all answers willl come with time!

if MOT wants a specific requirement for a discount
they should tell us exactly what they want
in regards to number of posts or what not
and we can update a list monthly

[Chuckie]

lol.. specifically number of posts eh..

I think meet/event attendance should be considered too.

fine by me
but some people contribute without coming to meets and are club members
and deserve the discount!

we can come up with some sort of algorithm for determining active members and take it from there

chuckie you have a job b4 school starts!

[Chuckie]

Let see.. how about this

MANITORY REQUIREMENTS

1.) You must be local, within reasonable distance of Toronto (incl. KW and Hamilton)

2.) You must have 100 posts minimum and minimum 30 posts/month (a post a day, just to be sure they are still active)
If you are contributing to the club, you atleast should have to be active on the forum.

or

donate a one time fee of $15 dollars (you will save in the long run)
this way the club will have some extre revenue


ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
In addition to the manditory requirements, you must meet atleast one of the following.

1.) attend two meets a month

2.) have bought club merchandise (some stickers/plate frame/hat/polo)

3.) be a sponsor or an affliate of the club

4.) new members must introduce themselves through the buying a mazda3 section
(they won\'t be eligible for the discount until they reach the above mentioned 100 post minimum and 30posts/month quota - consider this a probabtion period)

-Chuckie

some exceptions will of course be made, there should be a thread for people who do not meet the requirements for them to explain why they should deserve the discount and we can deal with each case individually.

[Chuckie]

In addition to getting a card, there will also be a list at MoT that will be updated monthly to weed out the people who have gone inactive.

If you lost your eligibility due to inactiveness, you may contact flippy to explain your situation and to get your discount back.

hows that?
suggestions?

if flippy and you people are okay with this, I can go ahead and compile a list of who is eligible if you want..

I like your mandatory requirements, but you lost me on the additional ones. I\'ve been a member of this board for about two years and can tell you I have NOT attended two meets per month, nor do I ever see myself doing so. Does that mean I shouldn\'t be entitled to a MofT discount?

I honestly think this is being over-complicated.

i kinda agree ^^ with him, i think the 2nd set of rules is a bit over board.....who will keep count of who attends what meets...etc? its gonna get too complicated and too much work i think...the first set of rules are reasonable....

[MajesticBlueNTO]

the Mandatory req\'s are fine and I think those are in place right now.

As for the Additional req\'s, I said this back in 04 when this same discussion came up, and i\'ll say it again... taking attendance at meets?! what is this...highschool?

[bubba1983]

.) You must be local, within reasonable distance of Toronto (incl. KW and Hamilton)



^^ lucky u specified that one!

im still stuck with the same form as vitalmotion uses...
member fee...and ONLY members who pay the annual fee are eligable for the club discounts...they recieve a card in the process!!!

but hey..what do i know!

I would gladly do that so long as the fee was not something crazy.

what they do over there....they have regular users...and Official Members.

I jus recently became an official member...
the way it works, $25 initial fee, and $10 each year after that...
if the fee\'s aren\'t paid...your not elegable for the discounts..and your official members title is taken away from you (which gives you special discounts....and other stuff)

just my thoughts...

in relation to you point about 2 meets a month...what\'s suppose to happen to the people like me for instance who are working swing shifts and do 2 weeks 7-3\'s and 2 weeks 3-12\'s and usually end up doing things at nights when i work 7-3\'s because everyone is at school or work while i wait to go to work for 3...

I don\'t even have 100 posts yet but i check the board at least twice a day if not more...I consider myself active its just I don\'t necessarily relate to that topic. so what are we just suppose to all become post whores(no offense Broli:p) now to meet a quota?

to me donating a one time fee or an annual fee is a better way to go. I say let Flip set the amount since he knows best. That way posting doesn\'t get out of control and well some people I\'m sure don\'t check the board everyday and as well what happens if I loose my net.... there are many things that could happen. but if you charge a one time or annual fee...then at least your getting money out of it for Joe to cover costs and the club to expand and offer more tm3 apparel…

[Broli]

listen

there are bigger issues than nuber of posts and membership fees and cards


who is gonna keep track?

Xe?
TM3?

i don\'t think so,

and there is no officer who would be incharge of keeping track of posting per month and etc

it will be difficult to keep track of with this current software
without keeping a list
and checking it twice

and i don\'t much feel like santa claus!



i like the ideas chuckie,
but 30 posts in a month is a lot for some members

members like camps and hypo, rarely post, but are very active in the club

membership fees are good, cause u can show ur activity, by paying a small fee

but i don\' think there is any way the club with its current set up
would have the resources to deal with money coming in
and keeping track of it
and keeping a list updated and what not

it is a lot of work
and at few people would be required to do it, or at least do it well!


that aside,

if we need to show that members are active, and if we had the facility to keep track of it
a fair way would be difficult to come up with

lets say we said

either post 30 posts/month
or
attend meets regularly (not attendence, but a rep from all the regions, would comment on attendence on a monthly, or every two month basis)
or
donate XX dollars to the club

seems fair, but may scare of new comers
they would maybe feel like they were being squeezed for cash
they could wait one to 2 months to reach the proper posting rate

or attend a few meets

but, it is hard to say what is fair



another option would be

keep an active members list (by exec discretion)
and a few execs would be responsible for updating it
and if you fall off the list you have to contact one of the execs to plead your case






again we do not have the ability to do this at this time







honestly
how many people could there really be saying they are in the club and getting the discount!
i mean they would have to know about it!

flippy, when they tell you their handle
cant you just decide if they are active or not, i mean you are on the board, if you do not recognize their handle, chances are they are not active!

[S.F.W.]

I\'m with you Broli. Untl TM3 or Xenon come clean wih regula accounting, I don\'t think membership fee\'s should be paid.

[SoopaBanana]

Well done Broli!

[SABIO]

In the end it\'s up to Joe if he gives a discount or not. Or even what kind.
If he wants to give a discount to someone from NFLD or B.C it is his choice.

LOL could this include me? unfortunately all the meet days fall on days that I work, hopefully when i get a shift change I\'ll be able to attend a meet or two. =P

number of posts could be a problem IMO. Last month or so when \"trolling\" the new topics list there wasn\'t much to contribute. Topics consisted of random nothingness. Nothing much about the club itself or the car itself. (other than this thread) or at least what has interested me. =P

donation or membership fee for the discounts could be a good idea, depending on price

[Chuckie]

don\'t worry we\'ll find a way to include you somehow.
I think it\'ll all come down to flippy\'s discretion anyway.

[stas]

Chuckie, i personally think you did go overboard with the requirements. but its all good.

I think a simple membership fee would be the best way to go. Its something that everyone can do (i hope that people can afford giving $10 a year or something). The problem is that we need to figure out what we\'ll do with the money, possibly make a list of ways the club can use it, even if we get too much money we can just give out free stickers or have special events that will be paid for by the clubs money (depends on how much we get).

I suggest we make a poll on this and other regulations and see what people think.

[Broli]

b4 going to far with future money
we should figure out where we are with current revenues

Xenon has posted up, we need to hear from TM3 and then we will be better suited to move forward!


certainly it is up to flippy to decide who gets a discount and who doesn\'t

but i though he was asking for a list or smtg?

its not only MOT, westowne asked me for a card a bunch of times

[majic]

can someone summarize all the babble into a concise list? :zzz

[stas]

I agree, so Joe if you actually going to read this thread again (since you didnt post for past 2 pages) please tell us what you\'re actually thinking of doing.

[Broli]

- joe wants list of active members
- we have no criteria
