Moderator for Membership Management

[Deleted]

Hi everyone,
just to let you all know that we have a new forum Moderator .

JBJ (Jailbarjuice) is going to take care of management of forum membership.

JBJ and Boots are longstanding members of our forum (3.5 years) and have been great contributors to the forum, and regular attendees at many V V events both in NSW and QLD ....JBJ is also well known on the hot rod scene with his famous Jailbar hot rod .

JBJ takes a keen interest in our forum membership, and has witnessed it grow to the 800 odd members we now have, .......or do we
Its been interesting watching the replies to the "VC legal stuff" post, as the replies fall well short of our supposed membership Nos.

So, ...... rather than admin just deleting members who have not replied by the end of this week, JBJ has some good membership management ideas that he will implement over the next few months ...... with time permitting....

JBJ will have moderating powers whereby he can contact all members via email (not PM), and delete members in need (or ban, so be nice to JBJ ;D).....his moderating role will be ongoing.

We welcome JBJ to the "vintagecaravans.com" admin team,

Mark

Yo JBJ
Now that you have been ordained "Minister'of memberships

Will ......."Sinners" who have blasphemied in the past and spoken out against forum Blue blood holyness be allowed to rejoin the "congregation" after serving penance.
or do things like what i am refering to still need to be refered to the "Archtaylorbishop" @ vatican W.A. com

If feel this would be a good way of getting packed houses every evening back here on the forum.
The forum collection tray would runneth over with donations from eager followers of the vintage van denomination. ;D ;D

Praise the lowered...

Hi Reddo & others,


My task is to tidy up the existing membership ONLY.

I have no input, nor want any, in the decisions regarding any new membership or the one you mentioned.

Any members that I can make contact with, will be sent an email by me indicating what is proposed, with 2 weeks to reply. If no response by then they will be deleted

Thats about all I can see that will be fair.

There are still duplications of membership in the system.

There is a hell of a lot of invalid email adresses. Those "members" will be immediately deleted.

I will also be documenting all I do & be able to account for everything I do.

Hopefully I wont get myself into as much trouble as I normally seem to.

No worries mate.
I have never taken too much notice of forum numbers . They are just numbers.
Its the numbers and the names that go with them that turn up at runs and events that i am most interested in..... the 1% that actually walk the walk. ;D ;D

Good luck with it.

Congratulations JBJ,

The only advice I could offer is....... do your job, bite your tongue, keep your head down, watch your rear, get ready to duck, cross your fingers, and pray.

Cobber ;D

[atouchofglass]

All the best at your new painsition ..... position... ;D ;D ;D

Most management postions are thankless....
Seems that V V is a little different by the congrats posts you've recieved....

Your new title must now be JBJ MMM ??

Congrats

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for stepping up to the plate and helping to sort out the Membership side of things.

I'm sure you will do a great job.

See you both at Coledale.

Regards
Di

[JBJ]

Thanks Di,

Amazing things are happening since I started emailing the less active members.

I notice lots of logged in members that havent done so for a while.

I've so far sent emails to around 25% of members that haven't agreed to Marks Legal Agreement ( which really was the purpose of what I'm doing), & found around 2 in every 10 have invalid email adresses, so I cant contact them.

They unfortunately then get deleted, because you cant be a forum member without a valid email adress.

If I inadvertantly delete someone that wished to remain a member, they can allways rejoin. I'm only deleting, not banning from future membership.

I've also cleaned up a lot of duplications where the same email adress referred to up to 3 members.


But the good part of it all, is that Marks getting lots of new members every day almost.


I dont know where this leads to, but it has to be better with a realistic data base.

JBJ

Hope we don't get to a point where we have more "admin team members" than members ;D ;D.

Hi All,


Something I hoped would happen is starting to work.

A lot of the members were deleted because the email adress they joined under had become invalid, through various reasons such as their changing it , & because of that they never received the email I sent to them. Seeing we couldnt contact them they were removed from the membership list.

Now I'm noticing a few old names rejoining, with a new email adress. When they rejoin using their original name, all of their previous posts are reinstated.


So the interested ones that rejoin have to agree to Marks agreement on rejoining, which is what we originally set out to do.

Hopefully numbers will rebuild a bit after my massacre.

JBJ
