I'd like to request some changes be considered for the 'Party Room' Guidelines.  This is in the interest of keeping guidelines simple, encouraging members to participate, try new music, improve their playing skills and become more comfortable recording a video of themselves.

If you have not received a Party Badge, to get the badge, you need to think up a theme not used in about 4 months, otherwise, it does not matter if a theme is repeated.

Not repeating in 4 months is not for those who already have a Party Badge. 

Maybe instead - just don't repeat an identical Party theme within 1 year.  Someone can start a "Reel" Party, but someone can also start a "Halloween Reel" Party, or Québécois Reel" - just for example.  Help encourage previous Parties to be looked over and continue during this time period.

As with all videos, do not use the same video in more than one party or more than once in the same party. Likewise, as with all videos, full face must show in the video for it to count towards any badges, also. 

Maybe just - do not use the same video in more than one party.  If someone works hard to improve a previously posted tune, an additional video of this improvement should be encouraged.  Also, learning and recording a tune someone else posts should be encouraged.  

I believe it's important to keep Party Guidelines extremely simple and straight forward for everyone visiting the "Party Room".
