Members do not repair the equipment

20. јул 2023. · 1 min čitanja

A helpful member with a multitool is not a work order. The machine comes out of service, and the repair is yours.

People will tighten, tape, and “just fix” a pin because they want to finish a set. That kindness removes the fault from view and sometimes makes it worse.

The rule is simple enough to say out loud: report it, do not repair it. Staff can take a machine out of service. A member’s repair is not a resolution.

If you find a homemade fix

Remove it if it is unsafe, or leave it only long enough to understand it, and then replace it with a real status. Write what you found: tape on a cable, a coin in a console, a pin from another bench. Those details explain the next failure.

Thank the person if they reported it. Do not thank a silent modification. The history should show the machine was altered by someone who does not work for you, because that changes what you trust.

A public page that asks for a report, not for advice on how to open the shroud, supports the same rule.
