Pay It Forward Accountability Group - Growing in Numbers, so VERY IMPORTANT: please read this!

We're in our 3rd month of our Pay It Forward accountability group that receives 2,500 bonus points per month.

We are now at 187 members and growing!

But peeps, I DESPERATELY NEED YOUR HELP HERE.

I've sent several emails and have written blog posts about the requirements of the group, but we still have some people who are not meeting the requirements for posting to the group.

YOUR BLOG POST MUST HAVE "PAY IT FORWARD" IN BOTH THE TITLE AND TAGS OF THE POST.  Also, post only ONE blog post per week to the group.  Any more than that, and it becomes chaotic for us to track and tabulate the posts.

You can write as many blog posts as you like, but only check the box posting it to the group no more than once per week.

I feel really awful about having to delete posts from this group, but due to time restrictions, I do not have the capacity to email each person individually and remind them of the post requirements.

Also, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT STARTING IN DECEMBER, YOU WILL NEED TO POST LINKS TO YOUR 4 BLOG POSTS IN MY MONTHLY "TABULATION" BLOG POST FOR EVERYONE TO POST LINKS TO THEIR "PAY IT FORWARD" GROUP POSTS.  I will have the first one posted the first week of December, so watch for that.

Do not put your actual posts in the tabulation blog post each month, JUST THE LINKS TO THEM.  Any questions on that, give me a hollar.

It is just Russell Ray and I who are tracking and tabulating, and it is the only way we can keep up with tabulating each month for everyone's requirements for the 2,500 monthly bonus points since the group is growing so rapidly.

If you have not heard of the group before, you can click here to read about the group and it's requirements to the left of the group page:  Pay It Forward Accountability Group

Thank you to all the members who have been posting such wonderful acts of kindness, and contributing to the huge wave of positive energy we've created!

Much love, prosperity and good light to everyone,

The Ralphster

Ralph - Thanks for the update and for the rules reminder.  I'm amazed that you are Russell have taken this on alone ... but it sound like the monthly "link post" may make it easier to track.  Thanks for making the effort for all of us!

Ralph, I am glad to see this post. I’ve seen many posts in this group that do not meet the requirements … and I wondered … what, if anything, would be done. I did not realize that posts were/are being deleted. I think you and Russel are doing an amazing job. I support whatever needs to be done to make tracking easier and keep the purpose of the group aligned with the spirit of the group. I’ll be watching for your post December tabulation post. Thank you!

Ralph, it's incredible that you have this as a continuingchallenge and that ActiveRain is also maintaining their side. This could be the longest running point challenge for ActiveRain, and it's all good. Congratulations to you for the idea, inspiration, and the continuing success of this movement and group.
