Re: Role of moderators (continued from that other thread)
Well I think this thread has served it purpose hence administration should close it now ..
It was very kind and generous of x2 and ATA bahi to answer most of our doltish questions …
*As I see it there are three elements to this operation, Admins, Mods and the Posters. Each one is equally important and the site would not operate if one of these elements was missing. It therefore follows that all three have certain amount of responsibilities to ensure the success of this site *
I comprehensively agree with eshan bahi and his trio theory here .. But some how I believe Gs administration should not feel trapped or kidnapped by general users which is quite evident in this post …
Moving it to feedback forum was a sensible and appropriate action taken by x2 bahi at very first place ..
**
what a low move there; that was 'general' material.
**
wut? you don't have the 'nads to see what the people of general think?
i know wuts gonna happen here; ehsan bhai is gonna give a political answer and close the thread.
*WEAAAK!! *
why wait? close it now!!
we've got cowards running this place.
*Then it was moved back to general forum after above quoted post made by Anil Khan , I don’t agree with his ‘ nads to see what the people of general think ‘ theory .. *
Do we have any specific general crowd ? I don’t think so my lord …
Most of the users I know here visit several forums including feedback and Gs support forum every day .. so if its all about getting feed back from general users, it could be / should be done in feedback and Gs support forum….
Once we have set the standards , we should follow them and urge/make general users to follow them as well ….
*Its very high time and relevant that Gupshup administration should think about starting paid membership scheme .. I aint asking to go all hands for paid membership but we can keep it running like yahoo or hotmail guys .. Choice would be yours , if you wana stay normal user , keep using it for free but paid membership would come with extra benefits .. *
We have loads of members , who are down here from some grand years .. if given attractive benefits / mitzvahs , I hope they don’t mind paying 30 to 50 quid for a yearly membership …
Ehsan bahi , ask x2 bahi to write a business proposal on this yoke .. there is a niche in market .. if it work out for us . we would be running Gs as a public limited company very soon..
*When we regard our normal users as stakeholders why don’t make them real shareholders.. *
A real marketing department should be another yoke on our list , when sites like urdupoint get some real advertisement , why cant we ? I have seen some matrimonial ads over there .. our wedding/shor sharba/ cooking forums are doing well indeed .. if we approach our target market with feasible plans , I hope , we can do it as well ….
Lately I have seen threads about very common problems regarding threads and blogs in our feedback/support forum , like how to do this and that ..
Its time we should update our FAQ and do some video demos regarding basic issues , demos same as we get with software products .. for example why not do a video demo which will cover issue from how to add smileys to how to add tags in your post …
We have very much elaborated threads in several forums ( for example .. Audio form) regarding tag issues but still we see people facing trouble following given instructions . Therefore we should kiss it , I mean keep it simple . Hence a video demo would be more beneficial for our general users .. and thesedays we have tech support gurus in our Administration crowd who are very much capable/green thumb of doing such assignments ..
My two and half pence :D
