Should not add appreciations to the quality Threads!

Its just a suggestion not to add any comments related to appreciation like:
"heeyy Good work man"..."Thanks a lot"...."Very Good Idea"...blah blah...

these comments just increase the size of the QUALITY threads nothing else. I have seen that most of the Threads even QUALITY threads includes 25% appreciation comments....R we scaring the people not to read the Threads?? as the thread size is too much. People are here to read some useful stuff...atleast not the appreciation comments in the thread.

Think if a thread reaches 100 pages...do u think any new member or a guest can go thru the complete thread.No one has enough time to read a thread of 100 padegs or smthing....so if we ouself take a decision not to post appreciation comments on to Quaity threads or even to normal ones...then we can decrease the size of the threads.

Also if we really want to appreciate the people for their good work then we can:
1. Always Rate the Thread accordingly, also here we can do the sorting(JL website developers) accordingly which thread is much imp depends on the rating...as noone has enough time to read all the threads.
2. We can do a Private message to a person who has started the thread or who has added some useful stuff.
3. We can also create a sub-thread(if this option is there) which is dedicated for appreciation comments only.
may be more ways are there to appreciate people...and i suppose we are not here to just "Show off" like people...we are here to present some good idea.

This is a suggestion for people convenience...because just looking the soze of the threads most people never dare to read the complete thread.

Regards,
Sumit Teotia.

Absolutely right suggestion Sumit , Moderators looking at the editorial section , please keep these things in mind. :)


I request all to please pour in with new and innovative ideas which can help us venture into something really concrete. And together with the senior and responsible members / Admins / Moderators , we can really make a difference.

Best Reagrds,

Two cheers to admins/mods, three cheers to site and four cheers to the Jats present,upcoming on the site.This infact add to the intellectual, harmonious and mature content for the intra-learning of members.

All my good wishes with members.

Thanks Kapil, Anil, Pannu Sir,Dahiya Sir, B.Tevtia and every optimistic member who belived in this idea.

Cheers!
 
A Thrilling News, indeed.

Editorial Section is a reality. Surprisingly, it has come about much sooner than expected. Credit for this mainly goes to Kapil Dahiya for floating the idea and to Satyeshwar for accepting it; all others may rejoice for giving it a push. My compliments to all and best wishes for the success of the new venture.

I am happy to note that Samar Singh Kadyan has already taken the much desired lead by starting the thread; young blood needs to take it further.

For a while, I had gone in passive mode, which may be normal with me in future, too. In any case, I have gone past the stage/age of being at a working or, for that matter, even at supervisory level; hence my contribution may not be much. It is not even needed mainly because we have lot many youngsters, who are full of new ideas and enthusiasm to carry the torch forward successfully. Notwithstanding, I hope to be there as a playback, a role which suits me temperamentally, too.

Editorial Section will require lot of attention of/supervision by Editors, thereby increasing their workload manifold. The Members will do well to keep that in mind and help them by contributing through meaningful and healthy discussions; there should be no tendency to sidetrack the main issue.

Lastly, a word of advice for consideration. In this section, let us avoid unnecessary element and restrict the use only to " English" language. I am not against the promotion of our dialect (in fact, being from the grass roots, I love it), which already enjoys tremendous scope in other sections; it is because the Editorial Section should have a place of pride, which can earn respect from outsiders, too.

God bless !!!
 
Hey Guys,

I posted a thread on the Editorial section. Now I am pretty happy with the response it is getting but I am not sure about the kind of responses. Let me explain before you guys jump on me!
Editorial section in any platform or magazine considers language sacrosanct so please, please refrain from using SMS kind of language. Please realize that we are trying to build a body of work which we can be proud of. Otherwise we could have started the thread in time pass secton (discounting the personal attacks of course). Now informal language works ok in other forums (although I still have my arguments against it) but the whole purpose of editorial section is that our thoughts are presented clearly and succintly. So please take the pain to refine your thoughts and hence your language. It doesn't matter then if it is Hindi or English. I know it is frustrating but as a child if you have ever sent a letter to newspaper editor you would probably find this a hundred times easier.
This is for mods. I found that I could only edit my text twice as there were some mistakes pointed out to me. But now I can't edit anymore and there is still a glaring error that I want to edit.
Also please consider an editor instead of a moderator.
Hope you guys will take it in good spirit.
 
for mods !!!

i observed in the morning today tht my post on editorial section was 2nd, only to realize after checking sum time later tht its no. 4.

i do agree tht the post will follow the sequential order in accordance to the time when it was posted. my concern here is tht if the posts r inserted in btwn (i mean the later post showing earlier on the thread... like mine) the chances of missing the posts r higher. pls. ensure tht the posts r cleared after moderation in sequential order, obviously in accordance with the time they were posted.

secondly, is it possible to show the thread as UNREAD when a post arrives at tht thread after moderation ? i observed tht the thread has been showing as READ since morning, despite of the fact I saw more posts being added.
 
What is ironic is the thread talks about communication and articulation and we are being deficient in articulating our ideas on articulation!
 
Sumeet its a steep learning curve for some and a curve in any case for all.

Patience is a virtue mate! :)
 
Nice thoughts as shared by the worthy members.....and found the satisfactory replies by Satyeshwar (our moderator)

rest for asked conditions and behaviour its our responsibility to abide by the same
 
I understand patience is a virtue. I waited almost four days before posting the thread after writing it on my computer. The reason was that I wanted to revise the thoughts and make them as clear as possible. In fact that is how editorial section should be. Unless you are making a serious contribution and not catching the thought drift, you can stay away.
If the members still are unable to do it, we should look at the process once again. There has to be editing involved in editorials! Otherwise we won't be able to achieve any quality.
That's just my view. Moderation just doesn't cut it for me at Editorial section. When I learnt of the concept through this thread, I was quite excited but now I am confused since there is not much difference between Editorial and Other Forums.

Hi Sumeet,

Truly appreciate your thoughts mate. But we must also give the due credits.

Thanks to Mods for providing us the platform and at least a restricted place. I agree this ain't ideal but its far better than nothing.

Mate , dont be confused , rather provide us quality posts and ideas so as to keep this flame burning and we can always move towards perfection.
Nothing ain't ideal , its only tending to the abstract concept ,right ? :) :)


=======

@ Mods : Please look at the possibility of having an Editor with us on the Editorial Section. Ofcourse I do understand , it can take time to find one but please make conscious efforts.
:)
