At last Admin take a step to seperate old thread and make it as new one.

That's great Maverick for locking DFAA. In place of DFAA what are you going to announce on this one.

The old DFAA became more controversy even it is better but it became controversy among people. In my opinion the old one is better.

I personally believe and have already pointed out that there was and still is nothing wrong with the award itself which has proved so successful so long.And in stead of addressing the real issue,discontinuing it amounts to throwing the baby out with the bathwater!!! Similarly I am also opposed to trifuracation of the total amount to such ridiculous values!!

I agree with Chinmoy that the DFAA should be properly managed and not discontinued. The purpose of award should be to reward members for 'activation' of forum. This is more than just counting the posts.

I suggest following criteria:

(1) The member getting awards should have posted minimum ten qualifying posts in the day.

(2) The award should be for best post based on value or quality. The selected post should have response from maximum members. Thus among two or more quality posts, one that gets further response/ posts from more members should get the award.

To illustrate, member A, B, C post 12, 15 and 18 posts in a day. Others post less then ten. Then, these three namely a, B and C are shortlisted for the award. Further, the member posting the most interesting post should get the award. To continue with illustration, Member A's one post gets further new posts by 20 members subsequent to his post. B and C get response from 12 and 14 members only to one of their post. Hence, member A should get the award.

This is the nice suggestion Gulshan ji. But Admin expressed there is not given award to three winners.

I also say that award should be given to one person. I have only given a criterion for short listing. Only one of the shortlisted members will get an award on basis of one of his post that gets maximum response from other members.

Yes this is good idea let wait us for sometime to see some other suggestions from other members also.

Can we see now the dfaa award's winners name here?

Very good suggestion given by gulshan ji.
Let see What admin and others will say.
Also any news about DFAA winners list!?

Thanks Gulshanji! Your criteria are very logical!

In this respect I would like to deal with some broad issues which this decision is trying to overlook.Like all professianlly managed sites there should be one or a team of ones who or which examines a post and then clears it to be posted.Here we don't have any such arrangements which may prove very dangerous.Now anyone can get away with posting anything in the absence of any pre-post scrutiny.Just imagine if someone writes anything defamatory or opposed to public policy,what would be the legal implications for the site?
