Events
Events must be approved before they can be displayed on the ASPC event calendar. Events are added to the moderation queue in one of four ways:
- A user submits a link to a Facebook event
- A user submits a link to a Facebook organization page, and events are automatically gathered from it
- A user defines and submits his own, new event
- Events posted on CollegiateLink are automatically gathered
- The event is an obvious joke (e.g. "Smell my gym socks, SCC Courtyard 1am-5pm")
- The event is a duplicate event. This can happen for events that are listed on both CollegiateLink and Facebook. (As a tie-breaker, look at the descriptions. Approve whichever submission has more info.)
- The event is commercial (e.g. "College Night at the Hip Kitty"). So far, we haven't had any problems with commercial events... yet.
Step 1: An event is added to the queue in one of the above ways.
Step 2: Log into the ASPC website admin panel with the moderator account, or your account if you have administrator access. (ASPC Office: You should have a username and password for the moderator account. If you do not, ask your supervisor!)
Step 3: Navigate to the Events section under the Events heading.
Step 4: Check the boxes next to the events in the queue that you want to approve, and then select 'Approve selected events' from the dropdown in the bottom left. Events can also be marked as denied.
Step 5: If the page doesn't refresh, click to save your changes. Events can always be unapproved later. Approved events now appear on the ASPC homepage and on the events calendar.
Event information can also be edited if you click on the event name. For instance, if the given description of the event contains inappropriate content but the event is otherwise acceptable, you can edit the event description to remove the offending content before approving it. All events should have, at a minimum, a title, start time, location, and description.
