The Whining/Complaint Thread

Guys,

Post all the complains u have regarding the forum in this thread, regarding fellow members etc... or issues that u believe have not been solved after reporting threads/posts. Mind your language while u do this. Any complaint post henceforth, outside this thread, anywhere else in the forum, will be summarily deleted and a warning served. Of-course the Feedback section is still there for you to leave feedback, this thread is for complaint and discussion. This thread is NOT a substitute for the "Report Post" function, do not report posts/threads here, only those issues that cannot be addressed by the Report Post function should be posted here.
Kniwor.

So I gotta keep coming here to see if my name is on the WANTED list or something?

This idea is ridiculous, instead ask to use the report system. Complains have to be done in private, doing so in public would only spin it out of control with additional members joining it 'for fun'.

No offense but this image suits here more than the last thread I tried :lol:

*media.urbandictionary.com/image/page/lolumad-57503.jpg

Just kidding there.

Didn't some member here have an ENTIRE website just so that people can rant and whine?

Well, IMO this is a nice idea. Instead of letting people post in whatever threads and sections they find.

But, please make sure , mods don't delete posts 'physically', saying that the post was offensive.

Anyways, on topic:

Please tell me if discussing about unlocking and jailbreaking iPhones, is allowed in this forum.
IMO, If talking about OS X On a PC is Illegal, then this should be too.

Thread: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57559&page=246

This is no place to report posts/threads.

Everyone does believe (including me) that complaints should be made in private, and that is the right way to do things, but members are persistent on posting crap everywhere around in the forum to express their discontentment, then they complain that's because there is no place to do that, this is a step to keep the forum clean, not all things can be absolutely right, but "appropriate" is the word we are looking for here. I am warning you guys again, If you use offensive language in this thread, you will serve a ban, posting complains in other threads will NOT be tolerated anymore.

IMO, such members should be warned once, then banned.

Why in the world would anyone want to see this in Public? Isn't that quite obvious? Its the "Lets add more fuel to fire and dance around it!" attitude. And just because its a Public forum doesn't give anyone the right to troll or flamebait. However considering this is in Fight Club I guess its the norm.

@mods: This thing is just flamebait for a random drive thru insult fest which some people are using at free of cost. Don't take it seriously. It comes with the post you have . Your time is better spent elsewhere

Offtopic response to the above^: You have been banned on IRC in the channel

. J/K.

I welcome this move.
Let the member also post what they like and what they dont like about Digit forum member/ moderator/ and management .

But please dont delete posts, which complains that any member/ moderator is doing wrong and than also no one is stooping him. And in that case, dont take a particular side because he/ she is old member or reputated member or forum moderator.

Thanks for starting a open discussion.

120 sec limit in reporting a thread, its cool

what if some wants to bash a mod ? :))

ok.. since no one is starting any fire to add the fuel.. :lol:

Here's a link that was sent to me by an x-member of this forum

Anybody got a lighter?

^^lol

"Mods are not Gods and they have no right to ban a person without warning for silly things for words like stupid, idiot, monkey, donkey etc"

"The only being that is not answerable for anything is GOD himself"

This thread is not meant to report only moderator activities. And also, moderator are not GOD of the forum that we will blindly follow them. We have rights to speak against anyone if he is doing wrong.

buried underneath, defeats the very purpose of thi thread...lol

I don't understand you guys, I have posted in BOLD letters, take care in what you post, you are given a platform to complain does not mean you use any kind of language you like, I have removed the link because of the vulgarity in language it has.

@Cyrus_the_virus
Just dont make posts for the heck of it, if u have a problem, you are welcome to come forward and speak, posts such are yours is the biggest example of immaturity, just willing to start a fight, this is a tech forum and we are all here for tech discussion, not to have a little fun here.

lol.. complaints without fights? :lol:

And that too a thread in the fight club?

BTW, I didn't fight nor did I start a fight. Posted only what I received through the PM allowed by Digit. And by the way, don't be so red faced. Chill maadi, calm, peace. lol.

Don't talk about immaturity when you've started a thread in a fight club asking members to post complaints about others and you don't expect a flame war? You expect everyone to sit down and have a great dinner, laugh and joke and complain about each other, it's time you wake up and do a reality check. :lol:

BTW, I'm making this my last post in this, because by the way your face is getting red, I'm quite sure I'll be banned :lol:

if I post more.

why is this forum going nuts ?

everytime someone tries to raise a point, damn either the thread gets locked or the post that are key essential to know th actual matter are deleted.

Do you think a lone footloose will come and start complaining here falling to the bait and then getting banned ?

Would it be too much of a trouble for you special members to move these posts here.

May I ask the logic of you putting me up as number 4? Whats your basis for determining "pro-special members or special members". I posted in response to someone who was talking about bumping threads. However I also find the +1 posts rather irritating esepcially if they dont come with any text at all

We have enough brain cells to decipher which post is meant to insult/create problems, and which post is harmless. We have our lives too.. We cannot scrutinize each and every post made on this forum. You don't realize how much effort it takes to moderate this forum.

You really know how to appreciate someone's selfless and voluntary contribution to try and maintain the decorum on this forum. Kudos to you! You sure know how to show respect to fellow members when you post.

Yes, and its time you stopped it and started posting by taking "vanity" and "idealism for dummies" off of your list ( I mean not to post like this, the way I have reflected you in replying). After all, you are the guy who goes with the system!!

Why move here? They didn't serve a purpose there and won't here either. You completely veered a mag thread into a forum fight and shouted your heart out. Now you got your thread here, so rant on.

This has no end, welcome.

IT Idiot said:

You're one of those January 1 birthday guys (And submit) right? Welcome aboard!

L

Instead of whining/complaining (though it is irritating to many/a few) why don't we just post the issue/link and then just give our suggestions and "hope" the concerned member/moderator responds to it in an equal civil way?? I certainly think we should at least start every potential problem in that manner(it may get carried away or certainly become sarcastic/flaming) and see how it goes.

Ok, here are three potential issues which I think is of some concern, I was not the one to put it, but I find them relatively misleading because it seems to be unresolved owing to complications.
1) Aryayush's post regarding torrents (not blaming you buddy)
Discussion related to torrent clients -> yes. it is software issue
Discussion related to torrent trackers (as to how to check if tracker is down bla bla) -> again, can be allowed, its software/technology issue.
Discussion related to torrent sites (even though you provide a legal link which is in reality 0.01% in torrents, in spite of the fact that we all may accept what we all do) -> No, against forum policy, its a site which hosts 99% of illegal stuffs and there is no justification to provide in that regard. If there is a site dedicated to legal torrents (a big IF), of course the mods would/should allow it.
I hope this is what grudgy intended to say (or at least I found peace in this regard) and hope this would clear the confusion reg. this issue

2) Again Aryayush's post (again not blaming you, really. Please don't take it offensively)
I don't understand why its in QnA section because off late, I see only general discussions and features (games, themes etc...) of iphones, greatness of apple software in restoring, and other mac products of course. The thread has deviated way from clearing the questions/doubts. Or for that matter there are no questions to answer and so the thread is just continuing with apple's innovativeness and intuitiveness (which I don't deny but its not the place). Also, potentially leading to discussions regarding iPhone unlocked recently.(see 3)

3) also is in this regard,
3.1) discussions pertaining to the legality of Mac OS X on PC is being allowed (whose result was that it is illegal) while "how to install Mac OS X on a PC" threads will be locked/deleted.
3.2) discussions pertaining to legality of iPhones unlocking SHOULD be allowed in the same regard, while "discussing how or where to get softwares to unlock iPhone" as discussed in link2 should be avoided/intimated by moderators (this has not yet been done or replied to or actions taken and have stirred way too much arguments and off-topic/flaming posts, no blaming intended, I would have done the same).
3.3) and finally, the fanboyism issue. Yes, its the biggest of all. And, members and moderators are both involved in this!! I don't want to name here, but if necessary I can/will (certainly not helping in anyway though). Its time we get over this "windows vs linux vs mac" issue and restrict it to the fight club section alone and keep the sanity of the threads related to Mac or Windows Vista or so as such which is the purpose of the thread.

F

You're one of those January 1 birthday guys (And submit) right? Welcome aboard!

Lmao ! Good one.

3.1) discussions pertaining to the legality of Mac OS X on PC is being allowed (whose result was that it is illegal) while "how to install Mac OS X on a PC" threads will be locked/deleted.

Discussing the legality of an issue shouldn't be considered as illegal content in my honest opinion. I believe the thread was locked because it started to turn into an OS war rather than the actual leagality of things.

3.2) discussions pertaining to legality of iPhones unlocking SHOULD be allowed in the same regard, while "discussing how or where to get softwares to unlock iPhone" as discussed in link2 should be avoided/intimated by moderators (this has not yet been done or replied to or actions taken and have stirred way too much arguments and off-topic/flaming posts, no blaming intended, I would have done the same).

I believe he stopped posting anything about iPhones after it was shown that it was illegal to do the same.

Its time we get over this "windows vs linux vs mac" issue and restrict it to the fight club section alone and keep the sanity of the threads related to Mac or Windows Vista or so as such which is the purpose of the thread.

A definite must. I believe this is the cause of pretty much every problem in this forum.

Well, it wud be much better if mods don't lock the threads unnecessarily without even reading the full content of it. This is FIGHt CLUB and is very well defined on the front page of the main index!! Mods with soft and sensitive hearts shudn't be allowed in FIGHT CLUB.
Now why was this closed? . The "long bullsh1ts" there are actually well known facts. One just needs to read before commenting anything.

Neways, but I believe their decisions shud be soft and sensitive!

mediator said:

It was closed, IMO becoz of this

especially, the reason from moderator shantanu is from points 3 & 4 quoted,

rules said:
3. Flaming fellow members for their opinions is a childish thing to do, and members indulging in such will be punished like little children.

4. Racial/Ethnic slurs will not be tolerated.

Ok, I've got a complaint about this forum. Why the hell can't we have an option to have a bigger avatar??? I can't create avatars myself, so I use ready made avatars and I make sure that it's not indecent. But no, this forum needs to have a limit on avatars as well. Forget about flashy userbars and images for signatures, gimme bigger avatars!!!! One more thing I don't udnerstand is, even if I post an animated avatar, it's static only on this forum, but not others. Why is that???

^^ You can resize the avatars using freewares like Irfan view

legolas said:

Again, read the whole thread. Ur post didn't tell much. In a religious topic, whenever subjects of child marriage etc are concerned and few where rituals are practiced based on blind faith, it seems to be fine if it is Hinduism but as usual provocative and unbearable if its any other religion? I myself oppose many such blind practices and ask to parade those priests, under the scorching sun, who ill treat poor people. The same was being discussed about ISLAM where a blind practice is being carried on.

