HI . COULD YOU DO SOMETHING FOR ME PLEASE ?

by **Paul** on Mon 22 Jun 2015, 18:44

Hello . How are you this fine day ? I need you to do something for me please . This is very important .
When I started this CC I had some very specific things in mind . Reasonable goals . Goals that I am still striving for .
I knew I had to be very careful to not have any rules or try to make members do anything or give them ultimatums . WGT members are very sensitive .
After some trial and error I came up with 3 conditions required to join the CC . I didn't want to push my luck because I felt that there were many more things that were included with being in a WGT CC
These are the 3
A) Play in CC tourneys
B) Keep in touch with the owner ( me ) . Every once in a while
C) Register in our website / forum that I spent a gr8 deal of time building as an extra bonus to our members . There are other reasons to register . But that reason alone is enough to require one to register .
That is / was all that I required . Very easy stuff . Nope wasn't even easy to get them to do that .
Now for the other things I feel are necessary to be in and make a CC complete and thrive . Over time I thought if I just suggest these things everyone will eventually see how well they work and happily and voluntarily come on board with them .
One is that CC members friend each other and play rounds together .
Another is to keep current in the CC forum to know what is going on . There are announcements made , questions asked , dates posted ,etc.
Another is to contribute to the CC forum . By way of posting a response , asking a question , making a comment , a complaint , a joke etc.
Another is Challenging the Magic Star . This is an in CC only stroke play event .
Another is Challenging the King . This is an in CC match play event .
These two very fun events are supposed to be active in the forum and CC at all times . Should be changing hands throughout the CC all the time .
Another is that there are some occasions that I may have a question for every CC member that I need an answer from every CC member . This does not happen very often . But when it does I don't think it is too much to ask to expect a reply .
That is the problem . There are only a few very stand up members that do these things . They have jobs and families and lives as does everyone else in this CC . Yet they happily do those things voluntarily .
Most do not . All of my suggesting and hinting and waiting and being nice . Has not worked at all . Since that makes it all to obvious that those members aren't on board with where I want to go with the CC . Unfortunately I am going to remove them . But not before I spend a couple few weeks trying to contact them and confirming that that is what they want me to do . Because I don't want to do it . I don't understand what is so hard about spending 5 or 10 minutes contributing in the forum . A few minute friending fellow CC members . Playing rounds with other CC members . That is all that I am saying needs to happen in our CC .
I don't think you realize what all these handful of dedicated members have done to provide this cool tournament environment for them that has allowed you to be way better than if you were anywhere else . If your not going to give me the time of day or any respect . One would think you could show your appreciation to the others that have stepped for you and made you more awesome .
To me this is a no brainer . It just makes so much sense to me . But obviously not to many of you . So I will be contacting you personally to say good bye and wish you the best of luck . And that you and the CC will be losing all of your hard earned CC points .
Hopefully this will not have to happen . But it will and it will be the third time I removed 40 plus members , and 10 to 20 many times .
There is a post in the forum asking for a response . It has been 60 hours since I posted it and have received 19 reply's . Not too good .
if you want this to have a different outcome . Like a happy ending . Please don't ask me what you need to do . I think I described it well enough . I like evry one of you and respect you very much . But if you are not a good fit for this CC than so be it . Ultimately it is completely up to you .
Thank you very much for listening . I am not making any lists , not naming any names . Everyone will receive this . You already know if you are all good or not . If I see that you responded to the message , If I see you in the forum making a post if we are messaging each other . Playing a match now and then i guess we are all good .

Paul
May you always be with the SUN

Ugh . This is a follow up to the letter . I guess I needed to be more specific . The WGT CC forum
http://www.wgt.com/clubs/valley_of_the_sun_casual_club/forum/default.aspx this one

is what I am so concerned about . ONLY .

I hope we are clear now . You now know and because it is the WGT CC forum for our CC is why I need more participation there . It's part of the WGT deal .

The only time I mention the website is in condition " C " . The forumotion website is not connected or related to WGT whatsoever and has no bearing on the future of our WGT CC .
I stopped thinking you would use the website 6 months ago . Only require that one registers there . That is all .
