What is the Neighborhood Guide program?

The NGP (Neighborhood Guide Program) is a district program that allows residents with
limited time to help FC and their district. Volunteers are assigned a district's streets
to monitor and surf. They eMail sites that do not meet guidelines, and write the resident
a nice eMail to change things... then they check in a week to see if it happened, if not
then they eMail the URL to the head of the NG who will double check that the sites do
indeed need to be removed and then send the URL and why the removal to the FC
administration who will then remove them. Also while surfing the assigned streets, the NG
recommends sites that they think should be considered for the district's award and/or to
be put as a featured site in the district front page... these lists they send to the
minister who ramrods the award stuff. Finally they sign the guest books of those they
visit or if no guest book available they send an eMail instead. |

Who are the Guides? |
|
You are, gentle reader. We [that is, Fortune City, Wembley and I] need your assistance in
helping out. This is a volunteer program run by the citizens who make their home here. |
|
How does it work? |
|
The team of Neighborhood Guides, together with myself, will cruise through the streets of
Wembley looking at each and every residence which is occupied. Naturally this is an
ongoing task as new people move in and occasionally residents move out as time goes along.
Each NG is assigned a block of streets Each NG, according to his/her own personal
schedule, visits homes looking for ones that ought to get some recognition or perhaps even
be recommended for the District Award. Also, if the NG sees that the owner of the home is
having coding problems [such as broken links, missing graphics, etcetera] then he/she can
notify them of the situation -- and perhaps even offer some helpful advice as to how to
enhance their page or rectify the programming error[s].
I would expect this "Officer Friendly" type of attitude in each person who
works with me on the NG program. In the event that the guide happens upon a site
which is at odds with the FC guidelines, he/she would notify the web master via email [carbon
copy to me] of the rule which is in question and giving them ample time to correct the
matter or relocate to a more suitable server [i.e. if someone wants to have a hard-core
porno page, it needs to reside on a server which allows this type of site -- FC does not].
I will follow up on the original email and visit the site to verify that it, in fact,
does not comply with the guidelines. Now the clock begins to run. The web master of the
site in question has seven [7] days to correct the matter or to relocate. If in that time
he/she does not choose do so, I will email them personally -- again requesting that they
bring their home within FC guidelines and give them a day or two more. Should
compliance yet remain a problem after the extra time, I will recommend the site's removal
from the FC server to the appropriate FC administrator. |

friend for life. Satisfaction of a job well-done, knowing you've made a difference.

How do I join the Neighborhood
Guide program?
|
|
I hope to garner a bevy of volunteers. The more
people we have working on this program, the better the district can be covered. The only
requirements of the position are that:
- You are a Fortune City resident [i.e.: you have a web site on FC]. Your site needs to be
in Wembley district and be 'District Theme related' [or at least one of your sites -- if
you maintain more than one].
- You are willing to take a little time each day or two to cruise your assigned block
- You are serious about helping our
residents and willing to make a commitment to the community
If this sounds interesting and worthwhile to you, CLICK HERE
to apply. I will get back to you, usually within a day or two. |
