Ravi ji, please specify your rules to Young Jats. That can make it easy for young fellows " how to write without hurting anyone". Sorry to say but older ones are not helping either. Or another option is to leave Jl as Vivek Bhartiyee ji did.
re post 61
Let us try and get a grasp of what we are trying to do here.
This is open to input, so I will just start by putting down my views.
I would like to see this site, this group, be a platform for the Jat community. A platform where they can associate, discuss their culture.
I think it is not so much as rules that are needed , but structures.
Rules are pretty dead things , but structures evolve to meet changing conditions. That is something that can be taken for granted, and as a constant- change is constant . They changed from my grandfather’s time to mine, and they will change for my children. My grandchildren will face different conditions in their time.
As members of a group grow older they will and must be replaced by younger members. The same applies to leadership- as leadership grows older it is replaced by younger leaders.
What one like to see develop here, is that the platform evolves and it flexible enough to evolve with the times.
The purpose of the platform is communication.
Developing communication with others , generally is more successful if it is conducted in a pleasant manner.
Hurling insults, using abusive language , generally does not make a lot of friends. People tend to be put off.
Hence I use the term good manners.
If our members, young and old, use good manners in their communications with each other, then we will have a more successful platform and group.
What I would like to see is more participation by the silent majority- some 15,000 strong. Some how I think if the atmosphere is welcoming and positive, people will participate and if not they will not.
It is important to participate. For one it gets your communication skills developed. It enable you to improve your public interaction. It improves your leadership skills.
Right now, and this is for our younger members who do not post as yet- do so, the first few posts will get rid of the posting( stage) fright, that everyone feels when they post or speak in public for the first time.
Your views are important, but if you do not speak up no one will know, what you had to contribute, and we will be poorer for it.
Let us try and expand on good manners-
- Do not use language you would not use with your parents or your sisters.
- Do not use four- letter words.
- Sarcasm is hurtful. Try and avoid it.
- Do not be ‘cute’, it shows through and one cannot get away with it.
- Remember that whatever you write on the internet is permanent. There is always a record. It will be there long after you are dead and gone. If you write something nasty, remember it may come back to haunt you . Your boss may just be googling your name to see what comes up. If it is found you are using abusive language, or putting forth extremist views, your days will be numbered. Increasingly employers are seeing what people are putting on the net.
It would be a shame for you miss that promotion , due to some indiscretionary post you did when you were in college or just starting off your career.
Do not be afraid to make an honest mistake. No one is here to censure you or laugh at you.
I hope this helps. Input from other younger members will be most welcome.
There is lots to do.
It is your future, your moment , please hurry up and seize it.
