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.

Now also let me forward a suggestion to admin....
Now moderators are not given designations of Emperor, Caeser etc......
If moderators are given their designations also, it would look nice. Gulshanji is approving it.
Kalyani, Sarala......what do you say?

@Gulshanji,
I wish to see you as a Caeser very soon!!!!
Technically this is not possible, hope it is not needed for moderators too, they already have the most significant designation present below their avatar :) .
I need to clear a doubt from administrator. Hoping he will clear it.

If a new user commit some simple mistakes in forum like double posts or posting just Thank you messages without any other data, can we, normal users guide him...or should we wait for any moderator to respond to his post and ask him not to do so.
I want this clarification from admin, as I am almost 13-14 hours online here everyday, working in forum.
I doesn't matter who guides the new members, after all it helps all of us. Moderators are there to help you in situations where you need them the most.


Thank you sir for clearing my doubts.
Hoping you know what has occurred here most recently.
Some incidents do hurt people like me a lot, as am not a moderator here. But your answer healed everything. :) :)
Thanking you once again. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I am not an admin but still I have my opinion for it.

@ Why don't you appy for a moderator job when you say you devote more time on Boddunan?. :blink:

@ Normal member can correct a new member but with some polite way people don't like to see someone points out their mistake. :blink:


Courtesy is always good. Just member or moderator, one should be polite while pointing out mistakes. any one may make mistakes. Nobody is perfect.
also it is every one's job to keep the site clean of undesirable content and spam. so any one may report such matter by using 'report to moderator' button.
sometimes, it is better to point out mistake by sending PM instead of writing in forum.
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:

yes,
I also like your suggestions of sending PM. :) :)
i have done it many times before, if some new user post ad links or started such threads, because I also think it's the right way. :) :)
But for double posts or thank you messages only, I have posted in forum.

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.

It's really a nice idea Sanjeev......to get feedback from moderators. :)
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.

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.

Nobody likes bad words or treatment. Politeness is must for everyone including moderators. In case of mistakes or breach of rules, new members should be advised politely so that they do not feel bad. The senior members also hold an important place. They can give good advice and help.

yes Sir I agree with you.

When I joined here, those people who guided me most were normal persons.....most of them, who haven't even completed 1000 posts here. Since their replies were polite, I haven't felt bad with them. I just felt like friendly talk. :) :)
I think am doing it same way......keeping politeness. Also, most of the new members here, I send them PM and make them friends within a day or two. So, never a question of bad feeling arises.
Actually, I never want to see them scolded for simple mistakes, guide them with PMs too, clarifying their simple doubts, thus preventing them to start simple queries in forum which can result in a large number of useless replies. I always ask them to PM me any doubt if you have. It will keep our forum neat. It's another reason. :woohoo:

Now am not sending PM to new users as popping up of PMs is not available now.

Never mind, that was not for you in particular but in general. I can see an ugly scene taking place every once in a while and members leaving the site due to such behavior. You need not take every thing for your personal point of view. There are almost 1000 other members who can indulge in such unwanted activities. I hope you know what I mean. As for me I have nothing much to object as I may not last long here.
Where are you going Sunil? A pilgrimage to Gaya???

yet, I would like to add one more thing...
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?

Is it a good idea to give one month grace period to every new member to learn the rules and environment of the site? Thereafter, he can be treated like old members.
It's a nice idea Sir. By this way, a new user will feel comfort working here...know every person here.......
He will stay here too.....!!!

On most forums there are a certain number of posts before they are allowed to vote/rate or do certain things, their ratings are awarded as per quality of their posts and behavior. Later they are promoted to different categories as per fellow members find their posts's value.
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 suggest that this site has a detailed FAQ section consisting of every single rule regarding every single function or activity on this site. This section should have 'dos' and don'ts' in a clear manner. Every member should give their consent before joining site and going wayward should attract financial penalty according to breach of rule. That will settle every problem. The home page can display the points deducted for a particular member for infringement as they show the points accumulated for participation.
