02/2006 - BOD Membership Requirements
This has been voted on and approved by the business members and will be the RULE going forward.
All current members are grandfathered in and will not need a new poll.
Remember the groups are color coded. The Business members are red/orange.
Administrators | Super Moderators | Headquarters | BOD
- You must be a member in good standing.
- You can be nominated by anyone in BOD, HQ, or Business groups.
- You must have at least 1,000 posts*.
- Must have met & hung out with at least one Business member or two Headquarter's members for one night or afternoon.
- You need at least 65% of the votes to be Yes/Approve in an open but private vote in the BOD Forum, the poll will run for 7 days.
*Each nomination by a Business Member = +250 posts

Good, it's now in writing for all to review. Not sure if i agree with that +250 added to posts because it seems as though a click could get someone in with 1 post. But it is what it is.
Now how about a thread for HEADQUARTERS membership?

No lets keep the newbies out of HQ and Business Discussion for the forseeable future.
BOD is a good place to start, but lets not get ahead of ourselves.
The last thing we need is Agent Mulder and Scully in HQ gathering intel before they ship us all off to Rikers and Spofford.

I felt the 250 post clause was cool since it only applies to Business members, let's say you meet a Mac Daddy who doesn't liek to type a lot except for trip reports. Well you might be inclined to sponsor him and add 250 posts to his total.
As for the HQ post, it's here:

Re: BOD Membership Requirements
I appreciate the explanation but is that what we really want, members basically adding 1000 posts to a members count just to get him in? So if we're not gonna abide by a minimum post count rule, then just eliminate them. I would rather no post count rule then to have members disregard it when they feel like it. Just my two cents!

I think you misunderstand. That's exactly my point, why have the rule at all? In fact, we(including myself) just voted 2 members into HQ who were well below the minimum. One member by almost 1000 posts. So instead of creating reasons and going to the small print to bypass rules, why not just eliminate it all together.

How many people take 1,000 pictures then post them? 2% of the total population here?

As we grow we will learn.
Re: BOD Membership Requirements
In a nutshell, B o D are guys that you would hang out with on trips and HQ are guys that would be invited into the Scarface mansion.
There is no place in the private sections for lone rangers or for guys that never want to mix it up with other ISOC members.
Re: BOD Membership Requirements
Exactly what Jimmy said! :)
Re: BOD Membership Requirements
Not everyone needs to see the Scarface Mansion...
You can't give everyone the MTV MUSIC AWARD BACK STAGE PASS!!!!

Re: BOD Membership Requirements
Well if you walk in while we are staying at the scarface mansion you will see lots of male/female naked bodies. Just ask Jimmy. And don't say i didn't warn you!!
