Florida, Georgia, and Alabama Submitters
This is just me and does not reflect RR or other admins but when submitting data please try the following suggestions.
1. Provided detailed information. Sending a URL, Call-Sign, or just a frequency with no additional information doesn't help. Now we have to spend additional time trying to figure out what your trying to submit. We don't live in your area and could get it wrong resulting in a delay in adding your information.
2. Don't overload the submission. If there were major changes in your area, then please break the submission down into several submissions. For examples, if your area changed sites, talk groups, frequencies, etc. Then make several submissions for each one. Please don't add everything in one huge submission. When I see a long submission I figure it will take me a few hours or days to add all that info and my chances of making a mistake increase. Keep them small and I can knock them out much quicker. A few minutes here and there go a lot faster then spending several hours on a large submission.
3. Try to lay out your submission the way it is in the database section then we can quickly import it into the system.
4. If you submit information to RR, please have private message or an email enabled so the Admin can contact you if we have questions. Your information is private we just want to be able to ask a question about your submission if we don't understand what your trying to submit it could be awhile.
5. Keep it clear, simple and to the point.
By following the simple steps I listed above your submission will be updated much quicker. For me, when I work a submission, I will look for the ones that are clear and ready to upload right away. If they look like there going to take awhile (extremely long, unclear, lack detailed information) then there going to be worked when I have the time. Remember we do this in our spare time.
Again, what I have listed above is just my way of looking at submissions for my area. I'm sure the other admins would agree to what I posted.
