Rules regarding CC's, promos and other events

[Dogmatic1]

Recently, there was an issue surrounding the subject of conference calls. Many of the members were unaware that Adam would be required to give his blessings for a cc's, promos, or other events, if he was not presenting the material himself. There were many members that felt that Adam was running a dictatorship. So, Adam has reiterated his stance on the subject to the Mods, in so doing, we all thought this would be great to add to the rules section of the blog. Perhaps, this will give you a little more insight and understanding of the precarious nature that an unapproved cc or other event could have. Thank you for your understanding in the matter. (All that is written in blue is from Adam);

There was a recent incident where someone gathered support from the members, built momentum, and then scheduled a conference call.

This would be fine, except...

If it happens on DV, I am personally liable for some of the end results. When people have conference calls outside of DV, that I have no control over, I am opeining myself up to huge liabilities - both legally, morally, and ethically.

As an example, this same situation happened several months ago. I noticed the topic and closed it before too many people saw it... but still quite a few people called in. They were "pitched" a very shady trust setup. Several of the members sent money to the person who organized the call.

... and to date these people haven't seen a penny of that money back, nor have they received what they paid for.

SOME of these members have asked me, "Adam why did you let this happen?!"

See how I am put in the middle, even if I didn't endorse or even know about it?

===================

My point is that NO CALLS, CHATS, or other PROMOTIONS may take place on this site without my prior approval - PERIOD.

===================

If the intent is genuine, I will always approve the call/chat/etc and even help spread the word. I will also specifically state my approval either in the thread or in a message - if you don't see my personal "stamp" on something, PLEASE put a stop to it until I can take a look! This is for our protection and for the protection of the community.

Thank you all for your tireless efforts around here. Your help is much appreciated, by myself and this amazing community.

Would it be possible to provide a link to all of the members for FREE 50% or more savings on purchases they will make anyway such as: dinner, movies, manicures, hotels, tanning, oil changes just to name a few...it is very simple, all that you do is go to this link: We are in pre-launch right now, the site will launch mid to end of next month. The program is similar to Groupon but, you can search out other deals at your leisure.

Thank you so much for your consideration...

I have a question,but am not quite sure if it belongs here or some other place. Anyways, here goes:

I have been a member as well as having VIP status in DV for three years. When I do make a post, (aithough infrequiently) I am identified as a "Newbie". I follow most all of the posts daily. My question is, how long do you have to be a member in DV to graduate from being a "Newbie"?

Changed your Member Title to Platinum VIP Member.  If you want something else, go to my Profile Feed and let me know and I'll change it.
