| The Repeaterbook GMRS pages are designed to be self-maintained by the repeater owner or designee. They complete the add and edit forms by themselves and submit the live data directly to the database for immediate display. Repeaterbook understands that not all repeater owners want their repeaters listed. Repeaterbook discourages the entering of any repeater data without the permission of the owner. Though no documentation is required, a complaint from a repeater owner that the repeater was added without consent could cause the termination of membership rights by a Repeaterbook user. Repeaterbook is only interested in the voluntary addition of repeaters. Admins are encouraged to reach out to repeater owners either directly or through social media and other means to encourage publishing repeater data on Repeaterbook. However, admins should refrain from adding data to the site without the consent of the owner. | The Repeaterbook GMRS pages are designed to be self-maintained by the repeater owner or designee.

| Repeaterbook admins that are both amateur radio licensed and GMRS licensed may participate in curating the data. They may act as a concierge service and assist repeater owners and their designees with adding and editing a repeater.
