Events Listing
Hi Amanda,
I would like to make a comment on the new events listings calendar on the new site.
I notice that an event will only be posted in the forum section if it is a TR organised event.
I think this restricts notification of events that are very much tranny, but not organised by TR.For me personally, if there is a night being organised anywhere by the girls, or an invitation to an event, it is much easier to look at a forum listing and see what’s happening. Rather than stepping through day by day on the calendar. One might not know what day or night they wish to go out, but are possibly driven by what’s coming up.
In my case, I know this sounds like me wanting to promote the Taxi Club venue, for the girls, and I know that TR is not strictly a part of that…in a sense… But I would like to say, as the Club recovers and becomes a better place to visit, I would like to look down the track to some sort of commercial support for the likes of TR for the Trans community. As we are re-focussing the Club on our community, we will be looking to offer support for community groups and services such as TR.
Keep up the good work with the site, it seems to be the most popular for general communication around the traps
Regards,
Joanne. -

If what you mean is that you can’t publish in the forums without raising an event in our calendar (not strictly TR organised events?) then that was a deliberate change. The spam in the old forums was taking far to much time to keep in control.
If you mean that you have to be a TR member to put an event in the calendar/forums then that is a long standing policy that might underpin some of the success of the group. Some brief experiments with public/open posting in forums showed that it generates little of quality and lots of work for moderators. So whilst I would like the calendar to be used for all significant tranny friendly events in AUS/NZ I accept it will only be used for events that some TR member hears about.

If you were advertising some commercial product or service you would be out of line….but it is the Taxi Club! On the other hand if you were to flood the TR calendar and worse the forums with Taxi posts then I would have to restrict things a bit. After all TR is a national network and not a NSW one. I don’t want the WA girls to think the site is being taken over by Sydney!
