Hi All,
From the last several days, boddunan forums got a tremendous growth and many members are now active on forums. Few days ago we merged Forum Supporter Award with the Leader Board (Member of the Week) award and we feel there should be a special award for forums as well. So here is the big one.
Daily Forum Activator Award
Puzzled? If you are a regular visitor of forums, you can observe sometimes the forum is not very active. Now your turn to create some interesting or useful topic to attract other members and inject the enthusiasm.
The forum topic could be on anything that gives boost in participation.
* It could be a review of a very good/bad article that you read recently (Give a link back. Only boddunan articles please.)
* It could a game that makes difference
* It could be a hot and burning topic (Please include most appropriate keywords in the title that are important for search engines)
* It could be an encouragement post or idea or anything that increases participation.
And the award for the winner is 25 Cash Credits
Please do not create unnecessary topics and spam forums. In such case I will hold you from getting award for a week or more.
So guys lets rock on and win hot prizes every day.

[quote]Hi,all members.
This contest of DFAA is really going one way.
Still i haven't found out any one who can Contest Sandhya.
Here are the DFAA Results :
29th January : Sandhya Rani(46 Posts)
30th January : Sandhya Rani(74 Posts)
31st January : Sandhya Rani(81 Posts)
1st February : Mohammad Alam(70 Posts)
We are very proud of you Mohammad Alam,that you gave a good fight.
Sandhya HATS OFF to you. Good Work once again.[/quote]
Mohammad Alam is a winner!!! on what basis, Ronark?? This award is Forum Activator, someone who keep the forum active with replies that are relevant and add value to subjects, If you check my replies on many posts that Alam has posted, you can clearly make out that he is only spamming with nonsense replies. I have even made it clear in a thread or two that Ihave sent him a warning. Again, I am repeating here that the criteria for this award is NOT the number of posts, but quality! I suggest you go back and check entries for 1st February.

Kalyani I Noticed My fault On 1St Feburary But Now I Post only Good Quality of Post Not Believe Just Look Today post. I Read All Post carefully Then I Replied on That Thread.OffCourse Sandhya Rani Is Winner But Now Time. It Is not alway Possible That Only One Is a winner This site Is for all.
Thanks Sandhya for giving Your Support It really give me a Boost.
Alam,
It is not the number of posts that counts. But how much good information we can provide in the forum, is more important. While posting we should always keep in mind, whether other members would like to read it. It will help us to do good quality posts. Keep forum as a good learning tool. It will guide you a lot to write good articles in future. Always read every post before giving a reply. Also, appreciate its members if you like some good posts. Accept our faults also.
If you keep note of all these factors, you can win everyone's heart, for sure :)
[quote]Just leave it this time. He is only a new comer. Actually, he don't know the rules at all. I think, today he has worked hard and had posted some good posts and initiated some good ones. Just support him and forgive his mistakes for at least this time, please. [/quote]
I do appreciate your views, but any newcomer is first expected to familiarize him/herself with the workings of any site. here at bodduna, we are actually very lenient and accommodating compared to other sites. Also, there are so many other members who have worked really hard on any given day and it would be totally unfair to them. Supporting and encouraging someone is freely given here but not complacent attitude! I hope you understand that. Leaving it this time is not an option because we ae aiming for quality and professionalism here.

It's a very serious issue and Ronark should not have considered Alam for a day when another moderator who holds the position of editor too, warned him for his spamming activities. It has created a rediculous situation of one justifiably and boldly acting against spamming and another promoting it through rewards. Maverick please note and take timely action,otherwise it's surely going to create the wrong vibes! We no longer afford to lose good,sincere members for messy action on the part of any! Even think of making suitable changes!! No soft option left!!
Here once again I would like to state the fact as I have done before that the number of posts should not only be the deciding factor in judging DFA. Attention should also be given to those members who are participating in the forum regularly around the week. Maybe they posts less number of posts but if their quality of posts are good then they should be encouraged with DFA awards. If boddunan follows it, then it will bring in more participation from members who just shy away from participating thinking that it might not bring them an award until and unless they post in huge volumes.
Ajay,it's a pleasure see you back and the issue,if you remember, that led to your temporary absence in the forum,seems to be very much alive.And at that point of time I was forthright enough to give my honest views on it.That quality alone should be the criterion. I am very happy the way Sandhya has been performing these days and no question need be raised about her suitability but the purpose behind DFAA award has been less understood by Ronark. I remember how his predecessor Aastha used to award this even for a few posts to some new comers to retain them in the forum.She rightly never felt like revealing the number of posts which never she thought to be of any consequence and what do we see today because of the mindless application of the rule: higher the number of posts,more the rewards - birth of a number of spammers who are funnily helpless against each other's spamming!!
[quote]It is really a good suggestion. But it will be a difficult task for editors to find one best, reading all threads. If it can be implemented, it will really increase the quality of forum. [/quote]
Difficult, yes! But not impossible. Also we have all stressed time and again that for a DFAA quality is the first and foremost criteria and not number of posts!

Thank you Chinmoyjee for your appreciation. It will really prompt me to post more and more good quality posts. I always think, one should be benefited by our posts, learn something new and of course, be involved to maintain a friendly relationship with all its members. It is really a great learning tool if utilized in better way.
