Andrew:

There were at least 3 things I wanted to ask you, and I can't even remember one. FML.


Everyone:

1. Respect EVERYONE.
2. No cursing, cussing, swearing or any other unnecessary vulgar language of the sort.
3. Never tell people they suck or that you are better then them, rather, give them advice to help them improve.
4. Do not demand respect without a video and even then don't demand respect.
5. Do not make stupid posts or spam existing posts.
6. No porn or related links.
7. No pirated music or movies.
8. No Racism.
9. No "profit" advertising in the forums.
10. No drug or alcohol related threads, this includes "Posting Under the Influence".
11. Do not post in threads you know nothing about or give advice on things you cannot do yourself.
12. Post new topics in their respective categories.
13. Do not double post but if you do, delete the duplicate post.
14. Use the edit button instead of making a new post if you forgot something.
15. There is a Private Messanging system for personal conversations so don't use the forum for that.
16. If you start accumulating too many Private Messages, delete the ones you do not need anymore or they will ALL be deleted.
17. Keep the information in your profile up to date.
18. Do not abuse this site in any other way.
19. If you get warned do not argue just review these rules in order to avoid further warnings.
20. Obey these rules and you will be fine.

Those are the rules. The infraction system is your friend. Cussing/vulgar language is a big one that we need to crack down on more. Another is #1. Recently with TRW people we've been neglecting these a bit. Deleting one or two posts from a thread to "fix" it is a lot better than having to delete a whole topic.




Kieran (and everyone else):

As we discussed via PM, here are the old rules for COTW/POTW:

- Only 1 submission per person, per week.
- One submission per photographer, per week.
- Riding/Action shots are what we are looking for.
- Video grabs are not photos, do not bother with them.
- Photoshop is alright as long as its within reason.
- Include with entry: Rider Name, Trick, Location, Photographer. If you do not your entry will be disqualified.
- Photos are to be given through an EXTERNAL LINK (such as through Photobucket or Flickr .) Entries sent with a photo ATTACHED IN AN EMAIL WILL BE DISQUALIFIED
- Entries are due by 11:59PM Friday, as to have all Saturday to be voted on.

COTW Rules:
Entries are sent to SRCOTW@gmail.com (SRCOTW (at) gmail (dot) com)

- One Rider
- 3 clips Max. (individual tricks or lines)
- 30 Second Max.
- No editing allowed except slo-mo, fades, and your name
- Clips must be unreleased
- Winner picked based on trick difficulty and originality, as well as video quality.
- Videos must be hosted on an external website that allows us to embed the video on the front page (such as Youtube or Vimeo).
- Include Rider Name and Location
- Entries are due by 11:59PM Friday, as to have all Saturday to be voted on.

Anyone feel free to add/remove rules as they please. We'll get a solid set of rules going soon. IMO, POTW is fine as is, but I'd like to see VOTW changed into this:

This is how simple SR's new VOTW is:

1. There is a five second time minimum, and a two minute time maximum.
2. One rider per entry, per week.
3. The entry must include minimally the rider's name featured in the video. (Please also include: rider, editor, and filmer's names. Also, the artist's name along with song title if music is used)

That's it!

Yes, that's right! Super 60's are now allowed, a day video is allowed, and normal clips are allowed! Titles/music are now allowed too! Filmers/Editors - NOW is the time to show off your skills, with the new VOTW from Scooter Resource.

Brock:

I know we spoke briefly on facebook about your involvement as media/photoshop guy here. How soon can we expect to see the "best of" banners for users to use? If the riders desired, mods and admins are allowed to use HTML in user titles. This means that a user could potentially have their username, location, post count, avatar, and a separate image all alongside every post they make here in the forums.


If anyone else has any specifics they'd like to go over, lets do it here. As always, PM system and content@scooterresource.com are available for use if you'd prefer.



<33 Let's get SR back on track.

OK I'm definitely gonna crack down on the rules, needs to be done.

With regards to Potw/Votw, I'm cool with those rules. Let me know when you have the e-mail accounts linked and I will begin.

One thing though, does my account need to be put in the 'wp writer' group for me to be able to post the articles? How does that work?

Have you already tried to log into wordpress?

I'll add you to that group assuming you can't log in. I want you to be able to go on there and mess around a little before you have to post updates.

I got into wordpress but it says to click on "posts" to write stuff. Do I assume that I can do that once you put me in the wp-author group? (or whatever its called)

You're added in there, you can do a test post or something if you'd like. Make sure to delete it though.

Awesome, I remember you saying that now. I couldn't remember, I'm pretty sure I was the opposite of sober last time we spoke.

I remembered 2:

1. How is the chat/shout box coming along?
2. Kieran sent me an e-mail in PM of which e-mail he wanted to forward the entries for POTW/VOTW. Unfortunately, I have since deleted the PM to free space (was 100% full) and of course lost it.. haha.

Does it look like that for you?

I own SR.
i will have the emails forward and play around with the posting permissions.

Actually, if you feel like using Outlook or Mail I can just set up a password for you to use on those emails and you wont have to forward anything.

Meh Outlook doesn't agree with my PC very well for some reason :/ Need a new pc but anyway. Probably best to stick with forwarding them.

However I still can't get the right links to come up on wp.

Is there something I'm not doing right? Do I need to re login or something?

I'm not sure. Andrew is either on a plane right now or in Australia/NZ. He is putting me in contact with his web guy while he's down there though so we can get the chatbox up and going and hopefully that guy will be able to get you into wordpress. I'm not sure what else needs to be done for that.

OK well I will read up the documentation on WordPress and see if I can find anything.