Any topic regarding religion is a sensitive one. There wasn't much abuse, but people were just posting the reality!! So, I think mods shudn't even enter the FIGHT CLUB if they can't acknowledge the gravity of the situation, read the thread and understand whats going on or differentiate between "long bullsh1t" and "sour truth/facts".

OK here's my list of the whinings/complaints:
Higher message limit (>=100),
More skins,
Bigger avatars,
Images in signatures (there is a setting for this in CP but for god-knows-what reason it doesn't work),
And most importantly,
A special section in Mobile Monsters named "Which phone to buy". Members who want to have opinions/suggestions as to which cell phone would be most suitable for them in their particular budget, should post in that section while all other Mobile related news, views and reviews will go in the main section as usual. People who want to buy a new phone can just visit that section and may find a thread already there that answers their questions. Currently the 'Which phone' threads get mixed with other threads so many people don't bother to search and just create a new thread when a similar thread was created a few days ago.

Hoping all these things become a reality.

50 messages and 120 sec limit just not enuf, change it for the sake of thread reporting

+ 1 at legolas's 2nd thread report at post number 30

+1. I second those requests.
And especially that which phone to buy section, we see a new thread almost everyday!.
But, IMO, its better to have a generic, Suggest me a [product] section, where all such threads could go.

Cheers.

i have a complaint...

A mod(Don't want to disclose the name but i know the name) closed a active thread which was under hot discussion.....

The thread is *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=85728
and that too without any last post by a mod...

My argument in the thread is not yet completed

Mods are now becoming a more like dictators...
may be it;s better to call them dicts

^^ You should be happy i didnt give you a warning/ban for:

1. Posting OLD stuff as a tutorial.
2. Lifting it up from another site and passing it here as your own creation.
3. Linking your blog as source.
4. Arguing with other members when they point out your mistakes.

And if you had the name of the MOD who closed the thread, why didnt you PM him and ask for clarification? I really dont understand what with the people in this forum and respecting MODs.

personally,I dont think @adi will go for a copy paste.but..this seems odd. :-|

his posts esp in programming section are nice.

A

Posting OLD stuff as a tutorial.

This is agree...i didn't knew that it was found out by Amit 2 years ago..you could see my post 3 accepting that

Lifting it up from another site and passing it here as your own creation.
Linking your blog as source.

This is not right sir...
I just referred the SDK docs' and found out my own way to do so...

Arguing with other members when they point out your mistakes.

See the argument was not becoz that the similar tut was found in labnol website it was becoz of other reason

See why i am arguing with you is not to support that my tut is awesome or some thing like that...Actually i am ashamed that this tut was found 2 year ago itself..

Why i am arguing with you coz your views about reference has shocked me...
I am arguing with you coz you have stated my act as plagarisum ..

You could have just posted that this tut was found 2 years ago by Amit and i would have accepted that and removed this tut itself....

^^excerpt from my post..

The argument was with the reference of SDK...

and BTW the mod first closed the thread without seeing all the posts and then after i made the above post the mod then looked through all the posts and made the comment....
That means all mods are following first lock then look policy

Heh.. I was the one who locked it.. And im doing some work right now.. So left that window open.. Its not that i was going through the thread after locking it. Frankly speaking, i locked it cause it was old news, and was creating unnecessary argument. Nothing else. It had gone WAYY offtopic anyway.. And you would have got the explaination, if you would have PMd me.

What???Is this some kind of rule you just made and want fellow members to follow it. Where is it written that Calling by names is against the rule.....Just cause you don't like it and (how I dunno) you've got the power to ban , you'll start banning ppl. WOW!! Great work!!!

drgrudge said:

Really?? Members here are not owner of any teams??? Is that what you're telling me?? To be honest, I never knew this!!Thanks for telling me......I always thought you as the owner of CSK

Of course we are here to support, but if you ever interacted with any friends then you should know that the side effect of supporting any team is that you are surely going to be teased if you're team lost...it a common phenomenon. But if you can't take a bit of teasing after CSK lost, either by gaurav or me or any one else the you have no right to show your support either.You either be silent and expect silence or you shout aloud and be prepared to be shouted back..you just can't expect silence then...

drgrudge said:

No . No. No. Please dont ban me. My life will come to a halt. 2 days without thinkdigit??? What are my friends gonna say... my parents will be ashamed... and my grandpa....he will surely expel me from his will.....Please dont let this happen to me......what a disaster....

...I dont feel like living anymore, now that I'm banned.....

drgrudge said:
What monopoly? See his post. I warned gaurav_indian and still he quoted my post and commented something which was not necessary.

Yeah, and chit-chat section is the most necessary section in this forum. This is the heart and soul of TD. Nothing unnecessary is allowed here.Be it 2432423 Rate the c0(k size above you threads or She loves me , she loves me not, if she doesnt , will her brother love me? threads,all are necessary.
But some how , a joke, said in good context(which coincidently makes a bit fun of your STFU behavior and coincidently you being the mod) is unnecessary enough to ban some one and set an example that no one can touch the untouchable drgrudge.

Good work doc, I like the way you Mod!! Oh, before your great brain comes to this conclusion, I'm eggman only.

Please admin, look at this thing seriously and look pages 50 and 51 of the official IPL Thread(before dr.grudge deletes all those posts saying that it was offtopic, rather than merging those post here with this threads which an egoistic person like him wont do....) ....

I request all mods to hereby please set a warning to anyone who is crossing the line..a warning should be followed by at least a 24 hour stay...this is not a multinational where each second shall result in the loss of a zillion dollars...

i remember kalpik gave me an infraction which still can be seen in my profile, which was much better than the last time mehul banned me without a warning (yeah, i remmber that)

awesome, u deserve to come off the ban just for writing that

^^Thanks for raising the issue guys...I've already posted my feelings in that thread only, but for this thread's sake I am doing it again.

First of all

Recap of Why I(eggman) was banned

CSK lost

in response

I poked little fun at his frustration

Some laughed

Hurts his ego,misuses his powers

Its upto you, if banning me was right. This is what I said in response...

What???Is this some kind of rule you just made and want fellow members to follow it. Where is it written that Calling by names is against the rule.....Just cause you don't like it and (how I dunno) you've got the power to ban , you'll start banning ppl. WOW!! Great work!!!

Really?? Members here are not owner of any teams??? Is that what you're telling me?? To be honest, I never knew this!!Thanks for telling me......I always thought you as the owner of CSK

Of course we are here to support, but if you ever interacted with any friends then you should know that the side effect of supporting any team is that you are surely going to be teased if you're team lost...it a common phenomenon. But if you can't take a bit of teasing after CSK lost, either by gaurav or me or any one else the you have no right to show your support either.You either be silent and expect silence or you shout aloud and be prepared to be shouted back..you just can't expect silence then...

No . No. No. Please dont ban me. My life will come to a halt. 2 days without thinkdigit??? What are my friends gonna say... my parents will be ashamed... and my grandpa....he will surely expel me from his will.....Please dont let this happen to me......what a disaster.......I dont feel like living anymore, now that I'm banned.....

Yeah, and chit-chat section is the most necessary section in this forum. This is the heart and soul of TD. Nothing unnecessary is allowed here.Be it 2432423 Rate the c0(k size above you threads or She loves me , she loves me not, if she doesnt , will her brother love me? threads,all are necessary.
But some how , a joke, said in good context(which coincidently makes a bit fun of your STFU behavior and coincidently you being the mod) is unnecessary enough to ban some one and set an example that no one can touch the untouchable drgrudge.

Yup. Since you are GOD!!! Ruler of this forum and planet.

That waas an awesome song....!!

ANd BTW, I don't think drgrudge deserves to be a mod henceforth. A person who cannot take good natured comments in his stride should not even be posting in that thread.. Like eggman said, your team wins - you make fun of others who lost.. but if you lose, be ready to be made fun of by others..

@drgrudge: You are a forum member first, mod next.. you need to justify your actions. you do not own this forum..! DID you even warn eggman first..? And do you think calling someone King of frustration is insulting or derogatory..? If yes, then grow up..! Honestly, I think your id suits you very well... drgrudge - carrying grudges against people always..!

Hope the admins and other responsible mods look into the matter and settle things..!

P.S: I really don't care if drgrudge develops a grudge against me and decides to ban me for this post..

I've lost interest in this forum for a long time now..

this is ample evidence of the fact that Mod previlages has gone to drgrudge's head

he is sore loser who has indulged in blatant and shameless abuse of power.

let me point it out to you that he himself is not above name calling himself.

when i pointed it out to him sayin that such public display of fanboyism and use of such derogatory description is unbecoming of the Mod of one of the countries most popular forum, he replied

"I am the MOD and I shall do what I want. I don't need to offer any justfication. Any more OFFTOPIC post here and I will ban you "

let there be no doubts in anybody's minds that his response contained the smiley

he with his amazing Mod previlages has also deleted any traces of the conversation we had on that tread

Anybody who demands that drgrudge be removed from Mod duties

that is effin awesome buddy

simply awesome

This drgrudge has no work as the mod here...the mods here think that they are some kind of god whom nature has bestowed upon us to ensure sanctity in the nation..

BUT SORRY MODS..U GOT THAT TOTALLY WRONG!!!!U R NOTHING LESS THAN HUMANS AND YOUR ACTIVITY IS NOT ONLY UNDERMINING THE FORUM BUT YOURSELF AS A PERSON!!!!!!

TO ALL ADMINS-WE WANT A SELF NOMINATED MOD WHOM WE KNOW AND HAVE INTERACTED FOR A WHILE!!THAT SHALL TAKE CARE OF MOST PROBLEMS....THE PRESENT MODS AND THE NOMINATED ONES CAN ACT TOGETHER..

AND ALSO WE NEED A PERFORMANCE THREAD FOR THE MODS WHERE WE SHALL RATE THEM IN TERMS OF 1-10--THAT SHALL KEEP THEIR IDIOCIES IN CHECK!!!!A MOD WHOSE GRAPH GOES BELOW A CERTAIN VALUE SHALL BE EXPELLED WITHOUT NOTICE..OBVIOUSLY MEMBERS WOULD BE ENTITILED TO A PROPER JUSTIFICATION TO THE POINTS GIVEN!!

