As we see the topics flood is increasing day by day and no signs of coming down. If the topics all are good, there is no worry for us but there are 50% topics which go no discussions and are posted just for points. To complicate this even senior members and people who are asked not to do it are also posting them.
After a long discussions with many people to stop such things, it is decided that the points for posting a new topic is reversed. You will not get any points for posting topic.
However the points for replies will continue as usual.
Hope you all understand this change.

IN fact I think that people who want to post serious and relevant topics do not care about points so this change may not deter them. In fact I think there will be an improvement in quality of topics, hopefully.
and if a topic really does encourage discussion so leaving aside the very first post, the user will definitely earn points for his or her subsequent replies!

Yes. I agree. Because of nullifying the points on posting topics, this will definitely affect forum section.
Maverick You can see yesterday the less participation has taken.This could be danger for site.
And you must announce one thing to members which type of articles must post so that they try to concentrate on that.Other wise danger may happen.
WE have to abide by management decisions and work out our strategy accordingly. There are already enough topics. Generally, members create a new topic even if another thread on the topic exists. The 'search' button should be used more often and write your post below an exiting thread instead of making a new one.

There will be short term decrease in participation happens but over the long term it will get healthy participation on forum. Hope you understand.
