It's me again....did you miss me??
I've continued to read up on this thread. It looks like you're having problems with the rules. Keep this in mind....."the goverment that governs least, governs best". If you're having problems getting people to agree with the rules, maybe you need to look at them again. I'm not saying I like the rules, or I don't....but rather than going gun ho into something...step back and take a look at everything.
Here's a few suggestions for ya......
I've seen a few people having a problem with putting stickers on their trucks. I can see where. Several people on this site are proud of their x's looks just as proud of being a member of the site. Something as longterm as a sticker maybe out of the question. Why not try a different type of sticker?? I know they make a type that will stick to the glass, but you can easly pull it off. The same type of stickers that the Garfield ones you see. Not that I've got one.
Another one I've heard problems on the "conduct" of the members. I can see where you would like to keep the conduct of everybody on the high side, but loosen up. Unless you wish to make this a 24/7 headache... Sit back and enjoy it. Take a look at what you agreed to when you signed up for the site. If we all would follow this all the time....we'd all be in trouble.
"Annoying and obnoxious behavior (to be determined by the Administrator or Moderators) will receive 2 warnings. If this behavior continues, a ban of 2 weeks will be the implemented. Beyond that, instances will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. "
The bad seeds will be one in a few.....so I would put that much weight on that one, if it's used at all.
Of coarse there's the biggy!! Making the meetings.
This one maybe tuff...do you want to make the rules for today, or for the future?? You may suffer a small loss in members at the current time if you say you must make the meetings, but after a few years it will help you gain a membership of people that are active. If you do the other way around you're membership will increase now, but you'll have some members not active. It's a double edge sword. It's up to you.
I've read over the rules and to be honest with you, some of them are not needed. The one about illegal activity may be a bit uncalled for. I see where you're going with it, however illegal activity isn't ok anywhere. I think that one is common since.
Any other questions or ideas I can help you on just give me a ring.....I'm here to help.
BTW....monkey boy(you know who you are).....I'll keep an eye out for you. I'm almost always on the chat room...I'd like to talk to you tonight.