In my opinion, drgrudge dont deserve to be a MOD............Infact he should be banned for misusing his power.

drgrudge is the oldest, still active Mod on the forum.

at any given time of the day you are more likely to find him to be be only Mod logged in

i doubt if the thinkdigit people would remove such a dedicated, committed, self-sacrficing [LOL RMAO ROFL !!!!] servant

n e way what i suggest s that the decision to ban a member must be taken after a consensus of 3 Mods has been taken or 1 Admin - and the names of the 3 approvng mods must be clearly mentioned

by giving them sinlge-point authority you are only making them vulnerable to indulge in such malparactices

there is no way in hell that any other Mod would have approved of drgrudge's shameless abuse of power.

i am quite sure that there are quite a few Mods here who disapprove of drgrudge's dictatorial, arrogant, narcissistic behaviour but are not voicing it [quite rightly] because open dissent among Mods would relfect poorly on the forum.

Yeah like me for example.

king of misconceptions-krazzy

Yaar just temme one thing.. The one person, abt whom so many ppl are posting, the one gr888 hero of this forum, where is he? I am soooooooooo jealous of him!
DrGrudge uncle, are u listening?

well....just want to add something to wat all my fellow digitians said....

1. mods are not dictators..oops again...
2. they should not be given the power to ban a guy just like that..atleast a 24hr warning shld be ther where he could come clean..if the user wants...someone already said this....
3. when a ban is done there SHOULD be a admin approval...and the BAN REASON given to other members ...not that a mod felt like its bad and just banned him...
4. this is too Rabbo and fatbeing..coz i only know u two as admins..please spend time on other threads too..i know u ppl are VERY busy but please spen 15mts here too...
5.yeas i support amd for his idea for MOD METER...hope u like the name....
6. not all mods are same we all know that i personaly do have experience with kalpik..kniwor..hitboxx...they seem pretty decent...

and finally...please RAABO OR FATBEING OR ANY ADMIN please rspond here...atleast spen 5mts here...

@legolas.....

why the heck did u put a no in mine post..in a pic posted by u in 2nd page of this thread..to be frank i dint understand..bad or good...

A

Ok...i also need to say a word..
drgrudge has too much grudge on his head...
He thinks himself a superior member and others inferior...

I have seen many posts where his arrogance and grudge is openly exhibited...
I wont point them here but if any one is interested then look through his posts and u will find many...

I think there must be reconsideration of his power as a mod...

somehow i feel none of the very good things recommended by anyone of us will never be implemented here....

or if theres too much yelling have to be done..why dont u guys introduce a shout here....on the frontpage...

u do know a shouts purpose???

the moderators have the option of giving a 15 day probation to members if they violate a rule, kalpik used the same on me, he gave me a 15 day infraction within which another foul and i'm in shameful misery if not then until next time

i think all mods should make use of this

u know wat....mods are like....

ohh this a heat zone..come here..ass is burned..

i could see several mods reading this page without even responding....
why coz u guys thing "put all eggs into one basket"

It's been used extensively in various big forums like digitalpoint..
It would be nice if the mods use them ..and BTW we seriously need a admin here......the admin places the google adsense ads and earns from this forum but will they will not come frequently ...Are they so busy that they can't spare even 15-30 mins in the forum..?

well, i have been through that thread too (IPL) and i believe that the MOD was crossing the line way too much.

its rather an unpleasant thing to bring out , but somethings like this needs to come to light and needs to be sorted out asap, else it will be the forum who will loose members

it takes a lot and lots of time to bring a forum come alive and takes very less time to be dead, once dead it almost impossible to be reborn again too...

it was rather stupid to use powers in the "chit-chat" section.its only a chillout section. and IPL thread is bound to have peoples supporting players and teams from their heart and when that happens you will see such teasings and other things .....

CHIT-CHAT: between friends ,
we are all friends here , its just a chat section.

the purpose of this thread like all customer care lines is only for allowing the members/customers an outlet to vent their anger and keep on whining, expecting something to come out of it is a far-fetched thought

dude, wtf ? Is this WW3 or WWE ?(WW3 = world war 3; WWE = world wrestling entertainment) Either way its going real bad

why not just take up the issue with an admin, instead of insulting cursing and throwing tartums on this thread ? I am sure Kwinor may close it. You are forgetting that as a member of this forum, there is no democracy here; just "a king and his ministers who are supposed to rule us well" to use one of the "forum management team" member's words(I won't say who for personal reasons).

I am not being pessimistic. I just presented the facts from my experience over the past year or so.

PS: guess I spoke too fast when I said I won't open my mouth

Anyways, I'm not in the favour of degrading drgrudge's status as a mod. You guys should also see that he has been a mod in this forum since a very long time and has actually done a fair job. May be, I think he wasn't in a very good mood and thats why he bursted on them......

Bit I really think that it wasn't a good gesture by drgrudge.

just kidding.
in eggman's favor is my view, it doesn't deserve a ban certainly. it was much less than name-calling and btichy-fights i have seen in this forum and where even the mods participated in them.

unfortunate event is this ban. But I guess it was an emotional decision if am not wrong.

gxsaurav was banned once ..he was so gentle that he didnt come and protest for his ban but messaged imav and got the issue solved.
mentioned this bcoz it suddenly comes my mind

@slugger care to explain my no in the pic and my role...ha..????

@leg...

my bad....mistake.....

actually grudge is or was online just abt now..and he didnt even care to come here..he doesnt give a paise...

should we all mail the admins to get some reply from mods/admins??? is that how it is now-a-days here?

don't tell me no one is watching this !!

@madjeri -> no problem.

Wat...everyone is here..they are here..start searing or abusing and they are here..

well..some members have already mailed the admins about this..this is very unprofessional in regard of digit..they dont even give a second thought in banning a member..but when a mod is in bad light the whole thing is compressed..

not a single mod comes up and wrds on our grievances..is this a forum or what??

Well said ravi
The forum was at it's best 3 months ago..

I still remember i used to go to the college internet cafe as soon as the college ends and used to sit there 1-2 hrs browsing digit forum..i never missed a day...even when their were no classes i used come to the college just to see my digit..

After that i got a BSNL BB in my home....As soon as i got the net i dunno what happened to this forum....i never miss a thread but all threads seems to be in flame or some BS discussion...Original post was intended to say something and the discussion was something else...

Forum building takes a long time......and forum vanishment takes a very small time.....

I think the title of this thread says it all, "The Whining/Complaint Thread" and it certainly is not called "You whine, we fix!"

even though his Last Activity: Today 07:45 PM , he don't even bother to reply here. Oh...I forgot, he doesn't need to justify his Godly action...

what i've observed about the mods here is that if there is a conflict of interest between the mods and members they won't reply n the thread, newer mods like kalpik & hitboxx though bother and choose to do so but certain other mods don't.

what makes matters worse is that the admins too don't bother to reply because the forum activity stats give them the liberty not to do so

cowardly action from their side

H

Let me share my personal thoughts on a few proposals made here and then some more

1) Ask admin for a ban: This is highly impractical, imagine going to the admin asking for a ban everytime, while the fact is, the position of moderator is created so that admin can't be there everywhere and everytime, not to mention they are not the admin for just the forum while we are the mods for just the forum.

2) 24 hour deadline: Someone suggested the user must be time-framed for 24 hours between the warning and the ban. Let's take an example, glance this thread, when a user is out for kicks and ignoring all forum policy, if I do give him the 24 hours time, will he heed? No, because he won't bother. And because the activity of the members is swift and agile (thankfully), reactions and counter-reactions occur with a very short time frame. And if you take the particular thread in question, the user even managed to get another id and come and hit back at a member. NOW, imagine the same scenario in regard to 10 members in 10 different threads in 10 different sections, how should we manage?.

3) Mod assisted ban: Regarding this, we do consult other mods whenever we are in doubt on how to react to a particular situation, and different mods have different working hours, so it gets a little difficult due to the nature of the internet.

4) Mods are users too: We are users too, just like you, no better no less. Scanning every post, reading discussions, maintaining directions, etc take just half of a mod's daily ritual, and in most of the cases what happens is, due to the nature of the content, when we would have already edited the things beforehand and a user oblivious to this, who just came in, demands the mod for a justification for the actions he has taken there. You tell me, is it fair we have to gone on explaining every other action? And there is the other evil too, spams, and this forum has become some sort of hit list for the spam(bots & humans) these days.

An example
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/crop320.jpg

So you see, we do tend to be vulnerable to the same things that you all are. Only constant improvisation will lead to a better growth and we are trying.

As for the particular incident, I can't practically comment or judge, as you should understand, it may be an emotional moment, it may be a spur of feelings, or something entirely different for the party involved, I don't know nor can I imagine. All I can say is we are trying to do the best we can.

These were just my thoughts and in no way affiliated to anybody

@hitboxx: i chose to stay away from this topic considering my previous run-ins with 3 other mods, but wth!

when u make your second point, you lose some credibility in my eyes (not that you should care), why?

Neither are we so dumb nor are u, the case your pointing is a blatant violation of laws & ethics and I don't see any member revolting against that decision, the member is a new guy to this forum & is using defamatory language, but there are various occasions where mods have used their powers against members who have been around long, are well known to other members even mods in some cases, when you weigh such a case with the 1 u pointed out makes no sense, there is no comparison.

eggman, is a well-known active member, fellow members know him, he has credible posts to himself, it is rather dis-respectful that you compare him with the guy you pointed out to.

most of the active members are well aware of what amount of work a mod needs to put in (note: some members are mods at other forums too)

a member who is well known, who is active, has credible posts to himself giving him a 24 hr warning will work for the good rather than the bad

ask kalpik he would agree.

H

Fair enough, but my thoughts were in regards to the general feel of mods being anything else but mods.

It's got nothing to do with eggman or drgrudge.

Hitboxx said:
Let me share my personal thoughts on a few proposals made here and then some more

1) Ask admin for a ban: This is highly impractical, imagine going to the admin asking for a ban every time, while the fact is, the position of moderator is created so that admin can't be there everywhere and every time, not to mention they are not the admin for just the forum while we are the mods for just the forum.

I agree with you, the purpose of mods are to reduce the load of admin.

Hitboxx said:
2) 24 hour deadline: Someone suggested the user must be time-framed for 24 hours between the warning and the ban. Let's take an example, glance this thread, when a user is out for kicks and ignoring all forum policy, if I do give him the 24 hours time, will he heed? No, because he won't bother. And because the activity of the members is swift and agile (thankfully), reactions and counter-reactions occur with a very short time frame. And if you take the particular thread in question, the user even managed to get another id and come and hit back at a member. NOW, imagine the same scenario in regard to 10 members in 10 different threads in 10 different sections, how should we manage?.

