GETTING INVOLVE AND CONTRIBUTE

[David]

PetPitcher website and forum is maintained for the purpose of providing a free place for fellow CPers to network, learn and share information or carnivorous plants. If you are excited about this website/forum and would like to be involve or contribute, listed below are the venues and areas that you may volunteer to help out:

SHARE

01. Share your thoughts, experiences and knowledge on the forum with other members. Your contribution to the forum is important to help it grow and be a resource for other members and visitors. Without the generosity of members sharing their cultivation tips and knowledge, the forum will not of any benefit to anyone.

02. Write an article related to the cultivation of carnivorous plants so that it can be archived as a reference. Articles can be sent to me via email or through Personal Message. You do not need to have a degree or become a professional horticulturalist before you can write. Just talk about your experience and share.

VOLUNTEER

03. Volunteer yourself to help out during events and exhibitions. We depend on volunteers to help in these events. Your contribution would be very much appreciated and it would help promote the cultivation of carnivorous plants and the forum.

04. We are always looking for willing and capable members to help moderate the forum. Volunteer yourself to be a marshal and peacekeeper in the forum and help make the forum a beneficial and pleasant place for everyone. Your request will be considered and based on various criteria and discussion with the other leaders of the forum, you may be elected as a Moderator / Global Moderator in the forum.

05. We are also looking for members to fill up the position of Database Managers. Database Managers are responsible for vetting through the discussion, decide what to keep or discard and incorporate the information into the Plant Database. Database Managers can also amend or delete current information in the Database.

06. Help out by entering events and public holidays into the PetPitcher Calendar. If there is an outing that you wish to organise, enter it into the calendar so that we have a historical record and members can be reminded of the event.


CONTRIBUTE

07. As a member, you may help by your contributions to sponsor the software cost, hosting, upgrade and maintenance of the site. Any amount will be appreciated and the money will also be used to promote the forum, cultivation of carnivorous plants and to organized events for these purposes. Members may contribute by clicking on "User CP" (User Control Panel) followed by "Paid Subscriptions". Payment can be made via credit card through PayPal, a secure online transaction provider. Please notify the Administrator when you make a contribution.

08. If you are a supplier or nursery, you will be allowed to place a text advertisement on PetPitcher or have your own board (where you will be made Moderator) on the forum to promote your products/services through communication on the board. Suppliers or nurseries who advertise/sponsor on PetPitcher may also be invited to promote their products and company during events and exhibitions where PetPitcher is involved in.

All sponsors will be listed in Sponsorship List on PetPitcher under the Notice Board.

SUPPORT

09. Seed Bank - Support the Seed Bank by donating seeds. The idea behind this program is to promote the cultivation and conservation of carnivorous plants and aid in the spread of seeds, allowing members to obtain seeds below market value. It is not a profit making program. Therefore, the Seed Bank cannot exist without member's donation of seeds.

PROMOTE

12. We need your help to promote PetPitcher and introduce the forum/website to others. Below are some artworks that you can download and pass around or place in your emails, blogs, websites, facebook, friendster, multiply, hi5, etc. to help promote PetPitcher.
