A Discussion Regarding Contests and Forum Posts

The forum section of this site still remains as one of the attractive features.When I look upon the days I made a hesitant entry into it the quality was not much to write home about.But over the years it has grown into a platform - kind of a confluence of bright minds fighting intensely,vigorously,pulling off no punches, yet leaving none wounded or bled. I think there should be an award for the best post on a weekly basis to draw more members into this brainstorming activity.Similarly those who float unique threads attracting greatest number of responses,ought to be rewarded in a week.

I will try my best to bring admin to participate/reply to all the suggestions. 

Well i think that the forum section is one of the most valuable section in boddunan.com its not only gives us some vital information but its award us with some cash at the end of every week. If there is any change which is to be made is that the best answer should be shown on boddunan home page

For the time being there is no best answer option in forums but I hope admin is reading your post

Activity clubbed with Quality quotient has to be taken into consideration. That is a Post in the forum that evinces keen interest in the members and runs for a long time will enhance the value of the forums.

I absolutely agree with you on this point. Points are important but merely agreeing or disagreeing does not solve the purpose of a forum.  Members should have proper reasoning to justify their posts.

The forum section of Boddunan.com is the best, but as said previously by Chinmoy the best thread of the week should be awarded to attract more people on this site. Also there should be some award for the best Question and best Answer in the QnA section so that people post quality questions and quality answers in that section.

Some discussions become dragging after a certain time, with repetition of same points and lead to endless routes different from the thread. It is mainly because almost all the points on the subject are discussed and there is nothing more to discuss. I suggest one or two moderators be assigned to closely monitor the discussions and take suitable action at the right time.  

Boddunan should move to a next segment in terms of payment by associating themselves with more Advertisers & steps taken in this line will improve the activity & enthusiasm of the participants. The Editors, Moderators and other Adminstrators who are the torchbearers of the Community should close in for a discussion among themselves to formulate a strategy.

The first thing that the site should do is that the site paying should more than the asking withdraw amount in a month. It should done like that, that the withdraw can be earned easily in a month 

What I understand you are trying to say is to lower the redemption amount. If you write articles regularly you can reach the threshold easily. I have earned like that every month in the past.

The Thread starter should be empowered to select a response from the members as the Best response. In case the thread starter is not available due to some reason, for more than 2 days, one of the moderators can take the charge of selecting the " Best response." This suggestion is exclusively for Forums only.

@ rambabu- That is a reasonable suggestion which I guess can be implemented if the admin permits.

While the suggestion is welcome but generally judge and prosecutor or judge and defender should not be the same person. Conflict of interest and bias can creep in. 

This is a suggestion.loose ends can be  tied. May be another suggestion from another member can tone up. Additionally, this practice is already there in the Answers forum.

I dont think anyone will do that at the cost of his own credibility and that is very much in practice in certain forums. You may find a few cases of give and take but that is normal and acceptable.

I am still getting myself oriented to boddunan ,so, am at a risk of making a faux pas. Nevertheless,  with my limited knowledge after browsing and looking for what Interests me the most I thought with a group of people who are Into reading and writing a ' Book review' section should have been here. It would generate a lot of interest amongst people who like reading.

@ lopamudra you certainly can write book reviews in article section within the guidelines of article section. I am on a mobile phone so unable to give you the link of guidelines but you can find it easily.

The practice of selecting the "Best answer ' by the question poster in the Answers forum till date remained without blemish. In that forum I have never seen any partiality taking place. Even the super moderators and moderators are the participants in the Answers forum . Never they complained are found  any problem there.

I don't see any reason why this process of including it in the Discussion Forums is seen with suspicion.

If it is good for Answers forum, it must be good for Discussion forums too.

I found only 3 categories for Reviews namely Restaurants,  mobile phones and tourist destinations. Yeah I understand that I can write book reviews as well but If there Is a specific section allotted to It, everyone will post reviews of the books they have read and It would be easier for everyone ,me included, to look for good books while buying them or finding them In the Libraries we go to.