But you have to take the case of innocent mistakes, when user is unaware of his mistake. Better give him warning, in case of repeat... Ban him.like iMav says.....

Hitboxx said:
3) Mod assisted ban: Regarding this, we do consult other mods whenever we are in doubt on how to react to a particular situation, and different mods have different working hours, so it gets a little difficult due to the nature of the internet.

4) Mods are users too: We are users too, just like you, no better no less. Scanning every post, reading discussions, maintaining directions, etc take just half of a mod's daily ritual, and in most of the cases what happens is, due to the nature of the content, when we would have already edited the things beforehand and a user oblivious to this, who just came in, demands the mod for a justification for the actions he has taken there. You tell me, is it fair we have to gone on explaining every other action? And there is the other evil too, spams, and this forum has become some sort of hit list for the spam(bots & humans) these days.

An example
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/crop320.jpg

So you see, we do tend to be vulnerable to the same things that you all are. Only constant improvisation will lead to a better growth and we are trying.

Yup. Noone is complaining on the inefficiency of mods.We all know its a hard job for you fellas and (most of)you are good at your work.

But if someone thinks himself superior to everyone and misuses his power he needs to be stripped off his power. ...

Hitboxx said:
As for the particular incident, I can't practically comment or judge, as you should understand, it may be an emotional moment, it may be a spur of feelings, or something entirely different for the party involved, I don't know nor can I imagine. All I can say is we are trying to do the best we can.

Why don't you tell that particular half of the involved party to give justification for his Godly action,instead of hiding under babooon.

H

Of course, we do and can differentiate a silly mistake by a newbie and a reputed member and then the inbetweens. But most fun lovers(register just for the kick) we see are just out for kicks and this has been true in recent times.

That was an example.

if the mod assisted ban response is being made because of this, then let me clarify that the consensus need be sought only if the member to be banned has more than 10/15 posts

obviously it would be impracticle/unnecessary to wait for other mods when a new member starts posting ads for shoes sex and drugs

Oh! i think i missed a lot of things!

But i think that When someone is given Great powers for greater good and he misuses it Then The Power Must be Taken from him (like it happened in SHAKTIMAAN WEN HE SAVED GITA'S LIFE :lol:

i think u guys remeber SHAKTIMAAN, Do U?)

and where is DRgrudgy now! His action was really unfair!

HE SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR MISSUSING HIS POWER

fun2sh said:

He is hiding under babbooon.....

Hey guys whats the point of calling drgrudge names like immoral, debauched, shameless, useless, third class, loser and then just sitting around on our backside.

And why wait for the Admins to take some action - let the admins know that if member do not particiapte on the forum, no matter how amazing datacenters you hire to host your forum, it is all useless.

We too have some powers that we could easily use to put out our point

I say, 'Let us all boycott and ignore drgrudge'

this is how we do it

These are the threads started by drgrudge.

If you have posted in it - delete it and write 'Remove drgrudge as the Moderator' as your reason for deleting it

Once you have deleted your posts from the thread add drgrudge to your ignore list

Not only must he be stripped of his Mod privilages, he must also tender a public written apology to @eggman for abusing his power to suit his own will. it could be done by starting a new thread and mking it sticky for a week an maybe locking it. till these demands are met let us all keep drgrudge in our ignore list

firstly he was wrong in banning him for petty name calling in the chit-chat section.
What is even more wrong is that he himself chose to ban him for calling him names. If he so stronlgy felt, then he must have referred the matter to another Mod for him to take a decsion.

If iMav calls praka names, can praka ban him? if arayayush calls gx_saurav names, can gx_saurav ban him.

if you so itching to fight then come down to the same level playing field as everyone else - why hide behind the protective cocoon of Mod previlages

It is an act of extreme cowardice of which you - drgrudge are the finest example of. An example of boorish cowardice that IMO can not be bettered by anybody for atleast the next 98 years at least.

I'm 100% with slugger (not surprising, is it?)

lets boycott tha guy........gaurav_indian bhi chala gaya usi ke wajah se

@slugger: chill yaar :lol:

grudgy is still 1 of us

and just to let you know, as i have said before the forum activity stats give the admins the liberty to ignore such topics/posts, members are not of that high value to the admins because acc. to them members come and go, so they aren't much bothered

for the admins & certain mods/members, our little OS wars are more damaging to the forums than bad administration

By the way , Its hard thing to find our post and delete them in all his threads...

eggman said:

click on all threads started by drgrudge from his profile

any of his thread where you had posted and not unsubscribed will be marked in green

click on the thread...when the page opens....top right search link...click on it....go to advanced....page opens....in the relevant section type in your username

the result page wil show all your post made in that thread....open each and delete them

@iMav

well thats just my action/suggestion...the decision to follow it rests with the members themselves

This is funny :))

Thnxx slugger, I did it already

mee too deleted all my posts in threads started by drgrudge [dont think i had unsubscribed any]

now trying to find a way to add him to my ign0re list

slugger said:

i know that but still I am not a big fan of such actions, I'd hate to see grudgy leaving the forums, what's happening is taking things a little too far IMHO, no matter what you do, the admins will still give a damn

He's not to leave the forum, I want drgrudge as it is minus his mod power.....then I will see who has how many grudge

@eggman:welcome aboard...i suggest u to PM him and ask him to justify his action here...seems like somehow he is pretending that this thread doesn't exist..

He is preparing for an answer and then he will tell "whoa...i didn't knew that these comments were made against me blah blah blah..."

well it seems that you can hate them [not really] but you can not ignore them

Sorry drgrudge is a moderator/admin and you are not allowed to ignore him or her.

@iMav

one thing that I can be sure of - under no circumstances will ever drgrudge leave the forum

he is the Mod here for close to 2 yrs now [i think]- he gets to play GOD - power is the greatest aphrodisiac

any other forum, he will have to start from right at the bottom [0 posts] and it will be years before he gets noticed for Mod duties, if at all.

what he did was absolutely immoral not to mention wrong - if the authorites choose to ignore it then whats the harm in practising our own brand of Code Red

eggman said:

Thnxx slugger, I did it already

Hell, dat's frm d tym wen I used my other profile!!! :lol:

Still remember most of da members frm dat tym!

guys, grudgy is not the whole problem, it's like getting charu sharma fired for a team led by a ch*t (captain: rahul dravid), gx was banned by mehul under similar circumstances, other members have been banned, so going after grudgy won't put an end to this

I won't talk much here:

Do you all remember the thread "Do you get pissed off at other's ignorance?". People called me by much crappier adjectives and what not totally false accusations. When I complained to drgrudge and requested him to 'close' that thread, he said that 'You should have been more carfeul' and then also replied that 'the thread did not merit to be closed'.

Now that a similar incident has occurred with you, which is far less severe than what occurred with me, you took it to 'banning' because you had the power to ban. How could you do this?

@All others who want to tell me that 'mods are humans too and I should be considerate towards them', even I am a human, have my identity and dignity, even if I have no power to ban any member.

@all

Did you all ever bother to find out why DrGrudge was behaving like that??

Har koi kisi aur ka gussa kisi aur pe nikalta hai........shayad DrGrdudge ne bhi yehi kiya.....

May be he was angry on some1 else or not in a good mood and bursted on you eggman.....

Eggman, kya tune bhi kabhi kisi aur ka gussa kisi aur pe nikala hai??......May be yes or may be no........but it is a normal human behaviour

As far I've seen his previous posts, he is a polite person......

And you must also not forget that he has done a lot for moderating the forum...

I agree that DrGrudge didn't behave in a positive manner but may be, he was way too sensitive for that......

But degrading his MOD status is too much....We must not forget that he has been moderating this forum very well since the past few years....We can also ban him for sometime but not degrade his mod status.....

That only adds to the quality of his modding. This thread is supposed to be seen regularly by mods and admin, and if he somehow pretends that this thread doesn't exist then.....he has to be a ($^#%#^^&

I must point out that there is a thread The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Inc which is ridiculously filled with off topic posts by the members and its in Q&A. where as ** Post all your BSNL Dataone Related Queries Here ** is completely filled with technical related queries and almost no offtopic posts, but its in chit chat.

But degrading his MOD status is too much....We must not forget that he has been moderating this forum very well since the past few years....We can also ban him for sometime but not degrade his mod status.....

Well it's time that he retires from the mod service after doing(?) good mod service from years...

OMG....21 members onboard this thread... :shock:

the apple thread should be where it is, the discussion is for another time.

@slugger: dude, c'mon man relax, an eye for an eye will make the world blind, we can get this sorted out amicably.

i have had my run-ins with the mods here too, but things were sorted out.

It's not the mods who should be the targets they are just pawns, go after the admins

drgrudge is not an ordinary member.....he has been given Mod previlages...meaning he can ban, delete or pretty much play narayan [not a full God]

if he was having a bad day [got dumped by GF for his brother...maybe] he should have stayed out of any situations where he might be tempted to went out his anger/frustration

And one more thing recently someone created "Legality of MAC OS "
and our great mod drgrudge replied like this

Disclaimer: I didn't read what was posted.

To hell with the Indian IT laws. You don't own this forum. If you want to be part of the community, you need to abide by the god damn rules we set here.

Installing OS X in any other thing than a Mac or an iPhone is illegal. No discussions will be permitted. People who manage to install (like iMav) will not be supported (atleast via threads/posts in this forum).

Hope I'm clear on what I wanted to communicate.

mujhe pata hai ki tu uska gussa ussi par nikaal raha hai magar kabhi na kabhi toh kisi aur ka gussa kisi aur pe nikaala hoga.......??

chalo thike.....if you want DrGrudge's mod status to be taken from him, then your wish......I'm off from here...

And yes, I had myself not liked the banning of eggman but iska matlab ye nahi hai ki agar koi aur tumhare saath bura karega toh tum bhi uske saath utna hi bura karoge......ye aaj kal ki philosophy hai....

If some1 will hit you once, you'll hit him twice......Everyone here believes in this at the moment....

Usko aaraam se bhi samjhaya jaa sakta hai ki ye usne achcha nahi kiya.....I had actually meant this.....Just tell him peacefully that what he did was in a bad taste......And see, he'll apologise to you himself......

Read the we as I for better understanding....

that is exactly what I am trying to say.

you in raaabo land, it's been 2 days, did even a single admin reply, did any other mod other than hitboxx bother to reply, no!

there is only 1 way this going to end:

admins & mods ignore the thread (what is happening now) pissed off members leave the forums, grudgy stays mod, the forum moves on.

trust me guys what u r doing will get nothing, the admins give a fcuk about the members, they know for a fact that no matter what the forum will move on

the other option is that grudgy chooses to give up his mod status, i don't see that happening.

imav, maybe you are right, officially this may achive nothing. But atleast the great deeds of drgudge is public now and we know how to treat him future onwards. But I'm an optimist and I'm sure our whining will bring some result....

gagandeep said:

I doubt that , take in note that techx is a newbie...

