Transfer of ownership for jam contributions
|
I think I have not asked this "out loud" before. I have contributed a few events with which I do not have have any real involvement. Most of these are one-time events which either have a good web site associated with them which I point to, or the jam is obviously an add-on to the event (for example a BBQ cook-off that also invites bluegrass players). But if I set up information about a re-occurring event, and then someone who is more involved with that event wishes to take over maintenance, is there a clear way to transfer the ownership with the settings intact? So far I have handled this by contacting someone who organizes the jam and suggesting that they look over folkjam and submit it themselves, but also offer to do it for them if they wish. So far, one has submitted, I have contributed another with the organizers permission, and a third is looking it over. Submitted by vrteach on Wed, 2007/04/11 - 10:37am.

Ownership transfers of a post are no problem and are something we do as site admins.
We'll transfer a post under two circumstances. W
When the original poster contacts us asking to transfer to another user is one. We want to know that the receiving user wants this, which we'll know through a simple CC on the request to the address in their registration or by us asking them before we make the change.
The second is when a 'jam owner' contacts us about the jam they run that was posted by somebody else. At their request we'll move the jam into their hands. We confirm that they are who they say they are in a few ways - the easiest is if the post contains a contact name / email address for the jam and one or both match the person asking to take on the jam post. We do notify the original submitter in this case.
You are welcome to post as many jams as you wish so long as you are willing to verify the accuracy about twice a year. We'll send you a validation message to remind you, at which point you can ask if the details are still right if the post is still under your name.
