Talking about MIDs...do you know, Mr Vijay, that the main cause of these MIDs flooding the Forum is you and your half-baked, ambiguous rules? With a 20% warning level increased on any post which goes against your military-clad rules, you will make sure that the members are banned after just 5 posts notwithstanding of the extent of derogatory language they used. Don't you think warning levels must be dished out in accordance to the post itself i.e. how insulting/abusive/derogatory it was?

And I quite frankly believe you are quite biased in your judgement and implementation. It's as if you are after those members' virtual IDs who dare to question you, especially those you have so conveniently called "hatemongers" (oh btw, did you give yourself a WL for that? Because you very eagerly give a straight away 20% WL raise for a comment calling someone 'two-faced' which was more of a fact than an opinion...just as you believed that it's a fact that a group not licking any celeb's asses is 'hatemongering' and not just your own opinion)

Hopefully you will get over your selective replying, and give me a reply within this century.

But yes there can be "join" mailing list if the member agrees to subscriber to your post and wants a mail whenever you post any update to your FanFic.

Tell me if that option will work?



Getting a mail whenever our favourite writer updates is a very good suggestion

In the real world, this is equivalent to you ignoring people standing next to you right in the middle of a huge stadium with the whole world to witness how 'well' you treat your members.


I have never felt this insulted ever! Whats the WL for the person who insults others and mocks them? Who will give you a rise in WL? Will it be viewable to the whole IF or only certain members of the DT?


Your attitude has turned me bitter towards IF.

Your silence means two things:-

a. You know we are right and you have no way to defend your DT.

b. You know you are wrong and you have no courage to own up!


@Olive and Ninja: I guess this whole page is going to be ignored now! Unless someone comes praising the DTs!



Well this is the first time I am seeing your post probably so I don't know why you got the feeling that you have been insulted? I try to reply as many I can in the limited time I have. Well if you are bitter cause I have not replied to your post than I can just say sorry for the delays from my side cause as I get so many posts/PM that it gets practically impossible to reply each and every post personally even if I try to do so. Some of the questions that has been left out were repetitive and has already been answered in another threads and I didn't have anything new to add on it so may have been left out due to lack of time.

Please get in touch with the Channel Moderators of the forums in which you are active on and they will help you out with your queries / suggestions.

Regards,

^That was my fourth comment on the thread. Thank you so much for replying. I frequent only IPK and the FF forum and I personally am very happy with the DTs there and have never faced any issues with them.


But my issue is with your higher DT including you. In the 3 weeks when all the DTs had mysteriously gone on a leave (I checked all the forums where the notes were posted. Funny fact: Two notes by two different MODs were same), I had PMed SIX DTs, you included. 2 of your GMs had not logged in in ages! One of your GMs was busy increasing her posts by posting the number '8' and names on a thread (The new rule will implement here, won't it?). The other two DTs whom I PMed were you and priya.nair. Another was the forum DT.


I know the DTs are busy and have their own personal life to handle. But don't you think if you have taken up the responsibility then you should at least come online and do all the spamming that you want, AFTER you have addressed the issues of the members?


I have never been in fights with anyone on the forum or any MODs. I have no issues with any of these MODs actually but my only problem is their carelessness towards their responsibilities. If they cant continue to handle their duties, appoint someone who at least is active on the forum. If you wish to know the names of these DTs, its there in your inbox in my message.


In fact, I would like to appreciate Angel-Jot. and ~Saraa~ who looked in to our issue, even during their leave because the DTs we were asked to speak to were unresponsive!


Basically you need an active and responsive higher DT or else the grievances will only pile up!

thanx for these new rules vijay...but do u think these will really work????
i guess its high time u took notice of ur DT
we have lots of DT members who r on permanent leave and never ever reply to ur pms...
wat abt those trouble creating members who r frends with the DT??
we've seen ppl getting away with all sorts of name calling/ bullying and everything...and then again...the same ppl creating new ids and doing the same thing...
i will not say the whole DT of IF is biased...but its high time u recruited more ppl...to look into forum affairs...the best option being to appoint mods and who have never participated in any activity of that forum...so that their judment regarding issues is unbiased
u should make sure that all pm a re an s wered by the dt...within hrs of sending...rather than trying to solve issues after months and weeks...
and as far as senior DT is concerned...its abt time u did full overhauling...by introducing new members who r much more capable...
i've been a member since 2008...and i'm sorry to say...but the quality of this site has deteriorated over the yrs...
the moderation by the dt's on this site presents a very sorry picture where u can point out openly where the dt is faltering in trying to save their frends...
hopefully u'll try and make IF a much better place than before...just introducing new features and new rules won't help...u need to get to the root of it...
i was given a raise in warning level without following the general 3 step rule...a nd wen i enquired abt it...it was rubbished off bluntly...after weeks of pming of course!
so its better u appoint ppl who r unbiased and atleast the warning things r kept in check...
one huge example with be the decision of IF to appoint resham as the moderator of tere liye forum...she was never a part of any activity on the forum...ppl just knew her as "our new mod"..and not..omg...she's one of us...it'll be fun now!
the forum was a war zone with bashers on a rampant spamming spree...but she handled the forum brilliantly...not to mention the diff fan grps that were present on that forum...all messages were given prompt replies...all issues dealt with properly...all reported posts taken into notice and dealt with on time...
its just that if needs to know ifatall the appointed dt has time to tackle issues...if a forum is active 24* 7...they should have mods from both the time zones...so that simple issues do become wars by the time mods wake up!

gm's never get the time to adress issues...
they just take over the resposib ilty..without thinking whether they'll have time for their new responsibilties...
this goes with not just one but all gms...
but yes...priya.nair the admin is one person who reads pms...gives prompt replies...and makes sure the problems r sorted out asap...
hats off to her for being in a higher position than the gms...but still getting time to sort out issues

Well warning levels are certainly given in accordance to the post itself. Since you posted about your own WL I would simply like to know why you are posting selectively the reason for which you were given a WL increase. You also know it was not raised cause you just called someone "two-faced" but it was much more than that against another member (not me or any of the DT).

This is the problem with some of the members that they create a lot of hue and cry about how IF should protect its members from personal attacks and when we do that they will call us "biased".

Regarding the MID issue also I tend to disagree with you cause much of the MIDs are created just to bash someone without getting identified and it is not something very recent but this challenge has always been there and unfortunately we have limited options. There are even instances we have seen members creating MIDs to bash themselves up or make post against a certain group so that they can instigate other members and create unrest in the forum.

I would differ from some members here pointing a finger at Aahaana for not replying to PMs. She is one of those GMs who replies to PMs rather promptly. Lately, she might have been busy with her personal life but she does address the urgent issues.
