Rides List Moderation

[The Team]

Dear All

 

Following comments from various sources, the Team have been discussing several ways in which we believe we can improve the Rides List.

 

1)        Historically we have tried to keep the Rides List entries compact and we have limited photo replies. Subject to the caveat below, we will accept all photos that are submitted. We believe that the Rides List will lose a lot of credibility if a ride has 30 pages of broadly similar photos, so whilst we will accept all photos, please use a little common sense and try to post something that isn’t already shown. Whilst accepting all photos, we reserve the right to remove excessive photos. What constitutes “excessive” will be a Team decision and not down to any individual Moderator. We would particularly welcome older or historic photos, some of which seem to have been lost over the years.

 

2)        To improve impartiality, Team members will not be allowed to promote their own photos to be our “main” photo. This will be done by another member of the Team.  They will still post their photos to the Rides List as they have done so in the past in the same way  every other Member does and their photos may be promoted to the main photo, but never by themselves.

 

3)        Rather than post “updated” when a Rides List entry changes, the actual change will show as a reply and will be credited to the member who supplied the information, thereby allowing that member to be credited and allowing all members to see what has changed. This information will remain although we reserve the right to re-visit this decision in light of feedback and to gauge the effect it has on the Rides List. 

 

In summary, all photos will be accepted to the Rides List, but please try not to flood the list with excess/similar photo – Historic photo particularly welcome!

 

All the best
