Hmm so what are you saying every member who makes a post must be a DT member 😕 and what traffic are you talking about ? You can count on fingertips how many actually post here. Just posting articles does not constitute a healthy activity. A forum is meant to have conversation/debates with varied POVs between a group of people. Do we see that here ? Its more like a news room right now..
We , a group of volunteers offered our help to bring about a change and help the only DT member appointed by the admin(radha) with ZERO expectation. WE all have an understanding that we are just contributing our time and expertise with other forums , so we can show by example how to make a forum healthy and attractive for new members to join , be interactive & pull new traffic . I think one must not expect promotion without something to show for . Let us prove with actions , our originality , creativity , that X factor to make our self stand out from the rest before we aspire to becoming a Development Team member. Let us Develop the SS forum to gigantic proportion before we add new DT members to police & monitor us.

Ok I just thought of speaking up, since this involves us volunteers, since am one too!

But I want to address that point that we are not here for promotions! Its more because we want our home to grow and SS is like my home;.. I found some best friends from this forum only, like Ravi and supercool! And now many more ! So I want to do something to this forum, which gave me true friends !

But other than that I have no other notion!

Reiterating on what Priya had said, yes, the members VOLUNTEERED to help. No one was forced to do it.

And with all volunteers being experts in different elements, the SS working team was formed. We joined hands to integrate all our expertise to give full-packed activities.

Hi Rechus,
Regarding the TM posting articles, this is a problem we encounter always! Not just her, many others like Chalhov and Ravi also have contributed with many news (and sorry I may be missing out on names here), but like we said earlier, we cannot force members to post. They have to be willing to comment on a topic on their own. This can only be achieved if we bring in more members from the entire forum, which we surely are doing! At least twice a year we PM members from all over to join us and we do succeed! So this is a slow process! But please be adviced that this has nothing to do with promotions. I along with some of my fellow DT friends or others from the forum lend their help on their own without expecation for the sole benefit of the forum!
Lastly, just because no one is getting promoted does not mean we do not respect their sincerity and hardwork, Rechus. At the same time promotion isn't the solution. The team sees it differently.. its about building a family and our SS forum has been more than a home where many members have found their virtual come real friends!
But thank you so much guys for giving your inputs 🤗! It made us discuss the root causes and hopefully we can all contribute in the littlest way possible! Not only with the help of our volunteers but also that of our members, am sure we will make it even more active!
Hence, let us join hands and make it all the more active for the time being! I'm sure our forum will be granted what it deserves ⭐️!
On a site note, I did request CrazyFan to open a main thread every day for all the news articles she contributes so they will all be under one thread and members can simply go through each! This way all of them read other articles too! Additionaly, we'll also avoid repetitive threads and she also agreed on that yesterday 😃.

Hey friends,

I myself am part of the forum hence know the forum's dynamic fairly well!

There is no doubt our forum consists of a number of active members who contribute by posting the latest news, articles, trailers, reviews, and games. At times we even have some potential discussion questions posted. And all though it may not be transparent, we very well know that Radha encourages a number of them to take part in and even helps out in making certain topics!

However, there is clearly a misconception about how the promotions happen here. Posting activities and fun elements do not qualify one for promotions. Members should contribute in term of good healthy discussions. They should encourage fellow members to comment more and not simply thank the Topic Maker for posting an article. They need to help keep the discussion more lively and not end it with a mere T4s or an off-topic discussion! The more discussions the better the chances, but the members have to be willing to break the ice and come out to discuss! At the same time no one can force them! Moreover, while discussing, we need to make sure that there is no bias and if criticism is given it , must be given in a constructive manner and not bashing an actor. And if some does go in the lines of bashing, the others shouldn't give counter attack in the same tone, and instead should make them understand it's wrong to bash.

So making appreciation thread on the favorite actors , make a number of game posts, making some creation galleries and signatures, and posting articles are not the entire criteria to qualify for promotions in forums like Sensational South. It's not a show forum and with many different interests here, we may tend to reach heated arguments, debates about actors acting ability, gossips (which we don't encourage but it's hard to avoid when media also write about it and it tend to cross the limits) etc.

We also look into the members maturity. Sometimes, its easy to handle a forum when there is no opposition but once people start to divide into different fan groups etc.., that's when we can see whether a candidate is able to handle the situation thrown at to them. Many members are not able to handle crisis and fights. We need members who are mature to handle criticism and also are not biased. As you had mentioned about how member's only post in their articles about favorites! Well it's a good sign that we are getting a variety of fans in!

Lastly, the members, whom you are referring to, have recently been appreciated and are in close association with Radha and I. They know how the system works! We are working as a team to come up with ideas. It's a general understanding they have with Radha and I. So when they themselves are willing to help without expecting anything in return, it speaks highly of them right!

So Friends, since you are also concerned for the well-being of the forum, we request everyone to help the DT and the volunteer team by taking part in various activities that are coming😛.


Thank you!
