Gatemasters
We also ask, if the opportunity arises, that you make an
honest effort to solicit individual advertising. If you work with e-publishers, see if they would like to run a banner ad in our carousel. If you create crafts and always obtain your supplies from the same source, find out if they'd like to place an ad. If you can get individual ads, design banners for those ads, etc., you share in the revenue brought in.
8. Assure that all web pages within your Area comply with the simegen.com
Pages: you must keep at least two copies of the pages you create for simegen.com (on two computers, or on your hard drive and on any kind of removable media such as floppy or zip disk, tape backup, or CDRW). If you prefer, you may send copies to your backup person.10. Create graphics for use all over simegen.com. This tenth point is not a requirement, as not all Gatemasters have the talent or skills to do so. If you would like to contribute graphics to the /images bin for the use of all webmasters on simegen.com, please read and submit our Image Agreement. Once again, there is no requirement that Gatemasters be able to create original graphics.
Policies: you must either post any policies, instructions, methods, etc. by which you conduct your Area of simegen.com to the /smof area of simegen.com or provide copies of such policies, instructions, methods, etc. to your backup person.
Personnel: every Gatemaster, Assistant Gatemaster, or other volunteer who has keys to post to public pages of simegen.com shall have a backup person who is also a Gatemaster, Assistant Gatemaster, or other volunteer with keys to public pages. Your backup person will have access to your pages in case of emergency, you will exchange telephone and fax (if any) numbers, and you will send to your backup person e-dresses of people you are in contact with for simegen.com projects in progress (examples are editors, authors, book reviewers, potential advertisers, artists for the greeting card project), and any other information that person requires to back you up if you cannot do your job. Your backup person is the one you call when you have a personal emergency. If you can e-mail or reach that person by chat (you just had a family emergency and must leave town for a week), use it--but if your computer just blew up and you won't be back on-line until it is repaired, reach your backup person by telephone. The responsibility of the backup person is to notify the staff of simegen.com of your emergency, notify anybody who is expecting a response from you, and under ordinary circumstances that is all. Only in certain special circumstances (an advertiser has paid to have an ad begin running on your pages right in the middle of your emergency time away) will your backup person actually use the access to your pages, and only with the Webmaster's permission. It is expected that backup persons will simply hold the line in emergencies, not take over a whole other job. However, when you have a planned time away (everyone deserves a vacation, while we all have other responsibilities that limit our ability to work on simegen.com at times), we will arrange for your backup person as well as other staff members as necessary to cover for you.
Where Sime and Gen meet, creativity happens.
