ZV05 Member info: UACS-Member activity

Valued Member,
I said it the very first days in the existence of Radiomuseum.org, and I 
am always glad to repeat it:

The aims and aspirations of RMorg will only be realized by exercising a 
certain solidarity and by demonstrating trust in the leadership. This 
should be accomplished foremost in a spirit of mutual friendship. The 
second sentence regarding admission reads: "We are after active members, 
who are enthusiastic and dedicated, so that the spirit of "Collectors help 
Collectors" will continue into the future.

With a gentle push we are now attempting to achieve greater equality 
amongst members so that some do not only take from RMorg, but also give 
something back in return. Enter UACS in SEARCH (at the top of every page), 
to find the full and detailed text on the subject in English.

In summary: In your member profile we list all your activities at RMorg 
and underneath we put  - visible only to you - a Q (quotient). The smaller 
that number, the better - not the other way around.

You are starting out with an opening credit of -100, even if you NEVER did 
anything for RMorg but pay the entry fee. If you made or will make a 
contribution, the assessment of points is not linear but a division. You 
need to reciprocate only in a small way to be set up for years.
 
Once the system reacts and sends a restrictions notice to you regarding a 
lack of contributions, you still remain a member. Restrictions only apply 
to two activities, namely large pictures and schematics. Even then you are 
given about 20 opportunities to change this situation instantly. And it doesn't 
have to be by uploading pictures and schematics. Any contribution made in 
good faith like uploading a collector price to a model will do.

The changes had to start somewhere - this is the first step. It will be 
our endeavour to, over a period of time, refine the system so that we 
eventually arrive at a solution that is acceptable to all parties as just 
and fair. One argument that has come up repeatedly is to create a method 
under which payment can be made in compensation for benefits derived from 
RMorg. This issue will only be addressed after I have hired again a full-
time programmer.

This cleared up, due to the heavy workload, I am no longer in a position 
to respond to all e-mails in person. Therefore, please do not direct any e-
mails on this subject to me. For this and other matters we have now a 
contact form. Towards this end we are still looking for members who will as 
Administrators reply to such e-mails on my behalf. If interested, please 
contact me. It is my sincere hope that you will be able to take many 
positive steps in your lifetime.

Sincerely, Ernst Erb (HB9RXQ) 

Changes 30. Jan. 2007: Forum without UACS, new contact form.
