Hi people. We are looking for a few more event admins to help on the site. All events that get uploaded onto the site need to be given the once over by an event admin and then okay'd.

We can't offer you any money, but we will give you the ocassional free beer when we see you out and also our everlasting gratitude.

You need to be pretty savvy with computers, and know the site inside out.. having a basic grip of HTML is a must.

Please give me a call on 07916 8355599 (office hours) if you fancy it!

:)

EDIT - Thanks.. all positions full!

Sorry about the stacked number of events lately John, exams coming up! Don't have any free time to do them...

Sorry...

Exams?!?! bah! thats no excuse! ;)

I'll help out anyway I can John, but do I need a Windows PC or can it be done on a mac?

John your know il help, html skills are very basic, im a fast learner and a bored student so im more then willing, but i do know what u guys look for etc in events and so on. at the very least i can help with the photo moderation!!

Need more Info on this if possible.

Interesting but what sort of Events Admin do you need. Does one have to have their fingers on the button for their favourite nightclub or is it just about what DJs are appearing locally ????

Do one need to be employed in clubbing land etc ???
Does one have to be authorised by the clubs or local events ??

I do have a little experience on HTML btw

Thanks

Terry

Count me in John - i've been writing in HTML since '95 (shit, has it really been 10 years!) so like to think i have a basic grasp of it's concepts!

Also i believe that i know the site inside and out!

Count me in - I seem to have a lot of spare time..

Cheers dudes, gimmie a call at some point today and i'll set you up.

As event admins, you have to do the followings:

Approve/Moderate Venues

• Delete this venue if its a duplicate of an existing venue.


• Ensure venue name, place, poscode, address, contact details, picture and any other given information are correct.
  
• Only venues details and no specific event details are in it.
  
• This is a real venue and not someone's house! Private parties move the event to "a secret location in $place" before you delete the venue otherwise the event will be deleted with it!
  
• Links to outside DSI uses target="_blank" to open in new window.
  


• Send a PM to the owner of the venue explaining what you have modified/delete and why.

Approve/Moderate Events

• Delete this event if its a duplicate of an existing event.
  
• Event name must not contain DSI if its not an event run by DSI directly. Just being on DSI does not qualify an event as a DSI event!
  
• Ensure event name, date, time, venue its at, DJ listings, contact details, brand(s), pictures and any other given information are correct.
  
• This is a real event that exists. If its a private party move it to "a secret location in $place".
  
• Links to outside DSI uses target="_blank" to open in new window.
  
• Send a PM to the owner of the event explaining what you have modified/delete and why.

Approve/Moderate Brands

• Merge the brands if its a duplicate of an existing brand.
  
• Ensure the brand name and picture are correct.
  
• This is a real brand and not just "John Doe's house parties"...
  
• Note that some brands have same name but are run by different promoters! So beware of those!
  

If I think of anymore I'll update here...

StarrTerry: "Does one have to have their fingers on the button for their favourite nightclub or is it just about what DJs are appearing locally ????"

Neither, what John is refering to is the technical backend of approving events. Basically you and I and anyone who want to can add events to the site via the Add an event option on the top yellow menu bar.

But before they appear 'live' on the site, before they become visable to other users, they need some Admins to check that the coding being uploaded is correct. Some events just hold very basic details, but others are being added by promoters who use html coding and such to 'sell' their night.

What JohnB is asking for here is people who are able to check that the data is ok, so they can OK the event to go live on the site. Hope that makes sense.

They also have photo admins (which is what Sister-Midnight is refering to), who will check that photos are rotated correctly and that there's no naughtiness that shouldn't be etc on photos before they appear live on the site.

It used to all be done by the 3 creaters of the site but they do it in their free time too, so as it grew they have asked for some volunteers to help out.

I think these approval processes help maintain the quality of the site. A lot of websites are fully automated, but this warrants quality control. As it's all done voluntarely DSI is truely a site "for clubbers, by clubbers". :-)

Best clubbing site, ever!!!!

I don't mind helping JB, don't have an awfull lot of time at the mo, but add me if if you need more peeps :-D

John, if you haven't got enough volunteers so far, I'm happy to help out.

Call you later :)

Yep I will lend a hand!

Thanks DD, couldn't have written it better myself, totally correct answer!...

Cheers to all for applying. We dont need anymore for the time being.
