First of all as webgeek reiterated above there is no regionalism. Moderating the board is not an easy job and a very painful one. Everybody who posts here thinks what they post is fact. Otherwise they won't post it. Rather than assuming the opposing view is an opinion, I urge members to respect each other and have open mind in exchanging views.

Thanks to geek for posting the above PM that I sent to Andhrite few months ago, and saved me time to repeat it. If somebody still doesn’t understand the PM, let me put it differently. If somebody is caught speeding going at 60 mph, the admins and moderators will moderate the message/ thread in one way, and if we feel somebody is going at 120mph we moderate it differently, but definitely more critically. Don’t assume or argue that we need to treat both the same. Even the past warnings given against the member also reduces ones liberty to speed beyond certain limit. That is the essence of the above quote. I urge members to take a note of it.

As far as the popularity of the website, it is just as popular. There are several reasons. The members who visit the website are increasing, though most of them lurk here but don’t post. Unless, there is some significant action going on, like assembly elections, these members don’t like to post, however we urge them to express their opinions at all times. When somebody says that it is losing its popularity, and at the same time show ultra eagerness to post here, it tells us how popular this website is and how important for them to put their views. We are fine with any propaganda as long no internet version of rowdyism is expressed against other members.

Once again I request all posters to share their views without any fear, and all those members who visit this website to get in and post their valuable comments.

Thanks,
Ved.