Things you said happens in books, not in real life

Oh man! Digit is hot.

Anyway, what DrGrudge did is absolutely wrong and he should be stripped of his mod status and should be banned for 30 days. Worse, we should launch an FIR against him and take him to court.

In my view, this forum has started going down and if things like what drgrudge did is not stopped it will be but an history. I remember one particular case. As you all know, our great genius (cough) Arya posts anything and everything about Steve Jobs, Apple and Mac in this forum and he creates a post everytime Steve Jobs gets a cold. Once I, and a few others objected to this and asked to create only a single thread for all such things. Then our doc replied and said that Arya is not doing anything wrong. But he would not be saying the same thing to others. Why, because he is a great Apple fan himself. Not that I cared much, I only pitied him.

Well, if someone decides to ban me for writing this, I will register again (and again and again and again...) and till you get tired or call me up in person.

That's all for now. DrGrudge sucks!!!

@grudgy: send a peace pm to eggy please

@eggy: if u do get that pm, don't disclose the contents just let us know

end it guys, please

Its easy to ask to forget and move on, but how do I forget the insult and humiliation I had to bear? Only I know how helpless and frustrated I felt when he refused to interfere that day saying 'the thread did not merit to be closed'. And now the same thin happened with him and he resolved to misuse of power? How is it justified even if he has done good work.

I thought of forgetting this issue but now that he has been exposed, I think this is the best time to make him feel how I felt when he refused to interfere on a much larger issue. Aaj use samjhega kaise lagta hai. Mod hua toh kya hua? Hum kya usse muft ki roti maang rahe ki woh jo man mein aaye woh karega?

But it has to end sumtym!!

DrGrudge is Coward.

One other thing, a lot of ppl here might have noticed that the doc lately started a few threads offering money for doing things like suggesting a domain name or creating banners etc etc. Now I have never seen anyone (ab)using the forum for his personal benefit. A forum is meant for a community and all things should be voluntary. Where is Paypal coming here!

I have also seen enough of this and I say its now or never. Let's save digit forum for our own good. Let's take action againt DrGrudge.

I wonder if the pathetic moderation/administration scenario has something to do with the change of Digit ownership from JDM to 9Dot9.

iMav said:

No, I don't think so. I'd joined this forum a long time ago, my ID used to be Kl@w-24. Back then, there were hardly any mods but the forum used to run quite smoothly. Raaabo was also quite active and the members would often get to interact with the magazine team like meera and a few others (their title used to be 'Team Digit'). A lot has changed since then. My older profile has been ****ed up for some reason, I don't know why. Maybe too much inactivity... And now we have mods running riot :lol:

where is that guy anyway..at least the mods should come up and say something..theres a riot running here and the only time the admins really come online is to show off the crappy digit stuff,which in the BB age noone even cares to look through in a bookstore...

F

One other thing, a lot of ppl here might have noticed that the doc lately started a few threads offering money for doing things like suggesting a domain name or creating banners etc etc. Now I have never seen anyone (ab)using the forum for his personal benefit. A forum is meant for a community and all things should be voluntary. Where is Paypal coming here!

No offense meant but I thought that was kind of a nice gesture. At least he did offered to reimburse you or whoever did the work with a prize with whatever he could offer. I fail to see how hes taking advantage of anyone. You are free to take part or not take part in the thread. Quite alot of forums usually run similar contests , I doubt its something that goes against the rules of the forum .

Anyway I don't see where anyone is going with all this. If Drgrudge feels he needs to explain his actions he will. Repeating it over and over like a scrathed record won't help anyone . Has anyone actually thought of contacting the actual mod or admins and wait for their reply? Let them sort it out . How does "name calling" or resorting to lower tactics make you different from anyone you are accusing.

Offtopic:

Its easy to ask to forget and move on, but how do I forget the insult and humiliation I had to bear?

If you still have a problem with that thread which I believe I was one of the posters then be free to PM me. Otherwise taking a post on a forum which barely has any worthwhile content (Look up posts from ages especially the time 2004 and compare it with the garbage on this forum now) seriously is kind of silly in itself.

Hoping to change the discussion, I have the following complaint:

1. The BSNL Questions thread is in chit chat, but it must be actually in QnA.

2. The Apple thread is full of useless chit chat and is often used as a place to hang out instead of solving real problems. Its better off in chit chat as it would justify the contents of the thread.

3. Again about the apple thread, it has lots of "illegal" stuff about unlocking iPhones. Also, its sometimes partially advertising in certain posts. It also contains indiscriminate bashing of non apple products, while we all know the OSS forum carries in its hedder that it should not be used for flame wars and OS fights. So I request that the mac thread also be put under the same juridiction. Either lock the thread, as you do (rather insensitively) for other threads and start a new one, or clean it up and set it right.

PS: this is not another anti grudge issue. Its just that the thread is not going in the right track.

I told exactly about this in page 2.

^Ah, but i started the rants here, with a post against the apple thread

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=800628&postcount=3

@drgrudge should leave MOD post by self.

@drgrudge has not done such thing for the first time.......... there are many example of drgrudge bad works. And that is why 90% members want to remove drgrudge as MOD of the forum.

Look at this, He started a thread:
Design a Banner Image for my Blog and Win Upto $10/Rs 400!

Than after few members gave some samples, and he replied this:

drgrudge said:
Nice try. As I said I'll be using the Neoclassical theme which needs no header. Just images is sufficient.

Thanks for your time.

If I buy the Thesis Theme, then I'll start another contest to design a banner.

And big thing is that he is still using a WP theme that need a header. Look at his site: *www.cskfanclub.com/

Tell me , what if it was done by any simple member.

He must pay to anyone, even if he is not using that header.

And there are many like such.

@hit..

i applaud u dude for coming here..atleast one gives a tuppenny...

reagrding to ur posts...

1. Agreed.
2. Partially only cos wat u said or pointed out is especialy a rare case...i of all agree that indecent language should not be entertained..even when i just stpped over the line in a perfect cause...

....u banned me an dyeas u did lifted it in minutes...but the one deserves no warning or whatsoever...thats not abusing..its indecent exposure or something..deserves smacking on spot
3. the absurdest thing u ever said.....yeas..u discuss with mods..ok..mods are users..we dont belive that they have no grudge against anyone..see this case of mod tht we are talking abt...we are filling pages and we see him strolling around freely...and we feel like couple o' ass..u know that r8???...

4.Ok .good..

@hitb... with power do comes responsiblity my freind. if u cannot handle the pressure ..all i can say is quit...if u cant quit then stick to the job...and i am not talking abt u...u know that..u showed that atleast we are not asses...

just want to say to every mods, the power that they have got is not for

1. having special deeds and parties...
2 not for having a different home page than other..the one with all the options
3. not for banning anyone they want...that they feel like
4. and it absolutely doesnt make u better than any of us..
5. You are a USER with special priviliges...none of us are scared of u all at all

coz u know why all.. ALL a mod can do ATMOST is ban..thats it...end of a forum will never mean end of ife..ther are over a billion ppl in india..only abt 40,000 are members here...do the math....

Take it in a way a proper mod should do..how a leader would do...

Is drgrudge strictly veg ,is it???

funny thread funny people

I'm gonna give him the constipation of his life

Woah ! i was gone for a week, when i come what i see ? a crusade against a mod ! well anyway not taking sides since i wasn't here when the time was right for this but if justice won't be severed this time , this incidents will happen more & more so i hope this gets sorted out, at least once members of this forum should feel that they have right to protest against something wrong, this i think will be a wakeup call for many people on the forum from fear to say what is right & what's not, so there, For Great Jutice.

eggman said:

I think you have made your point VERY clearly in the 5-6 pages of this thread. Now it would be better to wait for the concerned MOD/Admins to post on this issue. I am a 100% positive that this would already have been noticed by them. Just using this thread as a ground to hurl insults at other people wont do any good to anyone, and it wont help you get your answers/clarifications either. I suggest people continue with the topic of the thread. If the series of insults that I'm witnessing continue, I'm afraid i might have to lock this thread and/or take action against the offending members.

This is a warning to all people who posted here.

eggman got banned for 2 days and such a big fuss was created. :lol:

My entire ID was deleted when I made this post and that too by none other than Raaabo himself (his reply). Wonder what I should've done. A member who was on the forum for around two years with around 1.6k posts and who was a reputed member when the reputation system was active. His account gets deleted with no warning whatsoever. That post was just meant to be sarcastic. No way did it break any rules. Still my account was deleted. What can I say? This forum is run by dictators.

Done what exactly? What Andaa-man did? I didn't see anything productive coming out of it. He just added more pages in this thread. Even in my wildest dreams I don't see drgrudge apologizing to him.

iMav said:

Yup. Actually I don't even see the point of this thread. People just come here and whine and that's it. Even if mods and admins do read this thread, they don't put into action the suggestions we make. Whatever requests/suggestions people make here are ignored anyway. Its better to close this thread.

^^^absolutely..now drgrudge is whining away at the chit chat section recommending books to peaple...finall he decided to come out of hgis invisible self..but no..he wont post here...

now drgrudge is whining away at the chit chat section recommending books to peaple

Seriously, why do you seem all adamant to hear from him? Hes not taking the flamebait which is what the wise would do. Why? Because of the reason iMav has explained already. Hes posting the name of books in a thread which was meant for it. Why do you consider that as whining? As kalpik said already I think everyone gets the point by now and the admins have probably seen this already so can't you at least show the courtesy of waiting for them to respond.

Oh, I am soooo scared. Please don't ban me. I have lost my sleep with fear. I don't know how I will live if you ban me. Maybe I will die of heart attack.

Jokes apart, please don't try to scare people saying they will be banned. Because people don't give a damn whether you ban him or stop him. As someone said before, India is a country of billion people and only 40K are forum members. So...

Well, I am in my worst mood this time. I don't know about eggman, but I will make sure DrGrudge puts a reply here.

And who cares about Raabo. Digit sucks bigtime these days. Even Chip has gone ahead of Digit.

I miss the good old JDM days.

He must have replied in this thread...
Well i think he is afraid to do so....Other mods are replying to this thread but he the main accused is absconding from this thread...
It's been nearly 2 days but no result...

