Resolution for IndiForum Guidelines

@ mohan ji, the differentiation of self promotion thread , type , falling under , should be earmarked, categorized in a way. so that it is easy to understand  and avoid such thing .

yes, more clarity needed there... Any suggestions for folks here?

too many laws , kill the zeal, so every effort is necessary for a relaxed properly thought out system. 

Not really, without those things will go haywire. 

Dont we have those chat forums for that? Let us utilise Indistream for this purpose

Well, people love forum better for offline reference than live chats ;)

@mohan ji, at christian marriage ceremony ,priest says, if any one has an objection, do it now, or remain silent for life,

A poor man chose to be silent and stopped talking altogether,

another incidence, a prank, a pregnant lady stood up to the question, seeing this the groom's mother fainted.

spammers are also contributos of the blog, and we should respect their fervor , due to which atleast forum gets new entrants.

I would strongly suggest ,a simple awards to non spammers, and highlight it, 

Well, you are comparing an orange to an apple here :D Don't ask me which one is apple and which is orange

We are always open for feedback from users and fine tune things as the time demands. 

@Mohan ji

I too have that feeling that Self-promotion should be kept out of Active Forum Discussions, shoul be kept limited to Twitter, facebook etc. And, in fact IndiVine provides a very good platform for updating audience on updated Blogs...

@Pramod ji, your examples tooo good  Now, let this discussion to decided the Policy bindings on Forum...

Thank you. Any changes you want to see from the mentioned guidelines?

@ punit, right, positive discussions r good. 

i daily receive mails,form federal etc. winning billions of $,  that is spamming,

Absolutely... Bloggers community is to discuss things related to blogging which can be under various defined categories.

Is above points implemented or in pipeline???

well for me Thumbs-UP!

We want the consent of other bloggers too before implementing this :)

thts great mohan..  uve finally formulated all that was discussed into proper guidelines..

im with it :)

Thanks Shashi.. glad you took part in the discussion and appreciate the solution you provided as well!

In my opinion there can be three sections on FORUM.

1- Important Stuff- Exclusively for Indiblogger guidelines/announcements/notice/ammendments etc etc by the indiblogger team members.

2-Indibloggers Question- All questions/doubts/Problems related to blogging AND BLOGGING ALONE.

3- General/offbeat- Open forum not related to blogging alone under the supervision of indi police. 

There is also need to redefine -" Self Promotion". 

Hey one more... Whenever a General/Offbeat topic is posted, the IndiPolice should be notified about it, so that they can supervise it a bit. If it's okay, then no prob... But if it's not, then it would be deleted.

1 - already there in the form of sticky threads.

2 - This is what the forum is supposed to be for!

3 - Actually #2 is flooded with these... separate section would be a nice thought too!

thanks for your inputs Ayyangar.

Anymore inputs from fellow indies here?

I have a slightly different opinion on the only relevant to blogging part..

Indiblogger is also one kind of a social network..right..in fact I should say..among all social networks if there was soem kind of categorizaton based on intelluctual levels..may be indiblogger would feature among the top ones..cos being bloggers most of us would be reading extensively..and hence I assume ...the knowledge levels would be much higher..

now..the most important advantage of a network is the collective intelligence....now this is not just only related to blogging..I agree relaxed rules attract spam..now thats where the admins and police should play a bigger role..

If you have checked this discussion forum pagalguy.com. It was started only for MBA.. still there are topics in which people discuss about equities,hobbies,movies,careers etc. if you see the categories of discussions, they are clearly demarcated..to curtail spam.. inspite of all that also..somtimes spammers go on ..which are purged out by admins.. I think the same should be implemented in indiblogger..

I created a topic http://www.indiblogger.in/forum/topic.php?id=6649 to address all silly questions which were raised to create multiple topics for discussions...now why isnt there a topic like this among the sticky topics.. may be it could have avoided the muliple silly topics...

all I am saying is..re-defining the categories[posting rules specific to categories] and strict policing will help in having knowledgable and fruitful discussions

Renie, i think we are good with this resolution as mentioned initially. Please go ahead and make changes.

this is great! this should be a sticky topic.

Hey Mohan, the "General and Off Topic" threads have been hidden from the latest activity on the homepage. Could you list out what else needs to be done from my end? Or is that all?

FAQ/Forum guidelines should be updated  :)

+1 to Mohan! :)

Now i understand whats missing... :)

@Hemal What?

indiRank... might be @Hemal

I am furious right now cause of the activities that is going on in the forum! No matter how much we say and request nobody listens! arrrgggh!

matter of concern....

People, read this. And please no "Self-promotional threads" anymore!

Its great! 

 We Like forum better for offline reference than live chats ..

Yup... feel free to make the best use of it :)

Resolutions for a better Indiblogger #win

Absolutely... everyone wins :)
