New changes: How to join off-road drives?

[Rahimdad]

Based on our recent experiences, we have decided to change few things to honor "RESPECT" and equal opportunities for all off-roaders to join and enjoy off-road drives "SAFELY".

• All off-road drives will be limited to 15 members only.
  • Due to safety in mind, it is very essential that every drive should not exceed the maximum number of 15 cars in the convoy.
  • Drive posted with higher RSVP count will have multiple Marshals to lead their individual convoy not exceeding the 15 cars / convoy.
     
• All drives RSVP will close a day prior.
  • All drive RSVP will either close a day prior or once RSVP limit reached, so that Marshals have enough time to plan the route and convoy numbering.
     
• Latecomers will be returned back - NO EXCEPTIONS.
  • Every off-roader MUST attend every briefing with 100% undivided attention. If you are late for any reason, please return back and join the next week drive.
  • Reaching the meeting point on time and then refueling, shopping and doing other chores does not mean that you were on time, you will be left behind.
  • All Marshals are instructed to leave the meeting point - without any grace period. So plan your buffer time in advance.
  • You cannot join the drive at deflation point if you are late, simply return back.
  • Marshals are not allowed to take your calls when you are late and hold the convoy because of your delay.
     
• Members without RSVP will be returned back - NO EXCEPTIONS.
  • Every offroader need to RSVP the drive that he/she wish to join for safety reasons.
  • Admin will remove all multiple drives RSVP at "same time", please decide to join any one drive.
  • If you were unable to RSVP the drive, it means drive is full and please do not show up on the meeting point.
     
• Please withdraw your RSVP, if you aren't joining, so your spot can be taken by others.
  • Repeated no-show members after RSVP will have their account suspended for a month.

It would be great if the RSVP feature could also include a "waitlist", so that those wishing to join a drive can be automatically added if someone drops out -- according to their position on the waitlist. Marshals can also know exactly how many more people would potentially join the drive, if they were given the opportunity, so that additional convoys can be arranged if possible.

Although this sounds a bit authoritarian but I total agree with it.

I remember how frustrating it was to literally wait for hours just because someone did not have the decency to show up on time and people didn't start because they didn't want to offend or hurt anyone's feelings! 

Resulting in a tiny short drive for everyone because of one character.

I can guarantee once someone is sent back they will never be late again!
