Attendance Issue

By DZ on 05/06/2008
Right well it has come to our attention that not all of our staff members have been doing the attendance. There never really was a set system for it, but lately it has been all Gorge and Anat doing most of it. This has to change.

So, here is what I am putting in place, the system itself will not change just the method of updating it.

PART I (Weekly)

1) The weeks for the weekly attendance list will start every Monday and end on the Sunday, like they have always been.

2) The host of the first event for that week (I'm assuming it is an event coordinator or a raid leader) is responsible for the post on the Weekly Attendance Record Topic.

3) The host of the event is responsible for putting the attendance of their event on the Weekly Attendance Record.

For example, if Darkzero101 hosts an event on Monday, July 7 and it is a Tanking event, he (Darkzero101) is responsible for making the initial post on the Weekly Attendance Record that says "Monday the 7th of July - Sunday the 13th of July". He will then proceed to add everyone's name who went to his event on that list, giving them 1 attendance. He will not touch the Overall Attendance Record.

If there is no event on a Monday and the first event of that week is, for example on a Wednesday, the host of that Wednesday event will still make the post on the Weekly Attendance Record, and will still say that the week starts on Monday.

4) All other events hosted on that week will have the attendance added to the weekly list by the host of the event which is put on the post initially made by the first host of the week.


Anyone see anything wrong, or disagree with these ideas? Feedback.

PART II Overall

Now, updating the overall list will still fall into the hands of a single person. What I think we should do is either:

1) Have it so that when someone adds people to the weekly list they then proceed to add them to the overall list. When finished they will not do anything else but give people the attendance they deserve from their event. Every Sunday a select staff member (me or anyone else who wants to) will update the line saying "last week added" to the week which just passed, assuming everyone was already added as attendance should be done right after the event.

2) Have any staff member do it every Sunday night, taking all of the people from the weekly list and giving their attendance they deserve, and then change the "last updated week" line.

Once again, feedback would be nice.

I feel this post is nessesary because it is all of our responsibilities to do the attendance, not a select few. App managers you are exempt from this unless you really want to do it.

I agree with all that about the hoster of the event updates it.
Obviously if there is a hoster who is not a staff member I will update it.
I don't mind updating attendance, I just think it is extremely unfair when I and the others who do update it get shouted at when we don't, I for one am busy with exams at the moment, as are others....

I disagree about Part II, I think we should still continue to add to the Overall by Week, not by event or by every single member.
Part 2 is what I did already before my exams start, although it was not always on the Sunday night, but during the week.

Thanks Sean

I agree about part 1, as it is not 1 person's job to do it all.
But for part 2, i think we should continue to do it as week by week. It makes it much more simpler.

Also, honestly wasn't aware i had to do it. When i asked George once, he told me he would tell me what to do and how to do it. Until this post, i wasn't sure if i was meant to be updating it.

Thanks for this little wake up notice to me, i'll be glad to do it and make it easier overall.
Sorry, and thanks too.

I know that on the times I've updated the overall attendance, if there was attendance missing for an event from the last week, I didn't add that week in. It should be updated at the latest by Wednesday. A weekly basis is good enough, it gets confusing if you try to update it for every event as they happen.

I think the overall should be updated on Monday, to be nice to those who hadn't yet posted their event attendance and giving them a chance to be reminded. Hold off a day if they haven't gotten it in if it's a big event, such as a war. And pm whoever lead the event.
