comment_ficAs Calendar Keeper, I've been noticing quite a few bumps in regards to those who signed up to be a guest host for a week and aren't following through.
I try my hardest to message hosts the Wednesday before they are scheduled to host to see if they're still available to host. I really need to get better at doing that, but also, YOU, the guest host, need to follow through with your end of the agreement as well.
If I message you (via LJ message unless told otherwise), it is important that you message me back. Tell me that you're all set, that you'll be scheduling entries to post so you won't have to worry about accidentally forgetting, or that you can no longer host/would like to be moved to the end of the calendar (which at this point is December 2013) so that I can contact a pinch hitter or make other arrangements for the week.
Speaking of pinch hitters, if there is anyone who is currently signed up to be a guest host who would also be available to pinch hit, please let me know. You can still keep you original hosting date.
Under the cut, you'll find theupcoming guest hosts. Please check this list and if you can still host, leave a comment letting me know. if you see someone on the list who is no longer active in their journal, please let me know. If you see someone who has changed their username, please let me know.

Date: 2013-05-22 10:03 am (UTC)I believe the previous mods messaged people over the weekend (like on that Saturday) before their scheduled week instead of during the week. I do not know if it makes a difference it helping people remember, but it might.
no subject
Date: 2013-05-22 01:01 pm (UTC)I've done it everywhere from Wednesday to Sunday afternoon and a lot of the times it didn't matter because we still had non-posting issues
no subject
Date: 2013-05-22 05:16 pm (UTC)What bothers me as much as no posts are late posts and inconsistent posting times. I'm in the States, but many comm members are in Europe and anyone in a timezone farther east don't get the same opportunity to participate.
Btw, Sept 9-13 is blank.
no subject
Date: 2013-05-23 06:33 pm (UTC)When I send out the reminder, I put when entries are to be posted. Before noon the day of or the night before for the next day. I also tell about entry scheduling, which I feel everyone should use if they are able to. Set it for midnight or 6 am every day and you don't have to worry about it (unless LJ craps itself like last *knocks on wood that doesn't happen*)
I know about that week being blank.
