a question?

    On the sign up form it asks: 

    27. Can you suggest a nickname for Scope's Online Community. Please share your suggestion with us.

    Is this because you are renaming the forum? What will these suggestions be used for?

    Hi @Shells,

    Thank you for your comment!

    That question applies only to new members who are not part of the Online Community yet. We use their nickname suggestions to create their profile on the Online Community.

    Since you are already part of the Online Community, please don't worry about that, you can simply skip that question.

    For the records, if someone who is already part of the Online Community becomes a member of Scope, we have a system in place to avoid creating a new user profile. I hope that makes sense?

    Thank you again for your support, and please let me know if I can help any further!

    Lol!! Sorry @Giovanni_Scope, that makes more sense. The question isn't worded like that and sounds like a nickname for the forum.  :D

    Now that I read it again I agree with you!

    I'm going to see if we can rephrase it :-)

    Thanks for your feedback!
