We're looking at making improvements to the organised events section later this year. We'd welcome input on how to improve the meets/events sections particularly from people who regularly post organised events. How could we make things better for you?

An option for members to add their names to the event and is visible for others to see.

A facility for event organisers to Inbox all members on the list, without being blocked by filters.

Some filtering so that the same event isn't on the list 3 or 4 times all posted by different users.

I think it would be useful to split organised events between club events and hosted/private parties(with more than 10 attendees) Or perhaps an additonal search option for parties to save trawling through individual meets

Excellent idea in principle

The ability to mass mail everyone on a guestlist, so you dont have to C&P it individually to everyone on the guestlist.

No idea, I'm lost. Damn Sat nav!

Something that shows you are a genuine events organiser with good history of organising events within the forums.

Like a little social events organiser tick so that new members joing know if they are paying for an event that its a genuine event and not some kind of scam

And a clear copy of the site rules! Where are they? Are they under re construction? To enable us to comply with the rules, we need to know what and where they are!

i think it would help if we made a distinction between the true "social events" those being held in none play enviroments..... and "club meets".... because at the moment you have glorified club meets being dressed up as socials....

it just feel like it has been hijacked for people to advertise the latest event for the club

We definitely want to encourage more community organised free social and discourage stuff like you describe so this is definitely on our radar

Being able to advertise further in advance would be good too, we have a (not for profit) event happening on the 5th July, but currently its not possible to search, or advertise more than two months ahead. We have managed to put it out there but don't know if it will appear on that dates listings when it cones around.

And definately a bigger text allowance would be a big plus!!

Colour coding, or different categories for paid and free events, and a seperation between play and social events too has been mentioned, and we would love to see that.

I saw another thread where being able to mail multiple people with one message would be good, like when people put their names down for a social, and then you want to send them the details.

Sure, you can copy and paste, but doing that over 100 times can be a real drag lol!

To avoid people using it to spam the site, maybe limit it to the OP of a thread, and them only able to mail those that have responded on the thread?

I fully agree the clubs section needs updating in the forums. I went into the forums the other day and clicked on 4 separate ads from four separate profiles all advertising their local club this does get a little bit too much and with out naming the club it happened to be one local to me. I felt that they are taking over the forums. To curb this think the clubs that are hosting the events should be the only ones allowed to advertise the event and stop the private profiles from duplicating the the events as this clogs of the forums with the same club add. It is also unfair on the other clubs that abide by the rules and only advertise weekly some clubs have got around with by getting private profiles to advertise these clubs. One way to stop this from happening is that ads to be put under the header of the club name in the forums and contained in the club folder as such instead or being scattered all over the place this will keep the forums club ads a lot more tidy.

How do you stop people who are excited about an event from advertising? We certainly do not actively encourage anyone to advertise on our behalf unless they are actually hosting an event of their own at our club. Bit of a difference
