3. CURATORS

LUGNET curators are responsible for updating the sidebar and subpage content of a particular group within the overall newsgroup hierarchy. A current list of all LUGNET curators can be found at http://news.lugnet.com/admin/curators/curators.cgi.

The name and email address of curator for a given group should be placed at the top level of that group. The email address may be partially obscured and only human-readable to prevent email harvesting for use in spam.

It is expected that curators are active in monitoring the areas within the LEGO community that correlate to their group, and have the capability to update sidebars and other information in a timely manner. In the event a curator is no longer able to continue their duties in a timely manner, they should notify the curator administrators of issues, and request they be removed as curator, temporarily or permanently. Prolonged inactivity when there is adequate content available for updating the sidebar or subpages is grounds for removal upon the discretion of the administrative staff.
