Official and unofficial items

This page is under Hartwell Community Website

Tip: 'item' refers to things added to the site - events, news, groups, businesses and locations are all items.

Tip: 'active' refers to whether a group or business is actively managing items on the website which refer to them

There are two types of items on hartwellvillage.com, unofficial ones and official ones.

Unofficial items are items which have been added by a registered user which relate to a group or business not active on the site, and have been approved by one of the site moderators. Unofficial items have not, in anyway, been authorised by that group or business.

For example, Bob spots an advert in the shop window advertising an event on the following weekend at the church organised by the WI, who are not active on the website. Bob logs onto the site and adds the WI event. As the WI is not active on the site, one of the site moderation team, after reviewing the item, approves it to appear on the site. This event is unofficial.

Official items are items which has been approved by the group or business it relates to. These active groups (and businesses), as well as approving items relating to them, are also able to edit and delete their official items and perform offer moderation tasks.

For example, Bob sees a sign advertising an event organised by the Community Centre Committee, which is active on the website. Bob logs onto the site, and sees that the event is not already listed, so he adds it. A member of the Community Centre Committee reviews the event, makes any changes they wish, and then approves the event. This event is official.

For every item on the site, it will clearly state whether that item is official or unofficial.
