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.

Its good decision I hope this will decrease spam posting and forum become healthy.
This is a good and right descion taken by the maverick and the management
but if we post a genuine thing still there will be no points?

Yes.. there will not be any points even if we post genuine threads. This will affect all members just because of few members.
The decision not to give any point for new topic may lead to paucity of topics. This will leave only old topics that cannot be replied indefinitely.
You are right gulshan ji then no one will show intrest to post new topics.
If there is no point then only required topics will come in to picture and member will post new topic because still they can get point by replying.
I dont think so deepak.We must see it was just started now.

Lets wait and see.

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!
Good decision. Some time i dont know what to post for certain threads
This is good step taken by the admin and Maverick. I think members will take it seriously.
This is definitely a good step taken by the management of the site and I am sure that this would certainly help in retaining the quality of the forum section in the future...!
This is a good decision taken by management and sure it will help to have quality of topics.

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 no danger happen, infact only legitimate and genuine topics will be posted and discussed. There will be short term decrease in participation happens but over the long term it will get healthy participation on forum. Hope you understand.

if maverick wants quality we will give him quality..the number of posts that has been posted has been the problem..so let us post the important topics that can be discussed only....and all the members please avoid giving short comments like...nice post,good post,thanks for sharing....post only if you have something valuable to contribute....this can go a long way in fighting Spam posts....