LET ME MAKE IT VERY CLEAR AT LEAST FROM MY SIDE!!!!IF ANOTHER PERSON GETS BANNED OWING TO THIS CONTEXT..I WILL NEVER POST IN THIS FORUM AGAIN AND I REQUEST OTHER MEMBERS TO FOLLOW SUIT!!!!

the mods are here to only warn and ban peaple..when we ask for an explation they take a month to give a reply..but when it comes to banning peaple they cant even give a 24 hour period..ban me if you want..i dont care..let me see how you carry on without the mebers...enough of beaurycracy and dictatorship..we want an honest solution to all this

my gprs speeds are too low these days or esle i would hav also done the same thing :sad:

BUT YEAH let boycott drgrudgy! my god this is even gettin intersting than shalu's case!

As far as setting an example the mod probably fails at it. As far as you are going with correcting it then let me quote the phrase" Two wrongs don't make a right" . Neither does being childish about it. All I hear is a bunch of lines that wouldn't do better than my little nephews or nieces cookie jar lines.

the next admin for sure..

No offense meant but I think I would do a more better job at it than some.

@kalpik....

Your behaviour is totally unwanted and irresponsible...you shouldnt be just picking ppl wat bad they say..you should listen to what we say first...then say ban or banned or whatever...none cares...

but u being a mod just coming out here for black mail..its too low of a behaviour from a mod..and u said its not making ur life easy and then so so...
have u thght we too have life..some gt class..work and all...do u hv any idea how many ppl are staying away from this...
dont take this in a bad way..but they are being mature dear frnd..just they know its no use...and they dont care...

Please show us an example of being articulate by doing it urself frnd..not by blackmail...banned from digit is NOT EOL....

i didnt expect this kinda act from you seriously..i was one who suported u...i only approve few mod..u were one of them..no i am feeling stupid...

Dictatorship again. When you get irritated, you ban people. When we get irritated, we just act as nothing had happened, right?

Well if I have irritated you, then you are hereby cordially welcomed to ban me from this ill-mannered forum where there is no rule on earth. But know this. I will register again and again and again just to show that you cannot do anything other than *only* banning people.

I am heading to pagalguy. At least the forum founder has some time to reply there.

No, never. I have never and never ever will ban someone without reason or warning.

at least kalpik is here...and answering to us..what we all need is a sorry from drgrudge and be over with it..but the man with such a huge ego wont even reply here..i respect peaple who own up to their mistakes and thereby not only put thmeselves in a better light but the institution as a whole..

we are all humans..and mistakes do happen..not owning up to a mistake is a graver crime IMO...at least if he apologizes we may think through his explanations and he can move ahead with his mod duties..

realy dissapointing..in my 3 years of forum-ing never have i come across such a sad incident...

I don't report posts unless they are spam or porno ads which come in the Programming section for some odd reason. Maybe once in a while I do report things that are illegal though

Addressing the problem at hand is not up to the moderators. Why don't you people understand that? Contact the admins if you have any issues with any staff member of the forum

@ all posters...

kalpik said it with his own hand......

this aint worth it ppl..move on.....things suck now...will suck again....

iMav said:

+1.

Digit's standard has become pathetic in recent times. 9Dot9 has only worsened it. I remember the days when I used all my pocket money to buy a Digit copy. Now I dont even read it for more than 10 minutes.

With so much choices to readers now, digit has become but only a nostalgia. And this forum will follow suit.

@kalpik no offense but i did contact raaabo regarding another incident, some thinkdigit member 1 copy-pasted my complete article on his site, i contacted raaabo for his mail id, he did not reply, any guesses for who did - drgrudge, i contacted him and he did but our worthy admins didnt even bother

@imav...

thats just pathetic man... LOL....

I also tried to contact Raaabo and the site admins regarding my previous account, but got no reply. Then I contacted 2-3 mods, and Hitboxx was the only one to bother.

^^ I got your PM and was going to reply, but i was at work and something came up so forgot about it

Actually, I tried to bring back and present your issues along with some modifications once again. I added or removed some stuff, made it innocent looking instead of blantly accusing, etc

@Kalpik:

I am fully on your side. The problem is that since drgrudge is failing to reply and you are trying to keep things smooth here when people are already hot and pissed off, they are targeting you instead of drgrudge till he comes here. Its common crowd behaviour which you must have noticed when stuff like accidents take place. If the person who caused it is not found, any authority who have responcibilities in this field is blamed and thrown stones at. Please try to ignore all this BS and concentrate on more important stuff for the time being, as there is little effect your actions may have ATM.

@kalpik...

see i told u.... and i support G's response

why do u think other mods or admins aren't replying they know that they will quoted and ripped apart by all members who are frequenting this thread

don't call drgrudge names. Why don't you PM him or something ? The guy is still human, and (i) either he has exessive self respect to come here and reply or (ii) he is wry of facing all of you or (iii) he conciders this issue unimportant.

And Admins don't care because they have got their jobs to take care of. If they come here all the time, who will take care of the magazine ?

Since the forum is going out of control, I have a proposal to the admin(s). Me and some of the forum members have decided to take over Digit forum by purchasing this forum. There is nothing like it if we get it for free..

.

So, I request the admin(s) to PM me your asking price. I'm sure we can come up with a good deal for greater good.

Thats good news...

How about making me a partner..

I think they will never sell it, as it is not a personal forum rather a 9dot9 property. But things really need to change. They need to spend some time on forum management.

^eh?you got seriouS?

AFAIK,

The forum is the is the property of Raaabo. He has paid from his pocket for the vBulletin license. But since the forum uses the same logo as Digit, he may not be the sole owner of the forum.

If at all, Raaabo decides to sell this forum, he may need to pay some royalty or licensing fees, which may be very high.

And cmon, the forum is not SO mismanaged to take things to this extent. Its a just a issue with one of the mods. It will be solved soon I hope.

and btw why is drgrudge showing up?

Well since it is clear that drgrudge is giving us the silent treatment let us give him the silent treatment back.

Do not respond to any posts he makes

if he says

The book's still not yet released...BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!!

, in order to show that he does not exist for you, just quote the person who had posted just before him and make your own post, even if your own post is not really a response to that post you quoted

by doing so you are telling that your post is being made immediately after the post of the person you quoted and drgrudge is drnonexistent
i have done something similar
*thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=824125&postcount=93

if he asks

When are you going? Go early and report here. I don't want to waste my time...

, dont tell him when you are going.....go whenever you want and don't report it...let him waste his time

if he asks

Is Chetan's book available on stands? How must is it priced?

dont tell him if Chetan's book is available on stands or not....dont even tell him the price

you could also do the same with the Thinkdigit Interact section....if you feel that Thinkdigit does not listen to you then dont bother posting there.

I suggest delete all your posts from the Interact sections

Well you can not ban anybody from not posting, can you?

I have deleted all my posts from the Interact section

And whats the point of wasting time complaining here in this thread.

I suggest you all add a message in your digital signature that says you are fed up of drgrudge's style of tyrannical, autocratic, unjust, immoral mod behaviour.

Let him see it every thread he opens, up-down everywhere he sees he must see a message that says how displeased we are with his Mod style and we want him to apologise to eggman

Eggman seems to have a short and sweet slogan in his signature - the choice of URL is yours

^^ I would have been with you if it were some other mod, but grudgy has helped me a lot so personally I won't be participating

^^ I would have been with you if it were some other mod, but grudgy has helped me a lot so personally I won't be participating

Out of curiosity, shouldn't new mods be given more slack since they are new at the job rather than nitpicking at every mistake they make? As for the boycott, don't you in some way feel that you are taking this bandwagon a bit too far?

iMav said:

here here.
I wouldn't do it against ANY mod, and grudgy also falls in the list.
besides... he has helped me a lot, esp with regard to torrents

a much better way would be to let this topic die, forget the past, and take up the issue if and only if such an action is repeated.

Did I miss something or two ?

OK. This is my first post in this thread.

I read whole thread and seriously guys, I think you are going too far now. Grudgy is not replying in this thread and you guys are saying he is coward. Why don't you take it other way? Why don't you take his silence as a good thing? May be he is realizing his mistake? Thats why he is not replying here?

I think you should also keep silent and leave this topic now. I hope you'll not face this condition again. If you read this thread again, you'll see how much insult and harsh comments lots of ppl have posted against him and he must be realizing now that you guys don't like his way of modding.

But thats ok. Give him another chance. If he repeats the thing which you guys didnt like, then do whatever you want but for GOD sake leave this discussion now.

When this forum was down I thought that it'll really help you guys in forgetting these unforgettable things but it didnt happen.

I request you all that pls stop it now and give grudgy another chance. Afterall he is also a member of this forum and we all make mistake.

I sincerely hope that members accept your plea

what's happening here

^^wat do u think ?

leave the matter or pull it more ?

More than 4 to 5 pages of stinging comments and posts is more than what grudgy deserves.. Like some sensible posts above have explained, it is time to stop this issue now. Forgive and forget guys..!
@slugger: I wouldn't do that to anyone.. mod or simple member..!!

You guys were wrong about digit admins, they are very smart, the reason why they didn't reply was because they knew some member will make the issue die down, if they had posted here, some major thing would have happen , but both drgude & admins played smart by ignoring (i.e. not replying) & the issue is almost over, i am very happy that i am member of a forum that has smart admins & mods as this much, they know what do in every situation.

@anybody/ everybody

how many of you were told

.....I will put you in temporary ban

with a smiley at the end

does it make drgrudge any less of a human being if he just sends a pm to @eggman admitting he screwed up....dont make it public

just a small pm that says

Hi,
I realise I screwed up the other day. I shouldnt have put you in shameful misery. I made a mistake and promise not to do so again. I hope we can go back to being cordial forum members again.

Peace
fakedoctor

see, i even drafted the pm for you and it does not even contain the letters S-O-R-R-Y all u got 2 do is copy-paste it

whereas you guy are showing extreme magnanimity by forgving the dr*, thinkin he is sufferrin in silence, he is probably laffing his guts out thinkin

what a bunch of despos......my presence on the forum is such a comfortin factor for all forum members; i provide them such sense of fmiliarity that i may commit a murder or indulge in some carnal crimes and they will continue mollycoddling me

bhai log ab bas bhi karo! ye sala eggman bahut maza loot raha hai! mere ko bolta hai ki tu bhi drgrugdy ki phard. subah se msg kar raha hai ki thinkdigit wapas aaya ki nahi!!!!!!!! :mrgreen:

Why cant i see avatars after the vbulletin updgrade???
I hope this qualifies to b a complaint !!

