Gunn, Tim (Project Runway);

This is a update of for the General category.

It has come to our attention an issue with the vs.hive script, used by some owners to run their fanlistings.

We have noticed that there are installations of this script that change the last update date to the current date if the fanlisting has gone over two months without being updated, making the fanlisting being permanently “updated”, when it’s, in fact, the opposite.

While we are not sure that every fanlisting using this script is benefiting from this, we have proof enough to know that a standard installation presents this issue, so for now we are asking owners who are using vs.hive to add a manual update date to their fanlistings, remembering to post it above the script one, as per current rules.

This is a update of for the General category.

This is just a reminder that starting today, March 19th, the new rule about temporary layouts is active. While temporary layouts have been allowed for a while, from now on owners will get a three-month period to finish them.

Information regarding this has been added to the rules and faq page. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Senior Staff (seniorstaff@thefanlistings.org) or visit the board.

This is a update of for the General category.

We are currently working to implement a new rule regarding temporary layouts in the near future. In the meantime, we want to give some time to the owners of those fanlistings that still sport temporary layouts, so they can finish them up before the new rule becomes active.

You have until March 18th to submit an update form, using the comments box to let the staffer know that your layout is now finished.

March 18th is the last day to do this. After that date, any fanlistings with temporary layouts will be troubled. New fanlistings with temporary layouts will be allowed, but these fanlistings will be monitored as follows:

– After you submit your finished form for a fanlisting with a temporary layout, you will have 3 months to finish your layout and contact us about it, so we can unmark your fanlisting as having a temporary layout.

– If 3 months go by and your layout is still the temporary one, your fanlisting will be placed on Overdue status after which, as per the regular Overdue rules, you’ll have one week to finish it up and contact us.

These rules are not active yet and can be subject to final modifications, but the main idea is giving the owners a 3-month period to finish their layouts if necessary. Please notice, that this refers to layouts only, not an extension to finish your fanlisting. You need to submit a finished form with a fully functional fanlisting (minus the layout) for this rule to be applicable to you.

This is a update of for the General category.

We have decided to implement a new factor to be taken into consideration when approving fanlistings: making your own layouts. This will work as a complement to the “Your HTML example must be your own work”.

Staffers will also be taking a look to your other fanlistings (if applicable) to avoid situations in which your only own work is the example you submit, while donated layouts are being used for the rest of your sites. The same way how you take care of your fanlistings is taken into account, how much effort you put into building them will now also be an additional factor in the decision.
