Is it allowed to open thread regarding help to particular individual
Reason: Afterthought
Best answer
This is like asking whether it is fair for ambulance to skip the queue and get past us in peak traffic. What will happen if the entire road gets filled with ambulances - can we ever be able to travel on the road ?
As an IndiPolice and IndiMember, I do not for sure want to see a flood of such requests on the forum. Our forum's primary objective is not this. Having said that, and among the ones who also created such a thread, I see it as a effort from others.
We see a lot of such help posts on Facebook, people circulate messages via Social apps like WhatsApp and Twitter etc. Many ignore and many respond with some action. For sure I cant comment on should these be allowed or not because I have done so myself, and the community at large have to reason their opinion on what they feel about.
In my case, I posted a message for help to a person who I knew personally, I had interaction with and grew 2 years with him sharing the same room. I wanted to help him through his bad times and I had seen how hard he worked for his living.
I agree with this suggestion though. If, at all, need of any such help is required, it should be routed via IndiAdmin/Renie so that proper scrutiny is done.
Since we have started it in the first place, allow it as long as it doesn't go overboard. Now, if all of a sudden a new rule is made, its just not going to look right. Sometimes people need help. This should be judged on a case-to-case basis.
Ofcourse if we had a better forum layout, a lot of all these problems could have been laid to rest.
If that's the case then it shouldn't have been allowed in the first place. Now, some people have posted similar threads, even personally vouched for it. But if someone else in the future has the need to do so, and he or she won't be allowed to do so? Selfish, no?
Three points which I would like to make -
1.Since these kind of posts have already been posted so I won't prefer to comment on them.
2.I feel there should be some guiding rules rather than binding rules for these kind of posts. Giving a general guidelines for these posts will help in keeping the forum clean.
3.The judgement that certain cause deserve attention and help should be left on the wisdom of the reader, if he feels the cause is right then he may donate and help accordingly and if he thinks it doesn't he would ignore it and the thread will be lost in oblivion.
Agree but verifing every thred is also not possible. The readers who are willing to donate should ask the required questions.
As I said having guidelines for these threads will be really useful. For example - they would have to give all the information which is asked in the thread and you can create create many such guiding rules.
