One major problem with forums is that people would type just about anything to get those five points no matter how strayed the forum topic gets. How about some suggestions now guys??

No. I don't agree with you. Such irrelevant postings are being checked and Moderators are reminding the concerned members with a "caution" from to time. In case, the problem persists, Moderators are locking the thread. You can see such case in today"s forum posts.

Yes that was a thing of the past, now the members post only relevant responses since the moderators are following a strict guideline...

I don't agree as sometime the post looks to be irrelevant but is indirectly related to the post. In that case one has to accept that post. Yes presently I also have noticed that people do write some serious content but strictly in my case I feel bored just to see these. :blink:

I think you have made it very clear so where is the question of not agreeing....Serius topics need serious responses but even those have a lot of humor in them introduced by the members...only it does not move away from the topic! An ideal discussion is one where members discuss not only the topic but the related topics as well...

Dis agreement is that forums should not be that much serious. :)

From what I see , we are all enjoying ourselves discussing here every kind of topic , no doubt compared to the time when you were active here , things have become far more regularised, probably you dont like that...

BTW I am still active. :blink:

I think you want to say something else. Even things were also regularised in the past. :blink:

You are not regularly active now like before...I have said all I have to say :) Things were only partially regularised befoire where some favored members literally got away with spamming left right and center and you know it so why pretend otherwise ?

I understood what you wanted to say I think you pointed me. :laugh:

Anyways those favored members never got any sort of warnings so how some one can say that they used to spam. :blink:

You know why....I am not pointing at you by the way...I am speaking generally and you know how things were then , in fact you had complained about it to me about spamming ...

I think you two have me in mind, so the boss assigned the job to cat to protect the milk. Now cat has to look at the milk with greedy eyes but she can't drink it. :laugh:

It is a lot cleaner and tidier now than what it was before the appointment of the present team of super moderators and editors and scope for improvement would be always there!!

You are an experienced member from the number of forum posts, I know, as you are telling a whole lot of improvements, perhaps you have been skipping this forum for sometime, it feels great to see the sea changes.

We could and should not be that strict to stifle the informal air of discussion where some views may not be strictly relevant , yet these help in carrying it on and forward!!

I totally agree with that and we do have discussions that go that way....But the point is where to draw the line ? I know it is not an easy job for moderators...

Moderators are also members first. All active members know what is relevant and normally they follow the guidelines. The moderator will interfere only if there is too much deviation from rules. Being too strict does not contribute to smooth functioning of the forum.

Chinmoy is one of the oldest members here and has been with the forum active and contributing all through its different stages of growth and changes and that's what he means by saying that it has changed for the better...
