Use of the terms "DGN" or "DGN Night"....

[torn asunder]

How do i make or what exactly is a official "DGN Event/Gathering"?

Please contact a moderator in terms of your general idea for an event using the title "DGN Event." or other similar title.

If an event does not go off properly, or is poorly supported it reflects poorly on DGN. "DGN" (read DGN staff) is held responsible, at least in some sense, for what happens at a "DGN event" if only from a public relations standpoint, as such:

A "DGN Event" is one that is backed by DGN staff, (and is promoted by DGN). DGN has worked long and hard to get to where it is, and just deciding, out of the blue, to have a date/time/event and then calling it "A DGN Event" is not something we want.

A "DGN Event" should have at least one moderator (or troy) that promises to be there for the event no matter what happens once the idea is "finalized". Please get some sort of final approval on the date/time/location before posting the "finalized" event info. Feeler-out posts for date/time/location are fine, once approved.

NOTE: there is no "DGN NIGHT" other than the official one. DGN Night means, CC Saturday night currently.

Don't want to do that? No problem. Just don't call it a DGN event. Call it "Lets hang out here on this date" or "Whatever Event". That is partly what DGN is for, to give people a place to promote their own events.

Why do we have these rules? Simple, we do not want the name of DGN used in a way that is unsanctioned. While most events may be perfectly innocent in nature, it would not take much for someone to misuse the name so that A.) Their event is interferring with another DGN event, or B.) Used in a way that DGN might not want to get behind (for example if a "hate group" decided to make their events "Official DGN events").
