Whatever I could make out from these posts is that administrator is final approving authority and editor's clearance is just one of these two-step process! Am I correct? It's a sound system.

Yes you are right ceem so members should be ready to face disapproval at any stage either at editor or moderator review.

Hello friends,
Well, Its a very hot topic now for members.

okay, let me ask a question to all of you.
Have Boddunan ever compromised with the quality of the article?
Have Boddunan ever allowed any member to post copied content?

let me tell you, We have banned one of the member Rekha Garg rekhagarg for postin copied content in huge numbers.

If members want then we may review the Editors n Admins(Cash creditor) guidelines.
Would like to hear from all. Any views suggestions and comments.

regards

We must maintain quality of articles and ensure utmost honesty and integrity. It is commendable that copying is disallowed. If copied content is discovered at any stage, even after approval, strict action is necessary. I agree with the ban on Rekha Garg as intimated by Atul P. Barapatre.

boddunan should either select the article finally or reject it. it is not good that committee is accepting or rejecting the articles .It hurt the people who are its active members.

It's really sad, I know how it feels, it should have been rejected first only not after many days of approval

Can we have 4-eye concept in editing the article...that is the checking at two different levels.That will make the conclusion more error free.

I know that the number of articles is too high as compared to the number of devoted editors.It is just a suggestion if we could have this kind of setup

Hi Atul,

I am sorry to say that I HAVE come across some low quality articles on Boddunan. I have even posted a thread regarding article review and credit allocation.
I think either you have to review your guidelines or ensure that your Editors take their review more seriously!!

I think a lot of confusion can be cleared up if members are not informed at the intermediate stage of editorial clerance!

This is something that does not happen very often, only in exceptional cases. I must point out that some writers really try to outsmart editors. There has been an instance where a person submitted same article at the same time and day on boddunan and an another website. So there was no question of being able to catch that person doing this and the article was approved. Only a few days later I was reviewing this person's article and found this out as the article was now visible on google search as appearing on two websites and we had to reject the already approved article.

So is this an editor's fault??? or the person's who is following dishonest means?? When it has been clearly stated that it is against the copyrights policy to publish same content on different websites or even copy content from other sources, people are still doing it. Another point worth thinking on the authors' part!
