It is extremely unlikely that a R/T Board category/plan will be made for fixed week owners, at least at this time. Fixed week owners have the ability to receive points and rent them if they can not use their week. DVC Mods are quite busy as it is. Remember we are all volunteers, doing this in our spare time. Let me share with you the general steps involved in approving each Rent/Trade thread that is submitted into the approval queue.
1) If a poster has not purchased a plan, we have to manually count their posts on the boards for the last 6 months, seeing if there are at least 8 threads in at least 4 of those months, with an overall total of 50. If not, the thread is declined and a notification sent. If the thread passes, then on to the next step. 2) It is then reviewed to make sure the title and content comply with the board rules. If not, it is declined and a notification sent detailing why it was declined. 3) We then have to add the approved thread to a master alphabetized list for the year, that includes the user name, date, link to thread, post type (ie, Points for Rent #1) whether or not they have a paid plan, what kind of plan, and the expirations date of the plan...again all a manual process. The entry looks something like this:
MickeyMouse 04/18/21 Thread Link inserted here PR#1 No PLAN 03/21/2022
Note that if it is the poster's 2nd, 3rd, and so forth R/T thread, the entry is then copied one more time into a page listing 2nd, 3rd and so forth entries.
4)Copy this entry into a list of threads for the month in which it is posted. 5) Thread is approved and made visible to everyone. 6) A notification PM is sent to the poster and the DVC Mod team informing them the thread has been approved, and reminding the poster to follow all board rules or the thread will be removed and still counted against the total number of threads their plan allows for the year.
This is all done manually. As you can see, it can be time consuming.
Lather, rinse and repeat for each submission. Allowing for fixed weeks and verifying the poster is indeed a fixed weeks owner would add several additional steps to verify the owner has a fixed week. It would mean getting the posters real name, which mods currently have no access to, going to a county comptroller website, entering the info, finding the contract, reading the sales agreement,
And what if the county doesn't allow access to the documents? As far as I can tell, not all counties let you read the actual document, as they do in Florida.
Add to that, we DVC R/T Mods also have mod duties on the general DVC Boards, but we do also have a wonderful mod specifically for the general DVC Boards,
@Sandisw, that does not have R/T mod duties.
