If a thread is started by a WYIOC member, it is not allowed to go off the bottom of the page without at least 5 replies, WYIOC club law.

This showing a little interest even if just to disagree, decline, this will have the benefit of boosting post counts and threads, and making the thread starter at the least feel loved.

Seriously it will help us all be active, and prompt us all to try that bit harder keeping the forum thriving.

I noticed stringostar put a thread up about a meeting at squires last night, and no replies. even a no sorry is better than a complete zilch.

I can understand it, if it was naked women, men or ****, not getting a great deal of response but chit chat and meets or anything else should get a little of the WYIOCS responsive juices flowing, like said if if to decline disagree bla bla.

I know what's going to happen now, this thread is going off the bottom of the page with a tumbleweed and the toll of a lonely bell

In truth I feel this is a good call though

well at least four of you

 

Nice suggestion Sir.

We can have this added to the 56 page constitution at Para 9.4(posting) sub para 6.

Just before para 10 - Club Initiation ceremonies...all 55 pages of it

I must admit to not being able to keep up with all the posts nowadays, but a few answers would be welcomed...

Just like this one...

 

ok

 

its ok if no one replies.... maybe they missed it, or didnt have time to reply... if anyone was interested then they would have replied no harm done

 

Talking of creative juices...

If people have other suggestions for a few simple rules around decorum, WYIOC privileges (items for offer) or other suggestions to aid forum life.. then we can also discuss them here for a sticky thread....

To give you an idea where I'm going, we have the classic that if the poster suggests something, then that person organises..

 

well the xmas beer session fell flat on its face and nothing has been organised.

 

WHAT'S A THREAD ?

Opps shouting again...

Dunx

P.S. My un-wanted input is directly proportional to the dire quality of the weather...

 

Good point, and exactly why Mick's idea is a good one.

Any event obviously needs people to attend.. so, in this case, the organiser of the Xmas beer session (you?) would have had an idea if it was a goer or not. As it stands, it's been left hanging, which is not helpful to the organiser or people who are probably waiting to see how it pans out from other people stating their intention...

 

its not hanging al, it was under a vote.. ia sked people where they wanted to go, and then ended up putting how about a night out in waki followed by a curry.. i then asked for dates of when people could attend, or i could suggest some dates.. as a result, no one has come back to me!

i enjoy organising things, but input from others is what we need when trying to get things organised.

 

Any club needs active organisers.. but from WYIOC experience, not every event comes off despite the passion and commitment of the organiser(s)...

The trick is knowing when the event reaches that point of no return... which then means moving on to the next idea... Posting on a bulletin Board doesn't help... Two reasons;

• Everything is so slow and people don't get on here as much as they or the club want when trying to get something going quickly..
• People are always initially enthusiastic and committed, but there's always a drop out out at the last second for various reasons. Mainly because the club isn't a primary focus in peoples busy lives and other things like partners, children, money and mortgages take precedence........

Again from bitter experience, we've had good looking events (similar in scope and idea to the Stelvio trip) pulled at the last second due to several people pulling out for various reasons. This is why we've gone straight for the money deposits early on in the Stelvio tour to hopefully prevent that by focusing peoples attention to the reality straight away...

Keep plugging away young Jedi.. Add longevity & commitment to your passion and I see great potential... (that really was a Star Wars reference rather than me being patronising....)

I REALLY enjoy these type of club debates... great for blowing away the fluff and injecting some life......

 

yes master i feel the force.

 

look 12 replies, what have i started i do believe their is some mileage in this.

 

Debate the usefulness of actually having a thread with these on... are they really helpful?

Remember we aren't a 'clip board club' and these are simply to help people get the best from the forum and help reduce confusion rather than stating how they should post..

How about these for a starter for 10...

1. If you post an idea for an event or doo, then you should be prepared to arrange it. You may get some help, but then again.....

2. If a thread is started by a WYIOC member, it is not allowed to go off the bottom of the page without at least 5 replies. This shows a little interest, even if just to disagree or decline. This will also help the organiser understand how the idea has gone down and make them feel a little more loved.

3. Any post in the forum area is assumed to be aimed at Club members. If you post a thread for an event or sale item open to all, then 'all' is deemed to be club members. If you wish it to be wider, then please make that clear or post in the other areas.
