	While the previous iteration of this document made it clear that boosted club events need to be posted publicly, I'd like to add further explanation for this policy since the requirement has been questioned. Pumping Station: One events that only require space do not need any amount of advertisement, and posting publicly or on the forum is only encouraged to increase participation and avoid conflicts with other events. Once an activity gets special resources and support from the membership, it also receives the special responsibility to give back to the membership. Not all members have access to the calendar on the forum. Posting directly on the website is a more reliable way of granting all members (whose funds and service allow the club to exist) equal access to boosted activities in the space. While not all boosted activities need to allow participation from non-members, sharing boosted activities publicly also creates a more accurate picture of how active the community at Pumping Station: One is to people considering joining the organization.
