      IRC Nickname: Abs Group: Emeritus Posts: 2071 Member No.: 4 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 97    | Well, a month ago or so I thought to myself and with the opinions of other Council/Staff: "Man, the attendance list is so hard, complicated and boring to update, there must be an easier way for us to monitor activity, and for that, we need to fix updating attendance" I couldn't think of anything, the ideas I thought of were probably all too hard to do on our Forums lol, so I went to Robbie and proposed my "Idea". As he always does, he magically had a better idea than mine lol, as he knows the limits of these forums. Robbie came up with the idea of Rolling Event Count. I will explain how this works. You have Two new fields, as you've already noticed: -Total Events ~ Total Events is the number of Total Events you have been to. -The colourful bar ~ The Rolling Event count is how we monitor your Activity. This is how it works: 1. You attend an event. 2. As always, attendance is taken. 3. Staff go to this link: http://www.wildernessguardians.com/attendance/edit.php 4. It'll redirect members to just the attendance list, but we see this:  5. As you can see, there are tick boxes to add 1 or subtract 1 to your attendance, then hitting "Update" will update your attendance. 6. What exactly will this do? This will add 1 Counter to your Total Events, it will also add 1 Counter to your Rolling Event count, which will affect the colourful bar on your forums. What does the Rolling Event counter exactly do you ask? Well every week on Saturday 08:00 British Summer Time the counter will reduce by 1. We will check every Sunday Morning GMT for anyone on -1, we will check Inactivity to weed out anyone inactive, then they will be spoken to and if continue will get warnings and removed from the clan unless a valid excuse is given. AbsJr Total Events ~ 105 Rolling Events ~ 2 AbsJr has attended 4 Events recently. AbsJr Total Events ~ 105 +4 = 109 Rolling Events ~ 2 +4 = 6 (Colourful Bar closer to green) Ah, but however: DaleJr Total Events ~ 10 Rolling Events ~ 2 DaleJr has not attended any events for 3 weeks !!!!! DaleJr Total Events ~ 10 Rolling Events ~ -1 Oh dear! DaleJr has -1 Events, this means he hasn't attending his one event a week!, he will be spoken to, and if he does it again within the next 2 months, he will get a 20% Warn! --------- That is it really, ONCE AGAIN, I'd like to Thank Robbie for setting everything up, oh and also to George for doing a brilliant job getting everyone's Total Attendance transferred, and many other stuff. Thanks guys, ~Abs --------------------  "I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

No no, I was just trying to show you how we actually update it. All YOU have to do is come to the event and make sure someone gets the attendance pic xD Leave the rest to us. ~Abs -------------------- "I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

 IRC Nickname: Trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls Group: Banned Posts: 2956 Member No.: 422 Joined: April 4, 2008 Total Events Attended: 130 | In my opinion it's an EXCELLENT idea. Updating the old attendance was so very very tedious. This should make it a lot easier and also more accurate. I love the idea of a rolling event attendance. One suggestion though: In order for it to not be used for possibly bullying or slagging someone off for their low event attendance count, i'd probably suggest it being like warn levels. Each user can see their own bar, and also the Tertiary Leaders+ (The ones who can make changes). ~Mugger84 -------------------- Mugger84 Member Of WG Since 4th April 2008.

i was going through the events I attended since i rejoined on June 5th there was about 3 events, No Attendence. I had a list of 9-10 events and George could only give me credit for 5 of them. Not complaining. But maybe the reason the attendence is so hard to update is because of that. --------------------    | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Colin Group: Ex-Member Posts: 2039 Member No.: 68 Joined: December 31, 2007 Total Events Attended: 69 | Seems a little too complex. Is an event attendance count really worth all this work? It just think that members will come to events when they want and that's that.

Totally agree with you here. I'm not that active in attending events myself. Not into spending most of my day in front of my computer when most of the events are at like midnight. I hope the council/tertiaries take special circumstances (timezones, for instance) into consideration. -------------------- | ||||

| IRC Nickname: Abs Group: Emeritus Posts: 2071 Member No.: 4 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 97 | It's only One Event a week, there's lots of Events, I'm sure you can come to at least one, and hey if you go to 2 for a week, you can miss out on the next week, we have reduced our strictness a lot. And it isn't complex, this is by far the easiest way to update attendance yet! xD ~Abs -------------------- "I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

The requirement was there before, its just that no one bothered to enforce it(aside from extreme cases). As such, everyone complained about members being inactive, and said that they were active... Well, here is absolute proof of someones (in)activeness. Also, only Active Member Ranks will have one deducted from the rolling count each week - Emeritus don't have that. I am also thinking of changing it a bit, such that official war attendance counts as double, as an incentive. Perhaps also make a bunch of training sessions(Piling, hugging, spamming, tanking and such) which count also? -RobbieThe1st -------------------- Old Avatar - Paypal donation link  I am left handed, and proud of it!
