Reorganization of boddunan team - Introduction
It is my pleasure to announce that Boddunan is inviting the senior members to join our team.
For the past few months boddunan is growing with more members getting added and the site getting popularity. And at the same time we need more people to manage our most active section forum. We are going to start new programs which may increase the user base exponentially in the future. We are preparing for it. So join us and be part of the team.
Please contact us if you are interested. You will be given a link to take moderator survey and need to provide detailed information about various aspects. Please note that selection is done based on the answers you provide and your seniority is not necessarily a prime factor for selection, though it has the significant value (seniority as amount of participation, not the age of your stay at boddunan).
Grab this opportunity to become a member of boddunan.
What happens to the existing moderators?
All the existing moderators will continue in their roles till the list of new moderators announced. Please write to us if you do not want to continue in this role and would like to revert your moderator responsibilities. You will get your moderator bonus as usual for this month.
All existing moderators, who are interested in continuing your role, are requested to send us an email requesting the same.
Please feel free to ask me any queries you have.
Update:
We will accept any requests that reach us on or before 31st Aug, 2012.
All those, who sent us the request, will get the survey invitation between 1st September and 3rd September and need to complete it by 7th September.
The results will be announced on 10th September after careful analysis of the responses.

I sincerely wish that at least a few of the more active and impartial moderators stay on even after the new team is put in place , because it will be difficult to imagine this site without them ...Absolutely correct. Existing moderators will be given more preference over new ones, if they want to continue and they answer our survey with suitable response.
Extremely happy to know Boddunan is growing. Yet, I would like to know what will be the new programs. Am curious, that's why asking so. Can you share at least something about new programs???:) why shouldn't you suggest before them showing online? We have been taking feedback from many people for the last few days and would be implementing the ones which would bring more people to boddunan platform.
Dear Friends,
Its not that Current Moderators are being fired.. its just that we are adding few more moderators under them..
We would appreciate good response for this session.
There are very few chances when any member can join the key support team for forums.
Send us your interest mail & fill up the survey.
BEST OF THE BEST gets selected.. Show that your are the one!!..

Many suggestions like DFAA, best thread, best responses, like/dislike option...
All members will be happy if at least some of them will be implemented :) :)
Moderators themselves can start new threads and select best performers of the day...... :whistle:

Yes would love to have a like/dislike option.
They can be definitely appreciated by existing members. But how the new members know such things exists so that they can join?Extremely happy to know Boddunan is growing.

Even adding emoticons 'thumps up/down' will solve the purpose if there is a technical problem adding like dislike for the time being.

yes, of course a big thumps up from my side :P :P :woohoo: :woohoo:
I am happy that Boddunan has made a move on this very important issue and wish it all success! Strict evaluation of performances of existing moderators should be done keeping in mind the importance of the role of moderators in taking this site forward. There are quite a few bright and prospective members whose candidatures deserve and merit consideration provided they formally convey their interests in the job. It has been my honest feeling that a few moderators overenthusiastically sought and were given the job without any bare understanding of the role. So let the best team of moderators take over and give a new direction to Boddunan. Wish all the prospective candidates the very best!

Earlier, I (I learned it from Sarala), used to send PMs to new users here telling about features of this site and about discussion forums, clear there doubts also. By this way, they commit less mistakes in forums and find a little interest also. Also, they will feel comfort when someone here guide them and show interest in their participation. I think not only moderators and senior members, any member here can do so. Am sure, it will work. Sarala told me, she has saved 1-2 files in her personal folder and use them whenever necessary.
But now, PMs are not popping up. So, a new user may not read our PMs as he is not aware of such features. :huh: :huh:
1-Points for comments on articles would do a lot of good in place of existing one point for clicking/reading them. Points will attract more members to read and use them for adding up to their telly.
2-Comments consisting of lesser characters than prescribed should not be counted under any category including 'quote'
3- emotes should not be counted for an answer or not allotted points even under 'quote' function.
4- A section for original photos getting points for each photo by members can be created under strict vigil of a moderator. Member uploading a photo from internet in that section attracting a financial penalty.

I would go with that.What we need is a committed team here that is impartial and is able to command the respect of the members because of their action and not by their position alone ....I am sure this in itself will take the site forward ...
Thank you maverick for taking this long-awaited move. It has been a long time since the team is in place and its time for a revamp now.
I have a few points that I think should be considered when selecting moderators and editors.
1. The understanding of English language must be perfect with enough fluency and also proper knowledge of colloquial English too.
2. Understanding of forums and all contests that are conducted with full knowledge of rules and regulations.
3. Most important and crucial, ability to remain impartial and fair to everyone.
4. Most important, if a moderator or editor fails to log in to the website for more than a specified number of days, without permission from Maverick, his or her duties must be immediately revoked. What I am seeing now is many old editors hardly ever log in to boddunan for many months and when I see the awards section, I see they being paid amounts of 5 rs or 10 rs etc. as editor bonus! This is not done. As existing and active editors work here to full potential, it is not fair and also may l;eave members confused as to whether they really exist or not!
