Site rules and Charter

Tue, 2007-03-13 15:34 — CraigW

Rensselaeronline.org is a privately owned website with a
civic-minded goal: Provide information about Renssealer
the City in NY. There are many interesting and fun things to do here in the capital
region. Let’s identify things that make Rensselaer
interesting.

  • Publish an up to date review of local business
  • Provide local calendar information, such as City hall hours and location.
  • Provide contact information for local government
  • Provide an open door for business and community involvement in a friendly and positive way
  • Provide local event coverage and scheduling
  • Provide some of the information lost when the city stopped hosting rensselearonline.com

This is a community driven website. The site owner has little time to dedicate to this project. It will be up to the community to participate.

How can you participate? In one of several ways:

  • Review a Rensselaer based company
  • Write an article promoting or reviewing a local special event (add it to the calendar!)
  • Provide city trivia
  • Have a room or apartment to rent? Describe it here with pictures if possible
  • Promote volunteer activities
  • Anything else?

    • Here are the Rules of participation here:

    1. This
      is NOT an anonymous site. Participants will register with their first
      names at the least. It is perfectly acceptable to register, as the site
      owner did, as CraigW.
    2. During
      the registration process you will be asked for a phone number. This is
      important, since sometimes information will need to be updated regularly.
      My phone number is 518-587-2606. Please identify yourself as calling about
      the website rensselaeronline.org.
    3. This IS a good faith website. As in real estate “All information
      deemed accurate but not reliable.”
    4. The site owner takes no liability for what you post, regardless of moderation
      settings.
    5. There are two levels of contributors: Moderated contributors and Contributors.
      This is because the site interface (aka drupal)
      is complex and often evolving. I want to try to fit the posts into the
      site as well as possible, as well as adding text or graphics. Spelling
      counts.
      1. Moderated
        contributors have their posts checked by Craig or authorized moderator
        prior to post. Everyone starts out here.
      2. As
        your knowledge in use of the interface grows, you may be allowed to post things
        directly.
    6. Post because you want to inform, educate, or promote. Don’t post to harm, embarrass,or be vile.
    7. Have fun.
