I have also posted this elsewhere on the Forum.FYI - A few quotes from ASRA Position Description P022. "Position Title - Internet EditorResponsible to - ASRA Inc BoardPosition Summary - The Internet Editor is an appointee of and responsible to the ASRA Board for the content and presentation of the ASRA Inc website.The Website is a communication medium between the ASRA Inc Board, its members and the general public. Technical data and information contained on the website is intended to provide information based upon the limited experience of individuals under specific conditions and circumstances.It is a forum for news, technical articles, gyroplane club activity and discussion while promoting the knowledge of and safety of gyroplane flying.Major Responsibility AreasThe ASRA Internet Editor is responsible for the development and maintenance of the Internet Website within the financial and editorial constrains imposed by the ASRA Inc Board.Decisions Expected1. Reject articles that contain libellous or personally defamatory comments or innuendo."You may be interested to know that the cost to ASRA members for the privilege of having access to this Website was in excess of $3,500 this year. So adding to Barry's comments on the cost to each individual of having to download posts that aren't relevant, it also costs ASRA everytime you post something, and also everytime you download each post to read. It is called web traffic. The costs have increased significantly over the last 6 months. So please, when you are posting, try and make it educational and relevant. This post is not meant to upset anyone, but to inform you of some responsibilities.LlewellaYou shouldn't push your luck. Play it safe and move the ladder..

Continuation:The Gyro News Editorial Policy also applies to the Internet Editor/Webmaster and I will quote some of that to you from Administration Procedure AP020:"The reasons for having editorial policy and contribution guidelines are:. To protect the Editor/Webmaster and the ASRA Board from potential libel, breach of copyright actions and defamation situations.. To ensure it does not become cumbersome with disagreements, personal attacks and an overabundance of unrelated contributions.. Pornography and profanity very rarely contains any journalistic merit and will be refused inclusion.. The Editor/Webmaster should not cause to be published any article that could bring the name of ASRA into disrepute.. Any personal attack (whether by name or innuendo) will be removed from the contribution -firstly to protect the individual attacked, secondly to protect the Editor/Webmaster and the ASRA Board from threats of legal action. In truth, such attacks rarely contain any journalistic content.. Any form of personal discrimination in the context of an article will be removed. The Editor/Webmaster must promote free speech, but such denigrations against sections of humanity are considered to be counterproductive and not in the best interest of the Association.. Any libellous comments or any form of innuendo will not be accepted for publication."LlewellaYou shouldn't push your luck. Play it safe and move the ladder..
