How are views and fan points calculated for celebs?-pg 4/29 Modnote 40 - Page 12

Its not only that, the viewpoints of all the TV celebrities have come dowmn to 50% of the topmost one which is totally illogical and makes no sense.. the top 4 always had view points in the range 525 - 600 since last one year. how come suddenly the viewpoints of all others have come down so drastically except for the topmost one.

Thats why I think IF should restrict the views per member just like the comments as there is less chance manuipulation using a tool or a program by some people

Thank-you TM, for making this LONG OVERDUE post on this VERY CONFUSING topic!

• I would really like to find out all of the things already posted here, but more than that I would like to find out why is it so difficult to know all these things? Why are there so many I-F members who are confused? What is the purpose of being so secretive? Why is it that one group of fans know more than others? (I am sorely tempted to use the words 'insider information' here!!)
• I also want to find out how it is decided and who it is that decides to delete comment pages from a celebrity. Was the fan's permission sought before deleting their comments? Whose right is it to do this? Does management reserve this right? On what basis?
• In reference to MID's - why is there not a consistent, systematic removal of MID's. Why is one celebrity targetted over others? Sometimes, it is so obvious that there are MID's at play, yet, they continue to appear on a celebrity's comment page or fan page or on the pages of the actual show. Again, what is the basis of these decisions? Who is it that decides to target one celebrity over another? If it is a decision taken at the board level, what is the criteria for it? What is the criteria to target one celebrity but not another?
• Please bear in mind that these are valid questions from me, an I-F member. A member, who is very disillusioned with the conduct of the I-F management, including some Moderators, who practice blatant conflict of interest!
• Mangement needs to understand that this is not a fly by night operation anymore. You have an International membership. And if you want any credibility with your members, you need to practice an open, honest policy that has the integrity that an outfit of this caliber should require.
• Just the fact that there are members who are questioning the operation of the I-F should give you the clue that all is not well in your forum.
• Lastly, thank-you in advance if you do have the courtesy to respond to any of the queries. However, I will not hold my breath, judging from past performance!
