IndiPolice have arrived
Folks, the forum is now going to be a cleaner place! We now have a few new mods, or IndiPolice:
Addy - Cause he's the one who pushed me to get this done!
Mohan - He's been asking to be one!
Magali - For sending in the most number of abuse reports so far.
Manav - for being the quickest gun on twitter today!
Anwin and Myself from the IndiBlogger Team will continue to be mods as well.
The IndiPolice can hide any topic on the forum, and they can "tag" a topic for one the admins to respond to.
If anyone else wants to join this elite squad , let us know here and the IndiPolice can make a decision!
Reason: Added Manav
Cool Renie.. Addy is making a lot of noice here... great work Addy!
IndiPolice should have been implemented long ago. This works for all of us. :)
Hemal, would you like to join?
Who wouldnt want to be in this elite team
The IndiPolice have been busy. Nice work everyone, and thank you!
Dear Renie,
the anarchist political philosophy I subscribe to, I see this as no more than a reinforcement and an extension of the normal.
Why do we wish to shut out deviants, of any kind? Isn't vandalism and graffiti creative resistance, aren't they expressive of dissent art and ideology?
Anyway, now that there is one: can we have a useful code of conduct, for us and you guys?
Can you please stop militarising the net by calling it police? Think of something else, unhinged from the Right wing moralists and centrist police law maintenance...
And yeah, wouldn't you like to nominate someone from outside the clique to ensure accountability, and you know keeping your group clean...as an observer!
Can I self-nominate myself to the role...
Cheers
CC
I like IndiPolice.
And about your self nomination, we'll see about that
why the tongue, Addy? And are we to be as whimsical to deploy language and assign labels on liking? Flimsy grounds, this...
Sits in on dissent...
Oh! come one CC!!
I thought you took humor well! And besides when am I serious on the forum?
And when will people stop taking my comments too seriously! Just laugh it off buddy! And sorry to offend you!
PS: Some heavy tongue you gave me in reply to 'my tongue', it seems! I had to use a dictionary to understand what you exactly meant! (now thats an appropriate use of tongue)
Offence: none taken at all!
But I think widening the clique with observers sitting in from time to time, is still worth pursuing...
Oh boy! There you go again! Wheres my dictionary?
Anyway glad that you were not offended. Will get back to you as soon as I decode your Morse code!
some of what cc says makes sense to me..n also brings up a good point..
is every type of self promotion a shameless one?
n how is that decided?
I would suggest IndiMods (short for moderators..)! rather than Indipolice;)
Wow! Thats some daring thing to do................semi-spamming in the Official IndiPolice Thread itself!
Is their pension at the end of the tenure? I wont take bribe (promise to try not to:P)
Great move folks!
I dunno about pensions, but I got some perks.
PS: They came in bottles and cans!
I like bottles and Cans!! Meet you at the Mumbai meet?
Now thats how you open a can of worms he he
Its a nice thing to come up with. But yeah right, you also need to get a 'Policies' page to let starters know about - 'What-to-do' and 'What-not-to-do'.

IndiPolice Policy No 1: Don't take advice from people suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder!
Just kidding man! I thinks thats a great idea and we should implement that. We'll see what we can do. Thanks!
Well, may all the luck in the world accompany you in this endeavour. Will you guys police grammar as well here? Not that it should be on your Must-Do list. It's something that can be assigned to a Beat Marshall who loves to keep the streets 'free of stains'. :)
@ Mohan: Grammar ****s is a rude term btw! A little bit of good grammar and correct spelling never did any harm.. Honestly, it makes reading less stressful!!!!
Respect plz!!!!!!! Ask Addy how much I help him!
P.S.- we need more smileys!!!! I was trying to find a smirking or frowning one but had to make do with the "innocent" one!
@Aldeena Yeah she is like a live spellchecker for me! And she is aweHsome!
We do need more smilies, but unfortunately there was some technical problem. I had a thread on that too!
Hello Renie/Addy...
I am SO glad that you guys have started this team. I had actually gotten a bit tired of trying to explain why shameless self promotion was a shoddy practice (on the thread that I started!)... introducing this team validates everyone's efforts.
Would also like to send a request to join the team and get more involved...
Thanks,
Prashant.
Thanks Prashant!
Have to say the IndiPolice idea originated from your thread! Love to see you in the team.
Brilliant! Let me know when/how to start... We take this on email I assume? Don't want to flood the thread...
thats good for all of us.
u knw wat , cudnt stop laughing at Addy's quick wit ! way to go man.
and ya , gr8 idea..gues u guys hv been busy as the forum looks nice n clean nw....keep up te good work...tc all...n let us knw if mango ppl like me cn help....
Thanks a lot man! And...............I just try man, funny is the way of life!!
Mango people can sure help! The IndiPolice don't have much attractive salary to talk about, how about some bribes?
haha..taking bribes alrdy Addy ?? Dnt let IndiPolice become Indi(a) Police.... No offense to ne1...!
While everybody is applauding the appearance of IndiPolice (and I do too... congos) Has anybody stopped for a moment to think "Why do we need it is the first place?"
I would have assumed that, being mature bloggers, people would have had enough of fake advertising and let things run the normal way... Granted, that way, it will take more time for your blog to get popular but better than self promotion. Better still would be to go on individual blogs and post genuine comments... What say?
Even Indiblogger thought as you did sir!
Sadly, that did not happen! So came the IndiPolice.
@ Renie.....plz help me wid tis...my stats page says last update 1 month ago , n my IndiRank fell like hell to 56 !!! please help.....!!!
Hey man, could you check it now?
I wil like to join the square one day!! may be right one bit new to the forum, but looking forward for a encouragement from active members.
Then start your training right away! Cause beaing an indipolice is not a cake walk kid!
Good initiative! Now I hope we'll get rid of shameless promotion tricks on this forum now!
*sigh!*
Yeah! don;t you guys already see the results? Or are we not working right?
@renie...ya , its ok nw i think ! thanx !
We are not corrupt! We have had an oath to serve and be loyal to the IndiCitizen and IndiBlogger!
btw a few beers would do!
IndiCitizen ??? haha !
