--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More Specifically:
The community Central forum has several specialized sub-forums, for the ZUBC/podcast, Meet-ups, and Awards. Those are all quite self-explanitory.
In this main, general community central forum, there seems to be a bit of confusion about what is and is not "Community Central" business.
Community Central approved stuff:
- Fund-raisers for ZU or a charitable, already established cause
- Projects Activities, competitions, basically anything that gets the community together to do something fun.
- Anything that generally involves people of the community interacting on a level that goes beyond simple discussion of said topic.
Community Central No-No threads:
- Any thread devoted to one person or "fan club". those things are to be conducted using the user groups feature.
- Any product/member/celebrity/tv show "appreciation" threads. again, this can either be discussed in the existing forums for such discussions, or make a user group for it.
A few last rules/reminders:
Any project you think about undertaking must first be presented and discussed in this thread(
ZU Community Center). I don't want this forum full of dead (albeit, however well-intentioned) projects.
The ZU Community Center (this thread):
This very thread that I am posting in now (and you are reading
) is to be used for general
chit-chat about current projects, and especially for the
discussion of possible future projects. And for
general fun-times, of course,
but I WILL crack down on spam/pointless/rude posts, k?
The Bulletin Board: If you are heading a project and need help, ask for it
here!
Community Coordinators:
We have a special user group for "Community Coordinators".
Anyone who starts a project that is approved by
ZU and garners enough interest to actually start, will receive a Community Coordinator banner, access to the hidden Community Coordinators forum, along with a bigger inbox and the ability to send out more pm's, so that their jobs can be done more easily.
Important: when a project/event is complete, A Community Coordinator relinquishes their banner and access to the hidden forum.
Dog Dog 123 and Mattocks are the Head Community Coordinators, meaning that we are basically in charge of keeping track of all currently happening events, as well as helping decide what suggested new projects will get
ZU's blessing (we can only have so many projects going at once, lest we spread ourselves too thin).
If you have an idea for a project and want the community coordinator banner and need access to the hidden forum, speak with Mattocks and Dog Dog 123 about it to see if it gets official approval.
If you have any
questions or concerns, please address them in the this thread. Thank you.
