<At any time that a user is classified as an IRP there will be a special icon designating that in their profiles and posts (alias colored?, any other ideas?). Maybe a golden triangle of some sort with an attached explanation. It will also link to a "My Disclosures" page where the user can input their affiliations and compensation details." That will include a place for them to make any legally required notices and disclaimers, and the presence of a disclaimer will be noted on their posts and profile>
Maybe a picture of a snake oil salesman/woman?
LOL, jk
But on the flipside, do the posters who advertise their own products subject to the same icon? For example, CD's on how to trade, etc?
