it has a very valid point, at least now its obvious who we should, and should not listen to in regard to dga matters, it also makes it easy to directly approach the appropriate dga member if you have any points to discuss. that said, someone care to point out the difference between 'forum liaison' and 'public officer'?
Quote from paladin: that said, someone care to point out the difference between 'forum liaison' and 'public officer'? being the public officer, my duty is very defined in an association. I am responsible for - signing all legal demands made by the association
- ensure audited accounts are lodged with the commissioners office
- ensure records are retained for 7 years.
- must take all reasonable steps to ensure the association complies with the associations act..
- ...and many other boring things. the forum liaison posts stuff to the public about decisions made by the committee and relays any information we've missed back to us.. that's why it's the forum liaison.
Quote from paladin: that said, someone care to point out the difference between 'forum liaison' and 'public officer'? Forum liaison is responsible for relaying information from out private forum to you gamers such as LAN dates, new and exciting things as well as other things you guys would be interested in. also to relay information such as suggestions, complaints and problems the gamers lay down back to the rest of the officials.
Public officer is to make sure we are keeping our business on track within the law and to chase up much needed sponsorship.
Although I suddenly feel disempow-wuhed, I'd add that this is a good idea.
You might consider badges, and signs on tables.
Nevertheless you'll still get a lot of people coming to the wrong table. Whenever I'm at Freedom LANs I get approached with cash by thirsty people, even when I've decided to be a paying customer incognito.
Admins pay for entry and membership the same as everyone else, they just take time out of thier lives to ensure that the LAN functions well on the day and before and after the event. Makes you wonder why we do it........
I am only new to this forum and it seems the "crew" (admins, mods, committee) do a good job and take a lot of s*%t from the general public. it seems it is a thankless job, organising a LAN and Great forum for the rest of us. They should be Thanked and helped (where possible) - not criticized. i have been on this type of committee in the past and not many people see all the work that goes in behind the scenes. i have been to a few DGAs and they seem to be well organized and well administered - THANKS to all the committee and job well done! :)
