I am sure that I am not alone in this, but I hate Rules! I am the kind of person that just tries to do what is right, without having to follow any stupid, stinkin’ rule! Unfortunately, there are those that will not do what is right, even if there is a Rule!
I am sure that you have noticed that I have been sending out a weekly email titled: New User Weekly Update (Read This)
What this is all about is pretty simple, new members not following the RULES! I hate having to send this email, it is a pain in the butt to have to be like a Daddy telling the kid what to do!
New Members Must Surf! This is a biggie, when a new member registers, they are required to view at least 100 pages to get their sites activated, but, from now on, there is a time limit! New members must surf those 100 pages within 2 days! That is more than ample time, it only takes less than an hour, so get surfing, those members that haven’t surfed the required amount, within that time limit will be deleted!
That is what was written previously as the Rule about new members not surfing, but this “2 Day” requirement is too hard for me to keep up with, so, I am changing it to this. Every Tuesday I will send out the above mentioned email warning new members that they must surf the required 100 pages or their account will be DELETED in about 24 hours if they do not surf.
Hey, I am a nice guy, this site is here to help everybody, I don’t want to delete or suspend any sites or accounts, but I have to, it would be unfair to the members that do surf if I just activated everything! Most of our new members do surf at least the required 100 pages, but every week I have about 3 or 4 that don’t, and most of those register over the weekend, usually Friday night for some reason, then never come back!
I send out a welcome email, most of the time, and warn them at that point, and most do come back and surf, but, those few that don’t clutter up my control panel and make it a pain in the ass to even look at the other new sites, so, every Tuesday afternoon or night, I will be sending this “Last Chance” email, then after 10pm, central time, on Wednesday night, these “Inactive” members, will lose their account. I am sorry to have to do this, but that is the way it is, if you want to be a member here, Welcome to the Team! Just like any team, there are always those that get cut, it is not personal, it is just for the good of the team!
If you wonder what the rules are, the main rules are everywhere, like on the Registration and Login pages, but here is a link to the Blog Posts about the Rules, check it out, and if you have any suggestions or comments, write them, I value your input.
In case you have never heard of it, there is a plugin, called CommentLuv, that will automatically add a link to the last post of your website, if you use the same email address as you used to write that post.
The records are being broken, this screen-shot is from a few days ago but is a good representation of what is going on here! We are staying pretty consistent, Great Job!
I noticed a few days ago that traffic has gone up, way up! Now is the time for everybody to come surf and we will hit a new milestone!
