Group and account maintenance

From Canada Bladers

After years of experience organizing and participating in events, as it can be understood, maintaining any large group actively healthy requires maintenance, which is time and resource-consuming. Likewise, it is also understood that life happens, and sometimes, the availability or possibility of having time to skate with the group is not there. Some reasons included are (but not limited to):

Personal life
No free time for the sport 
Moved on to other activities
Family and or loved ones' requirements
Professional life, schedule
Moved to another location (city, province and or country)
Injuries, not interested anymore, etc
I was just curious to see what it was all about and nothing else

For our group to thrive, it's crucial for all skaters to grasp that adjustments are often necessary. This helps our organizers and hosts know who’s actively skating and who’s really into it. Without this clarity, our dedicated planners could spend time, effort, and money on events and activities that don’t yield fruitful results. So, let's stay engaged and make every skate session count!

Membership Requirements

Keeping Your Spot: Skaters must sometimes hit the pavement with us to stay part of the group. Sometimes, we trim the roster to enhance group dynamics and resources. Inactive Memberships may be forgotten.

Costs of Community

Running a group isn’t always free. Platforms have costs and inactive accounts waste resources that could benefit active members. Ensuring that our funding directly supports active skaters and effective event planning is essential.

Benefits of Membership Review

By pruning inactive accounts, we aim to allocate our resources better and focus on:

Tailored Activities: Organizing events that resonate with active members’ interests rather than generic gatherings.
Welcoming New Skaters: Keeping the group appealing and manageable attracts fresh faces.
Reducing Spam: Minimizing unnecessary emails. With platform limits, every message counts, and active members shouldn’t miss out because inactive ones are taking up space.

Let’s make every skate count and keep our community rolling smoothly!

Returning to the group

Q: I left the group on my own. Can I be invited back
Q: Can a removed skater return to the group once he becomes active?

Yes, and we will be happy to have you back if you forget to rejoin, chances are that we might bug you back in.
