We’re making a couple of changes to our overall event management:

  • We have changed the way in which event-hosts receive additional points. After receiving constructive-criticism from both members and administration, it simply doesn’t seem right to receive a “static” 10% additional points; regardless if you were hosting for 3 members or 10. Going forward, hosts will receive 15 points for each member who has attended. To provide example cases, if you were a host for 5 members, you’ll receive an additional 75 points. If you were a host for 12 members, you’ll receive an additional 180 points. Hosts will receive their additional points after the event has ended in order to determine how many members have attended.
  • We have started auto-canceling events if a low number of members register. This is determined 30 minutes before the event start time. There have been a few instances where only 1 or 2 members register for an event, in which case we cancel it. We’ve received feedback from hosts, stating that if they knew ahead of time that there was going to be a low turnout, they wouldn’t have opened up a lobby. Because of this change, we urge that all members register for events if they believe they can make it. We’d like to convey that – it’s better to register and later cancel than to not reply to the bot at all. Hosts receive updates about events in regard to how many have registered, so having accurate data for them makes their task a lot easier.
