I think a lot of us are forgetting how hard it is to admin an entire forum. So many of you are going up against Priya ji. I know you all are frustrated. Trust me there was a point when I was too. And I know it sucks when all your hard work is not recognized. From sometimes you have to also understand it from an admin's point of view. There are only 2 admins, Vijay ji & Priya ji. There is only so much they can handle. By bashing the DT you're not going to go anywhere. I agree you have the right to state your opinion, absolutely NOTHING wrong with that. Hard work could be recognized. But then at the same time you're indirectly (or directly) bashing those who have gotten the promotion. Just think if you were the one to get promoted and people who bashing you and questioning your ability to moderate the forum, how would you feel?

Priya di made some very valid points in her post in this thread (yeah there were a couple I didn't agree with, but I won't go into that). Promotions aren't just based on your activity in that particular forum. It's based on so much more which is probably why I never got the promotion I was looking for & now I never will because that show is over. But I'm not complaining because the promoted person (my dear friend) DESERVED it more than I did.

We all work hard and trust me each and every coolbie is HIGHLY APPRECIATED for their dedicated work. But it's just impossible to promote everyone nah?! If I can understand this being a coolbie myself, I'm sure most of you can as well. <3

Somewhere it has been misunderstood that we're asking for promotions for everyone. We're not. We all know that not everyone can be promoted. Obviously then what's the reason for having this ladder of DTs? 😉

From the beginning all we've been asking for is an explanation as to why our high traffic forums aren't given the promotions they deserve, while other less traffic forums get the promotions they don't need. From the beginning we've been asking for an explanation as to how promotions actually happen and why is it that everyone keeps telling us that Channel V and LifeOk forums don't have enough traffic when they have more than enough traffic. And that's what we've been asking.

We're not questioning the promotions. If people were promoted, they deserved it. We're asking why, however, we keep being told that our forums don't need higher promotions. And that's all. We're not saying anything else.

Hey guys,
I'm not going to comment at all on how deserving anyone is or whether forums need DT or not because I have next to no clue about the channel V sections and Life OK sections that you are talking about. I also do agree that this was an issue that needed raised and should be talked about with upper DT in a calm, mature manner, which I am not sure actually ended up happening here.
However, I do want to point out that bringing in other DT and being disrespectful towards them is something that is very disappointing, especially since we ask members to refrain from doing so as well. Someone mentioned that in taking care of their sections, they were bashed with absolutely no fault of theirs and how it made them feel. So, how do you think the newly promoted viewbies/cool viewbies feel? How is it their fault that you weren't promoted? Taking your frustration out on them is in no way fair, especially since they too were deserving and in a similar position as you not even a month ago!
Furthermore, someone brought up the fact that veteran members are given sections so quickly and unfairly. Firstly, let me disagree with that because I myself went through a VM status and came back and didn't get a section for a couple of months... That being said, we have put in the time and effort to show we are experienced enough and enough of an asset to get to a point that a VM status is even considered for us. So, if we had to take time off for personal and professional reasons, I don't think it should be held against us and I am glad it isn't.
Lastly, in my opinion, DT members need to show their maturity and ability to handle situations and resolve them without bias, fighting, disrespecting others, etc. not only in their interactions on the forum they want to be considered for, but everywhere else on I-F too, which I'm not sure happened in this thread 🤔.

Gun I cannot comment for everyone else. But I will for me. Since the beginning of this thread, I have maintained that my main motive is to find out what the thinking behind the promotions is. I want to know why do I keep being told that there is not enough traffic on Channel V and LifeOk forums for higher promotions. And that's all. I want an answer to these questions. I want someone to look into these forums and tell me how isn't there enough traffic on these forums. And if I get a satisfactory reply I'll be happy.

^^^ I understand your point and that is exactly why I said I can't comment on that and that it truly was an issue that needed to be brought up to the attention of the higher DTs... however, you're not the only person who replied in the thread... hence, the rest of my opinion 😊

I agree with the rest of your opinion. And I also understand what the others are going through. To some extent they are talking out what they want to say, but just differently. For me, it's all about respecting people. And even though I'm hurt with the promotions and explanations I'm getting, I still love IF for everything I can do and discuss here.

Hard work of members should be highly appreciated and AWARDED in a TIMELY fashion < That is the Key! First thing, Problematic forums, one has to bring in moderators who are experienced to tackle difficult situations and so sometimes exceptions are made. There are definitely some hostile forums, but leaving those asides if we talk about the other majority. Members working so diligently day in and out for the betterment of the forum, why should their efforts be neglected? I think there should be another DT latter introduced where one can prove themselves if really needed. There can be training for the new entries in DT in the Viewbie section. There are so many ways to tackle difficult situations or decisions. If we wait 6 months to see if this coolbie is updating regularly by the time you give their status they have lost their interest and probably quit. Instead of waiting 6 months why cant rights be given immediately and if one is not updating then take those away. If there is not a lot of traffic that doesn't mean the hard work of that person should be ignored and everything dumped on the CMs to handle. For me personally when I was a CM, it was so embarrassing to tell members that your hard work cannot be awarded for whatever reason. I use to HATE that feeling and it hurt to see someone else hurt and their hard work all gone to waste. I really do hope that admins consider another DT latter where one can prove themselves.

Gagan di your suggestion is one that hasn't even been explored yet. In fact I can't believe many of us didn't think of it. You know it's a really good suggestion. Give a member their rights first and then if they don't do things properly, even after a few training sessions and warnings, then remove them. And another DT ladder is also a really good option. Thank you for bringing up such an innovative method.