^^^tune to ande to phodh di

huh..what is this supp to mean??
On a serious note I am unware wth all tht has been posted bfore!

^^crap.....

the avatars are not shwing up....

u can't there is only 1 theme, like it or leave it

its difficult to apply mods for different themes. Thats why they might have preferred to single static theme.

Sure we understand. And soon you will understand that Digit will soon be referring to a character between 0-9 and nothing else. Then you will be a mod screaming (and screaming and screaming).* at people who will only be laughing (and laughing and laughing).* at you.

Everybody (except the mods and admins) knows that Digit forum is a crap and most poorly managed. All the mods do is to ban people here. Believe me this forum used to be a much better place before you-know-who took over from JDM.

If you have some time to listen, I have an advice for you. Don't make yourself a matter of joke.

If this offends somemod/someadmin/somepolitician, then as I already said, YOU (read mod) are cordially invited to ban me. (If I want, I will register again, and if you want you will ban me again.).*

By the way, the * here are put intentionally.

problem is gone

This forum looks disgusting. First they put on a hideous red theme. Then they put ads in it left, right and centre (as if they weren't earning enough from the magazine already that they felt the need to put ads on the forum too). And then it's the stupid ***. What's wrong with these people?! What have they done to my beloved forum? I hate this place now.

^^And you are not the only one.

This has offended me personally, and i am tempted to ban you (and i can very well play the you-register-i-ban game with you), but im not banning you. You are just not worth the effort.

If you are not happy with the management of the forum, you are more than welcome to leave, but please spare us the B.S.

We know we have a problem at hand (with the theme and all), and we have already raised the issue with the admins in the MOD section, if only you could have the courtesy and patience to WAIT.

I think I'm the only one who liked this theme.....

But on the contrary, I liked the forum mainly due to its independence from the site........Now this is ruined.......

gagandeep said:

+1

the absence of the menu bar on top like that on the site made the forum look like a protected space...seperated from the rest of the world [yeah right!!!] where we could hang out in peace

their effort to bring uniformity has resulted in the forum losing its close knit feeling it had earlier

A

This is the worst theme and we have no option to bear this ridiculous theme
and they have left large space at the right to get large adsense ads displayed...
Digit mark my words:
No one is going to click the ads and u won't earn anything

slugger said:

lol.....

Just remove the ads.
I have no grudges with the theme, after all I would just like to read & reply to the threads.

now,no offense,but this is called "bloody forum"'

:

but,really -there are many forums which are running i safemod(without themes,cool features etc) after upgradting to vb 3.7.0

an eg is broadbandforum.in .now check ubuntuforums.org how they manages with latest VB!

Cool G5 said:

simple adsense text ads....y do u guys have a problem with that

.....and n e way u cud always block it out....which i had done long time ago

-------
EDIT

i take back my word

looks like the hideous what band on the right is in fact even more hideous with Graphic Ads in them

just saw them in IE.....i lead a very protectd life with FF and Opera, which did not even show these Ads...even after the forum upgrade

This theme is so bad & ugly, that Arya will surely leave Digit forum because the UI is no longer good

Hmmmm
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/group.php?groupid=18

the admins are so damn efficient over here

acc to me there are 2possibilities:

1. they are experimenting for their next cover story - What not to do when you have a forum

2. the member load and activity can't be handled by the admins (not talking about mods, they have nthing to do with this catastrophic rubbish thinkdigit is in) so inorder to reduce the load they decided to make an absolutely hideous & ugly theme to drive off some members

and as far as the ads are concerned, i think 9point9 is fulfilling the 0.1 deficit

The top menu bar is not displayed properly in Opera.

****ing ugly.kirsch is the best themeif you wanna change the theme do give the readers to revert back to the original theme.

And yea,I have no objection against ads but I guess some common-sense is what you need.

Exactly. Keep this new theme as default but also make other themes available for members. "Kirsch" theme was the best theme.

please change the theme . . . for the love of god , it looks so ugly

I am pretty sure nothing is gonna happen, these admins are pretty much like the ambani's don't give a fcuk about the users/customers only bothered about the investors.

i hate the new look of this forum!

Hate this new look down to the core.It's been coming up with a gazillion ads already & add to that the * symbol bug is just too frustrating.Why can't we keep it simple? Take an example of the TE forums.They have an excellent & simple layout & the best thing about it are the uber-cool smileys.I am a big smiley freak so that matters a lot.Hate these dated smileys.Come on guys fix it already.Revert to the original theme if you want but this one is just pathetic.

PLEASE ADMINS..........change it back..atleas give us the option to do it.....

What? You mean you get those nasty pop-up ads? I think you must be infected by some nasty spyware because I don't get any pop-up ads.

Anyone else getting pop-ups?

^Not as in actually popping up in another window.It's coming up on the right hand side & occupies a lot of space.The initial ads are by google & the image below is randomly generated.Sometimes it is a game image,sometime a bald man with some other message & then this time came when I got this hot looking bikini girl.Though I enjoyed the sight but the unfortuante thing was I was not at my home but this was my work place.This is really going to be trouble for me as the IT team can barge in on my butt if they trace this out.

hey allwyndlima..
i have an solution for u

disable the java script in the browser
U can do it by changing the preference or options..

Some sites may not display correctly..but u can revert back to normal state anytime

^Will try that thanks.One question though,will it disable all images from being loaded?

^^Nope it will not

If you use Opera you could just use the custom css in one of the threads and it should fix the problem.

My Kind request:
lets give him a chance, make BAN of shorter interval.

WELL

I agree that prakash has been a loud mouthed foul being in most microsoft related threads, and keeps giving links of different linux sites randomly in his posts, along with spellings that are anything but right when it comes to microsoft products. And after repeated warnings, he keeps repeating his actions, again and again.

BUT

Prakash is also a senior member of this forum. He has been the reason why many people, including me, are confortable with using linux. He has helped many. For this, he deserves some amount of respect.

SO

Try to do something that bans him from particular areas where he can cause harm, like for example you can try to use a filter or something (if vbulletin supports it) to prevent him from making replies in threads with MS content, or just BAN him from TECH NEWS and OTHER NEWS sections, where he causes maximum harm. There is NO way we can just use him and later throw him.

Please revoke your decision to ban Praka permanently

praka is just a scapegoat,poor fella....he is the first and usually the only one banned.

Keep up the good work praka,we all lub you.

(no gay replies please)

No thinks, you already did it.

slugger said:

Oh yes Unban Praka. OS section need him :-x

I won't go into Praka123's anti-Microsoft stance or behaviour, that's for the Mods/Admins to decide; I guess they have to take into consideration everyone's sensibilities and can't be seen to be making an exception, hence the ban.

I stopped Microsoft bashing for some time now and devote more time to trying to make Linux more accessible by writing tutorials and helping out when I can. These are far more productive things to do.

However, I would not want anyone, and I repeat anyone to have a permanent ban unless they did something really bad like pr0n, spam [enlarge

], advertising, etc.

I rest my case

Very nicely put Gautam. As you already agree that he can mean harm (as we have seen lately with his proxy ids) picture this : You've already stated Prakash is a senior member : that brings a lot of expectations from new members (and old members) that you'll behave and show some responsibility.

We tried our subtle best to make him understand this but he'll never listen. Long time ago when he was called prakash_kerala, he was banned (and mind you it wasnt because of anti Microsoft stance but being a real youknowwhat ) .. Anyway he promised to behave and was unbanned .. Earlier in June he was banned and the same thing happened (he promised to behave and whoever unbanned him did credit him for his seniority and his contributions ). Now he is banned again : And not because of his anti MS stand but calling fellow members as faggots. Tell me how many times do we need to tell this guy to behave ? Cant he understand whatever discussion he wants to have can be done in a polite manner too ..?? But no .. This guy wont listen at all ..

Man I myself dont approve of Microsoft but how many times you've seen me calling Micro$haft or calling fellow members as faggots ..?? Your language plays a big role for someone to form opinion about you and we cant tolerate such language in this forum especially from a senior member.

Any info when Praka will be Unbanned ???

Is that a permanent ban?

Well he should be unbanned now. All the members are requesting you guys to give him one more chance. OSS section needs him!

I don't think he will come back !

If he is unbanned, we can request him to come back.

He is permanently banned.

Did he cause anything serious for a permanent ban?

Why? People here freely use the words moro**, fa***ts but they never get banned. People use words freely what T159 used, but they never got banned only T159 was banned. Search for the word what T159 used & you'll see who else posted it. Was T159 targeted because he supported praka123?

Members have been requesting to give praka123 one more chance but no one listens. I won't be surprised if I get banned or targetted because of this post.

@ all mods

Mods here are dictators. Tell me do Raboo force you to do so? Really pathetic.

We are requesting to unban Praka and restrict him to OSS only. I know I'll get the same copy/pasted answer/threat " We warned him --- blah blah -----" .

Listen to what all are saying

H

It's not just about the words, but his attitude towards others and especially all things non-FOSS. Who would in their right mind say things like "you should die, go commit suicide...etc" on a forum and expect to be tolerated about it. Yes those are his exact words and not my imagination (don't read my location). Apparently the mister has never learned the concept of co-existence, even after repeated warnings and bans and always stood as an example of his extreme hate.

I too love FOSS and would kill for Linux, but you don't see me pointing a gun at you for not using it, do you? As much as he loves it, his hate for all other things just subsides it and results in posts like that. For all those he has helped tremendously, just consider yourself lucky he was there to help you when you needed it the most. Last I know, he is happy in some forum now and I wish him the best.

For the people who are expecting anything(revolution?) to happen with their sigs, read me loud " He will never be unbanned by any mod ". Of course, he can start clean with a new id ( I hope he doesn't do with the old behaviour ), but praka123 is off the forum. That's all I have to say about it.

I too wonder the same. Perhaps those who don't get banned are 'friends' of moderators.

Leave it guyz, don't bother these so called moderators. Don't expect them to be fair enough. They WILL do what they feel like, not what should actually be done.

Don't waste your time convincing them, instead find a new place devoid of these 'moderators'.

Look, exactly as expected.

FYI I cam back because I was missing the tech talk and some contacts here. But I don't think things have changed much here. Same moderators and same crap!

Have less to bother whos the mod here and what he does! Happy without you and your moderation, but had to come back for some friends.

Sure I can see you found a lot of tech talk in this thread. But the thing is, for all the crap that goes around, you can ignore us, but we can't ignore you, sorry. That's how it goes.

