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.

A catagory is there, "Introduce yourself".
Only a few persons make use of it. Through a single thread itself, he can clear all doubts. New users can be restricted to ask their queries in that single thread itself, instead of creating separate threads for each query. New users coming to the site can also read that particular thread and clarify their simple doubts.
I came to know about this category much later. I have not posted anything about myself in this. This suggestion will be useful to new members.

Yes this category is there but when I joined I had not used this one. No body told to me about this one.

this is the thread that I started here first. :woohoo:
http://www.boddunan.com/forum/6-introduce-yourself/173355-fresher-to-this-group.html
I think this single thread can clear all doubts of a new member ...instead of starting separate threads for each queries.
As Sunil told, it's difficult to memorize each and everything in FAQs and it would be better if ideas given as simple points instead of long essays.
Detailed description can also be given. Yet, some simple points can attract new users more to the site.
Gulshanji many of the responses from few members which I felt were spamming I reported them to moderator but I could not know what happened to them. Is there any system/or system could be made which gives us the feedback for our reports which we do to moderators. :blink:Most of the time, a necessary action will be taken by the administrator, but there is no log for you to keep track of the reported items.
If members kept poking in, the problem is going to increase only. This would be most appropriate to let moderators do the job of moderation. I have seen many new members left the site because they were treated harshly by the ordinary members on their first faults. This is insulting if an ordinary member showing authority to some one not accustomed to rules yet. Let the moderators do their job else this would become free for all.Absolutely correct. Anyone can guide the new members but certain things needs moderators help, hence the moderator system is there. Otherwise everyone is moderator :)
A report will go to the administrator and the concerned moderator if any. As I said in my earlier post, there is 99% chance that a necessary action is taken.Gulshanji many of the responses from few members which I felt were spamming I reported them to moderator but I could not know what happened to them. Is there any system/or system could be made which gives us the feedback for our reports which we do to moderators. :blink:
The moderators may take some time to act. also, moderator's view may differ. What is spam to you, he may consider correct. You cam check the posts that you reported. If these have been deleted, obviously action has been taken. If you feel that no action is taken on the report, you can also send PM to Maverick. You may also send a PM to concerned moderator who should reply you.
Its not possible to remember the posts which were reported. Can't there be a "tab" for repoted posts? :woohoo:
i think moderators can know, for which particular post we have reported. I think so. A moderator can better answer this question.
yet, I would like to add one more thing...Most of the what you told holds true. However there are certain situations where moderator has to use his/her powers to control the forum culture. Moderators should take actions with due diligence and I believe most of our team is capable of that.
Moderators should also keep politeness in forum...never use harsh words to hurt some member's feelings. When a new user come to this site, for simple mistakes..instead of scolding, using harsh words and warning, treat him in a friendly manner. If he ignore such responses, a moderator can punish him second time. Otherwise, no new user will stay here. Many people may be seeing a public forum for the first time. So, his inexperience can cause mistakes, which should be corrected by moderators friendly. I was also so and was to leave the site within 1 week, yet I stayed here with patience. But this can't be expected from every new user here!!! Isn't it?
Primary motive of our site should be, to keep people here, than firing them. Isn't it?

yes, of course!!!
Also, non-partial judgements if any unnecessary talk arises in forum, we normal users expect them to do so also. :) :) :) :)

The faqs section is pretty much a couple of pages description but covers/links most of the things what you or a new joiner needs.

FAQ is nice, but detailed. So, only a few persons may be patient enough to go through all :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Where are you going Sunil? A pilgrimage to Gaya???
If you knew that Gaya is Gaya for ever. This is 'Param Moksham' :laugh: I have no Idea to go for a gaya yet. :evil:
Do you know that Gaya is not a pilgrimage but a place where Pitra viserjan takes place. This place is known as final see off to our dead relatives. Do you want me to go there? :( :laugh: :laugh:

That is the point, a primary help is all right but since the forums are going to be put under stricter vigil let the moderators look after the job with expertise. :)

I am not part of the management of the site but can tell you every thing in detail written in FAQ section. I browse through the rules every once in a while and keep a look on every thing going around on the site on every page that matters. :lol:

You can say that - in a way yes, that happens with forums generally. :)
I have tried many times, but failed always.......
Anyhow, I may be able to break its magnetic power some day.......today or tomorrow!!!
I know this is beginning of the festival lighting in your area today before Onam that is why you are making excuses. You shall be busy for next 10 days.
