·Okay,
I did a lot of thinking today and finally got my head straight round a few things that were going on and thought that it would be best as the founder of this site to set out some ground rules that we can all follow so that we do not have a repeat of the past weeks events that have caused so many problems both on the site and in our personal lives.
The Committee below has been selected by me and the reason that I have a committee is so that we can better serve the members of this site and grow it as a bunch of people that can pull in the same direction and can communicate with each other.
We all need to trust each other in what we do and help each other out and follow the undermentioned set of rules, if one cannot do this and does not like me heading this site up then please email me and I will make you a Member of the site with the blessing of all of us and no bad feeling at all.
The Committee as at now will be:
Si Buckden
Chairman/Events and other stuff no one wants to do
Lee Cheung
Site Treasurer
Nicci Deftereos
Site Admin
Pete Stewardson
Vice Chairman/ICE Section
Jennie
Discounts Section
Fliss
Ladies Section
Abi
Competitions
Tom Smith
London/Home Counties and Insurance
Andy Jones
SW Region and Links
Dave Mason
Scots Section/NSPCC
Dave MaGowan
Scots Section
Tom Bell
Central England
Matt G
IT
Andrew Holloway
IT
Matt Jones
Merchandise(TBC)
Steve Johnson
Mechanical/Modifications
Ben
Parts
Carl Brighton
TBC
Graham Dixon
TBC
The TBC ones are peeps that I am not sure whether to stay or go or whether we need the position that they are currently doing, to be honest we do not need moderators, we need people who are going to look after a section on the site and we can share the moderating between us.
I will speak to the people individually and see what they want to do.
There will now be no site Webmaster as it has caused conflict and problems and so Andrew and Matt should they wish to remain will be have equal billing as IT for the site and then there should be less problems, so the [email protected] will go and be replaced.
Okay the following is a set of guidelines that I would like us all to follow and it should make communication better and the committee work a lot better, please email me if there are any worries.
1. Any problems that now occur with people in the committee should be discussed in this section with an appropriate title and should remain in this section alone and all committee members will be involved. If a committee member is found to be discussing another committee member outside of this section then they will be asked to leave the committee. This way we can discuss problems with each other in here.
2. Any posts that have been deleted on the forum must be reported in this section with the circumstances behind the deletion posted. If there are problems with an individual on the site they will be discussed in here and a vote will be held as to what action shall be taken. The Chairman will hold the casting vote in a tie.
3. No further posts attacking an individual or a company or any swearing will be allowed on this site and that means ANY individual including the Chairman. Moderators will edit the post where necessary and inform the poster by PM why they have done this and the policy on the forum.
4. If you cannot move a post please report it in this section and an Administrator will then remove the post or edit it.
5. The site will now be copyrighted so any member of the committee that chooses to amend, change, take offline or take the site elsewhere will be removed from the committee and the chairman will take legal action to protect the site.
6. Where possible, all members of the committee are to welcome new members or post when there is a members birthday, at present some do this and some dont.
7. Any decisions regarding money or any other major decisions will be discussed in this committee area and if neccessary a vote will be taken and the outcome will be adhered to by all committee members.
8. Any IT updates or new ideas etc etc are to be reported to all members of the committee so that everybody knows what is happening, especially if there is a problem so that a committee member may place a post or a message informing the members.
9. Any additions to the committee are to be discussed in this area and if necessary a vote will be taken and the result adhered to by all committee members.
10. Any committee member communicating the contents of this section or any committee business with anybody outside of the committee will be removed from the committee.
11. Any other major issues are to be raised with the Chairman in the first instance and then the Vice Chairman in the second instance.
12. It is asked that committee members support other xcommittee members and do not just concentrate on their own sections and promote working together.
13. If you have posted a new thread in this section, please send an email to the committee email group and use the heading "New Thread In The Committee Section" so that everybody knows. These emails do not need to be replied to.
14. If an important email has to be sent round the committee, please do not reply and muck around as many of these emails go to peoples work and they get into trouble.
I think that this covers most of the bits and pieces that have come up over the last couple of days and if anybody has any additions then please be constructive and if anybody feels that they cannot adhere to these guidence rules then please leave the committee and no ill feeling will follow.
I would like everybody to have a SE email address and for us to use that for site business.
Unless anybody thinks its a bad idea, could we all have this email and what we do on the site to let people know and contact you directly so that it doesnt all go to the Webmaster or Info which i get
I would like to propose that Quarterly Meets are held in the chatroom and are minuted and kept and that an agenda is sent out before the meet so that issues can be raised.
Please could I ask that you support the site charity NSPCC and the work that we will do with them as It will be great publicity for this site.
Could we also not talk about ideas for the new site or ongoing projects on the main site so that the ********* spies can come over and copy more of what we have done.
Please could I ask that Matt and Andrew get together and come up with how they would like the updates to arrive so that it will assist in updating and if we can arrange for updating to be made easier then we can ease the burden and let you guys develop the site and forum. I would then like this posted on the site. Could we also all try and make an effort to do a few words every now and again on the news section telling peeps what we are up to and our latest updates.
I think thats about it for now, I hope that bridges can be built again and that we can now work as a team, what has gone by has gone by and there is no point talking about the past.
Many thanks for your time.
