Guidelines for Task Creators

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

GUIDELINES for TASK CREATORS

1. Be part of the FUN

2. Submit your task within 5 days after notification

3. Non-book activities may be included as optional activities.

4. Proofread your task carefully within 3 days after posting and let us know if anything needs to be corrected.

5. Monitor the TASK HELP thread for your task.
Delegate the responsibility to respond to questions to someone if you will not be available every day for the first two weeks after the task is posted and in the final two weeks of the challenge or for more than 5 days later in the challenge.

One of the moderators will respond to questions that go unanswered for 2 days in the first two weeks after the task is posted OR for more than 5 days later in the challenge.

Moderator decisions cannot be overruled or modified by the Task Creator (or designee).

6. Do not create requirements or restrictions in the Task Help thread that are not included in the TASK DESCRIPTION.

7. Only the TASK DESCRIPTION will be used to determine requirements.
TASK HELP thread comments will be interpreted as preferences.

8. Task creators may allow the use of children’s books with at least 100 pages but with fewer than 300 pages. Task creators may also allow the use of comic strip collections, manga, etc., that are at least 100 pages long. These two exceptions are separate, so a task creator may allow one but not the other. This variation must be specified in the initial task description.

9. Task requirements:
20 point tasks – maximum of 1 book
25 and 30 point tasks – maximum of 2 books
50 point tasks – maximum of 3 books.
Task creators may instead choose to create a task that requires a specified number of pages, rather than a specified number of books. In that case, the task should require
20 point tasks - no more than 400 pages
25 and 30 point tasks - no more than 800 pages
50 point tasks - no more than 1200 pages.
