No daily news items on forums!
Recently, there was a change in our discussions with so many new members get into forums and they do not know earlier culture we do have here at forums. A lot of daily news are floating like tsunami on our forums, and it looks like a daily news paper than a discussion forum.
Many members are unable to cache the floating discussions which are ended up unanswered or 1-2 answers. The sad part is people leaving the forums and concentrating on other parts of the site. That made us to rethink about our strategy of allowing news items.
From here onwards, please follow few guidelines:
1. No news items on forums unless they are most important and need discussion here.
2. No more link backs to other websites, if found posting such news links on forums continuously, your account will be blocked without any notice.
3. No more one liner statements like I agree, I like it, Yes, I too agree, Good post, great post, nice topic etc which are not at all useful to anyone. If you would like appreciate someone, use Thank You button below the post.
Hope you all understand and bring back the energy on forums.
and the post following that ..free advise for others but a different set of rule for self ..
