terak69 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 It must just be you Why do you not have a TV party for "only the members you want to invite" - As someone has pointed out , the host has less than 20 posts If you are a member then you are a member Hand over the money, that the host paid for his business to be sponsored, then I'm sure TV will send you an invite. That's exactly why I wouldn't bother going. For every one person that I would enjoy meeting, their would be 10 as silly as you. 1st you haven't met me That you know of (!!!) & 2ndly feeling is same same xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no logic behind it - It's a party for all members EXCEPT those who joined less than 3 months ago - plain & SIMPLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangTaoBoy Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 so how will they enforce this rule. They're probably hoping people are normal and mature enough to respect it. Good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangTaoBoy Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 There is no logic behind it - It's a party for all members EXCEPT those who joined less than 3 months ago - plain & SIMPLE Some TV members join simply to make posts that will ultimately lead to them being banned. As someone pointed out, some saddos have even joined just so they can attend the party. Some people join and then one week later dissapear and never post again. Having a limit, stops those people from coming, and leaves just people who have been conversing on TV for a reasonable amount of time. If you remove that limit, you may as well put an add in the PG and invite anybody who happens to be in Phuket right now. Thus making it not a TV party. Simple logic. <deleted>, I've just realised why everyone's happy me and you aren't going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katabeachbum Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 For the members who joined less than 3 months ago and havent made 20 posts yet, start posting There will be probably be another event at a later point and then you will qualify for a ThaiVisa get together. For the readers of ThaiVisa but still not members, why not become a member and make some posts? In addition to the fun of posting, you will qualify for the next ThaiVisa get together RicnRoll is not a very large venue, so seating capacity is limited. This time invitation is for members with at least 3 months and 20 posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polecleaner Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 what the criteria for attending the get together, it seems to be so many posts and a member for more then 3 months, have i got that right. to me thats like putting 20 million in the thai bank, but your only a valued customer, even though we need your contributions to survive after you've walked in the bank 20 times or 3 months has past. it seems to undermine the common decency of the nubbie forum members, once i join something i'm 100% committed, postings or time frames really have no relevance to my intentions or commitment. How do these regulations and procedures work with the partners of the forum members, they might never have even seen the forum, never posted or don't even know how long there partners have been a member on the forum. i would have thought if a nubbie is willing to pay for a BBQ that in it's self shows attention and commitment towards the forum.

RicknRoll has thrown in some extras for this TV members get together like fingerfood and welcomedrink. RicknRoll has limited seating capacity, so we have drawn the line at 3 months/20 posts members. Some +5 year and 10.000 post members may consider this requierement to low In addition we are working on how to organize TV contributions. some would become members simply to enjoy this. members not qualifying this time, can enjoy RicknRolls all you can eat BBQ any other night at 350 baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terak69 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Should it be renamed - "Discriminative TV party - please come as WE want" NOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfriend Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) i can see the logic, but what happens if the attendance is so low, would you then say that 20 postings and the 3 month membership doesn't matter to put bums on seats. i really think it would alienate nubbies, remember someone with 1000's of postings is surely at home on phuket, but a nubbie, who wants to integrate in the phuket community via such events feel even more out of it and alienated, and these criteria to attend prove that point 100%, i can go anywhere on any night, but the whole idea is to be at Ricks on that night, how mant Xmas parties have you been to the next day, never!!!!

Valentine Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) You have to draw the line somewhere otherwise Rick may just as well hang out a bunch of balloons & call it a birthday party. At IBAP if you are a member the entry fee is only half the price as non members pay. At GOMS everyone pays the same price but you have to qualify for voting rights.

Hi - you indicate IBAP - all members are accepted GOMS - all members are accepted - - what is GOMS please TV - NOT all members are accepted I personally am not bothered about going, but it's the double standards that are being applied that hack me off.

Maybe if you had been to a previous TV meeting and seen how many people with only one, or, two posts showed up just to gobble up the free food, then disappear, you'd feel different. No double standards. 20 posts - 3 month membership + one guest. Edited February 25, 2011 by KarenBravo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
