Au.ta Rules

1) You may only regularly promote a night in here if you have been an
active and participating member of the forum for longer
than *insert time* or have made some sort of significant contribution in the past. If anyone posts regularly about their night, and nothing else, no hesitation will be made to delete the thread.

i'm not entirely convinced of this rule....there are (potentially) heaps of TA registered members who do minimal posts, for a variety of reasons (myself included) and so wouldn't probably rate on the 'significant contribution'...
But if i knew of an upcoming gig which wasn't already posted then i'd put it up for sure - and according to this it would most probably be deleted ......
Unless you looked at the joining date ??

...and i can tell you'll be looking at mine which also doesn't give a fair indication as i've changed names on the forum..

*puts melon back on head and runs away*

it's more with regards to promoters who specifically join to promote their event. i don't see anything wrong with TIT punters creating event threads

for sure but how would you know the difference? (Assuming they haven't named themselves after the event)

i think it is more a case of promoting for financial gain that narcism is concerned about. if you know of a gig that has not been posted and you think it is something other people should be interested in then post it. but when people are directly responsible for promoting a night that benefits them financially is where narcism proposes to tighten the screws for people that are not active on here.

to be honest i really dont care what happens, it is always entertaining reading through the different and random threads because that is where all the arguments start. if there are lots of threads that do not concern you then dont read them, that is what i do. i never look at the sydney stuff because it is sydney stuff.

narcism maybe you should just get rid of all the old threads that have not been posted in for say two weeks and be done with it and let people post whatever they want otherwise it all just gets complicated.

i agree entirely, the question is how do you quantify 'active'..??

(0.58 posts per day) = not active

Posted by tathi on Oct-26-2005 06:03:

^^ alot of people do lurk on forums without posting though (Hi Gumble!)

Posted by Dr P on Oct-26-2005 06:08:

soups I have 0.94 posts per day does that make me active?

Posted by Teflon_Teapot on Oct-26-2005 06:10:

look we can argue all day about active or not active, and what people define as contributing but at the end of the day narcism was voted mod let her do what she was elected to do and lets stop this nonsense.

god we don't run our events for the purpose of financial gain. we hardly even gain anything financially from our nights.

i think thats a silly way of looking at the whole thread bumping thing

if the organisers of the event are not constantly bumping their own threads and various other people are making contributions, queries etc, i don't see the problem with threads getting bumped.

maybe we should elect a house of representatives, we can have events advisors to help out with descisions over whos spamming and not spamming, immigration to handle n00bs signing up, foreign affairs minister to make sure we don't get invaded, SAS posters to invade other forums while our foreign minister covers for us (muahahaha fools!) teh possibilities!!!!111

that was my point too - the # of posts you make doesn't mean you are not active (Soups, it may mean we're actually waiting for something worthwhile to say)

fair enough but she did say it had to be an active and participating member so sure u may b actively browsing but it doesnt mean ur making a contribution to the forums. i think number of posts would b a better indicator as to how active they are and then its up to jolz to decide whether they have made a 'significant contribution' (as she put it)

also about the bumping thing, i dont see a problem with this as long as its not the promoter or others associated with running the event that r doing it