@rohan
yeah, i don't see u much here now. May be moderation sucks and its the imminent proof that we got thread like this and the one in chit-chat section.

hmm this looks like a big cumulative whining but seriously i also feel that praka should be unbanned and selectively restricted to only Open Source section...I guess too much of instigation might have provoked his ugly side..(people often neglect this fact)...

He tries to mend his way only to get entangled in another controversy involving Microsoft..so i seriously feel he should be given a last chance..

Why wuld anybody be banned for bumping up threads without spamming it

You people left no stone unturned to ban every new ID he created.

There has been much discussion and unrest among members regarding Praka123's ban, some members do not take a minute out to think and analyze the situation before they start abusing the Mods, you say, "Give him another chance", well that has been done and not once, but many-many times before, he has made innumerable promises to behave, in exchange for an unban before, but none kept.

Even for a senior member, a line has to be drawn somewhere, there comes a point when trouble to the community outweighs the contribution. I guess you all will agree to that. All we are asking you is to trust our decision on the fact that the line has been crossed. Most of you making the comments here have not seen all of it, abusive posts/threads get deleted, the contributions remain, making you believe he's much of an help, indeed he is, but he's much of a trouble too.

The decision to ban him does not come from some single hot-headed mod, we have discussed this among ourselves, and also with the digit admin, after many arguments and counter-arguments it was concluded that we should let him go for good. The digit MOD team consists of many Linux/FOSS lovers(Including Myself), and we want him to keep contributing to the forum without causing trouble, but that just does not seem possible.

Interesting.............this thread has been silent for quite some time now

NucleusKore said:

That's a unique complain.

Looks like all is well

I'd like to call attention to the fact that the link to a member's blog on this thread was edited by a mod and the reason cited as 'obvious self promotion'.

It seems to me that just because the member in question is a new member, that link was considered as self promotion. I won't name anyone in particular but I've seen there are other members posting links to their sites when they could, just as easily, have pasted the content in their replies. Shouldn't their links be sniped as well?

Does being a 'newbie' make on illiterate enough to ignore the rules of the forum. Moreover, the blog post was plagiarized and incomplete, nothing original or self-made. So why do you think that the newbie is entitled to a back-link and some free traffic.

C'mon now, lets not be so generous with our time and patience.

And about those 'unnamed' members who you allege to have linked to their sites in your post, please post the links to the posts.

Just because few were missed, we can let this forum because a newbie-club with link-garbage.

I have never had issues with link backs to original stuff that I write. If he wants to promote his blog let him have it in his signature.

MODS Are MODS. you can't tell'em what to do. They are chosen by digit team itself so there is no point accusing them. They are the best here.

Well.....still praka123 isn't unbanned.......its been over 2 months and I feel he has had enough punishment.

Let him be back now.....

Well, toofan_nainital has been miserabled by Raaabo. I just want to know that is that Permanent or for a period. AFAIK many people have been miserabled permanently. *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showgroups.php amd64_man2005 being one of them and still he hasn't got any reason from Raaabo.

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/member.php?u=44514
As I can see, his Title is: Kicked back by Raaabo...seems to me kinda funny

And the reason probably is this: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=961336&postcount=23 Or it was something else??

Toofan_nainital was just joking. Some things are meant to be taken lightly, not to be taken seriously, but then........

All I want to know is whether the ban is permanent or temp.??

Well it says he has been miserabled, not banned. Any difference?

NucleusKore said:

I don't know the exact difference, but people surely have been miserabled forever or for a very long period.....!!!

Miserabled= Gagged, tongue tied, hands and feet cuffed.
Banned= Account killed.

Toofan_nainital was sounding irritating in that thread

kept on mispronouncing a forum member's handle on purpose and his statements against him too were pretty immature...unless you are 13

Raaabo is an employee of that publication and putting the blame solely on him for the fault of the organisation is lame

how difficult would it have been to post it under a different admin's name

Lets keep this issue aside. I wonder if Raaabo is the ONLY person in the organization. I know he was not in comfortable health, and I sympathize with his sufferings and wish him earliest recovery. However, how come not a single other person from the organization could do the work. How exclusive was that work that Raaabo's absense completely crashed it? His ire was justified. But I have no idea about how he voiced his ire. So no comments on that.

Irritating indeed I agree.......

I've just asked is that a permanent ban or temporary ban?.....Moderators?

Well if it says "In Shameful Misery" his account still exists and he is just suspended. If it says "Banned" then the account exists but he is permanently banned. And if it says "Guest" and the Posts count show 'n/a' then he is permanently banned and the account is deleted from the database and cannot be reused.

Amd64_man2005....."In shameful misery" till eternity........:/

Accounts can be 'Banned' for a small period too.

Anyways, being banned or miserabled is more or less the same thing.

sumbody else from the magazine should have created an admin account and posted that. Raaabo is not at fault IMO

doodledooo, where are the results ?

Well, there was this troll in the PES09 vs FIFA09 thread who was harrasing me and other 3-4 members and so I asked him to f*ck off and I got banned for 5 days and not him! This forum is really strange.

If you thought people were harassing you, you should have reported the post. Who gave you the right to sling abuses onto people? I'm banning this user permanently, as you are trying to circumvent your ban. And if i catch you with another ID, ill permanently ban your old ID.

Why is the thread on Punjab locked? Did anyone attack anyone in that thread?

I don't care anymore about why a user is banned, why a thread is locked as this forum sucks these days but locking a thread which belongs to the Punjabis is just not fair.

Hitboxx said:
And besides, you get uncensored space

Really? Were you or anyone else attacked in that thread?

See the irony. There is no mechanism to prevent spammers from making useless posts/threads. But responsible members who want to minimize the spam and help admin/mods by reporting such posts are discouraged by messages like that.

This forum requires that you wait 180 seconds between reporting posts. Please try again in 110 seconds.

It wasn't locked because anyone was attacked or because it belonged to Punjabis. It was locked because now there is already a Social Group feature on our forum and it is made for such discussions. Hence it was inappropriate to continue it in the Chit-Chat section (even though the name says Chit-Chat, it still should be related to technology).

Plus as he said, the Social Group section is unmoderated. So you can talk whatever you want there (well, almost whatever).

Don't take it as a personal offence. He is only doing his duty. He hasn't got any grudge against any Punjabi whatsoever.

I never took anything personal on this forum. This time it IS personal.

1. Where it is written that Chit Chat should only have tech related threads? The description of Chit Chat Section is:

Anything that doesn’t fit into the other sections—from upcoming technology to personal anecdotes—should be posted here

2. Show me the rule which says you can't have thread like that in Chit Chat? If you want only tech related threads in Chit Chat then why many other so called "useless" threads are growing? All the forums have a general discussion section.

3. Social Group? Well we have many sites for that purpose- orkut, twitter, facebook, myspace & tons of others. Then why in the world do we need a forum at all. Define the term "forum".

4. Why are you speaking on his behalf? How do you know he is doing his duty and has no grudge against Punjabis? Let him reply.

2. Well, no one before you ever had any problem with such threads. AFAIK, that thread was created before you were made a mod (21-08-2007).

@narangz,
The thread on Punjab was not the only one which was locked. Look at the link posted by Hitboxx in his post there. He has given few valid reasons over there. It's not that such threads can't be started in Chit Chat section, but user-groups are more suitable area for such regional discussions. By this, the general forum will be region-neutral and will appeal to larger audiences.

I've already read his post in the other thread. Instead of locking both these threads he could have suggested the use of groups. I can't see any valid reason behind the closure of both the threads.

The locking of the thread is weird. Seriously. Hitboxx the reason given by you is absurd to say the least.

this forum has gone weird

things change pretty fast.. I wonder where are the old guys ?

H

Haha you can't do one thing without being judged and dissected from top to bottom. And some even PM'ed me those are the only threads they come to visit the forum and losing users is bad for forum business. Well, whatever, like I care.

Anyways, all those regional threads are re-opened and my posts have been deleted. I'm outta here.

So the thread is open now.

I've got a complaint: There are not enough smileys! Instead of providing us with the same smileys with different code, TDF admins should replace repeated smileys with smileys for things like rofl and a better smiley for lol.

Don't laugh people, this might seem a small complaint but at least the solution is plausible! Can some mod or admin do something about this?

Ya. Gimmi a band or a party smiley and a ROFL smiley. Also the famous beer1 or cheerz smiley

take another look at the members who replied in OPPOSITION of a justified reason.
i did a favor to mods/admins ^^.
the reason why this forum has lost its QUALITY is explained there by the senior members.

Oh, sir you want us to stop discussing abt unreleased games ? lol

F

Here is the answer to your post. Which for whatever reasons I didn't want to post.

A kind request to the active mods of Gamerz forum. Please don't entertain any game review, discussion threads of UNRELEASED games or where members discuss or troubleshoot PIRATED games.

Why are there reviews , opinions and discussions of Software , Hardware , World Events that has not happened on this forum. then for the same reason game reviews will be discussed. In no way are you in any capacity to prove anyone here is using Pirated software. Unless they mention so in the thread. Even if so theres a little report button you could have used.

Since most of the gamers here are from India, let them discuss about released games, but when they start discussing about 'cracker/rip version' of games, pls lock the thread with appropriate warning to involved member.

And what about the people who do not live in India. Are they free to speak about other games which are available in countries which aren't here? This is the Internet People don't limit themselves by geographical boundaries. If you find a post discussing cracks or rips be free to report the thread. However, asking to restrict the forum to products that are only available in the Indian market would probably invalidate 75% of the threads of this forum.

I'm a casual gamer, reading the threads here just makes wonder 'am i at ThinkDigit forum or some warez forum'. Long time ago, this Gamerz forum was THE cleanest & fun place to hangout.

Although my opinions about the users of this forum vary I still think the Magazine is pretty good. Obviously you haven't seen a warez forum or don't know what you are comparing this forum to. As a casual gamer you are entitled to the same benefits that EVERY other user in this forum is granted. You reported a thread , the mod did do the needful and yet you went and posted a thread suggesting that every other gamer here is a pirate. If you ask me , you had it coming.

Anyway , out of curiosity do you buy Skoar?

Nobody is getting the point.
by the way, the attitude of most people here(in that thread, the members who have bashed me for no reason) too low to comment on. Their attitude is what's degrading Digit's quality.

Yes, we mods are reading this, but unfortunalety its not in our hands to add smileys. Only the admins can do that

Hey guys this was the troll who got me banned a few weeks before. No wonder he shows his awful personality here. And FYI, posts in chit-chat/fight club/gamerz dont increase post-count. Just STFU and go play with barbies you dumb dork.

@Psychosocial, you are PSYCHO for sure, but not SOCIAL in any way:lmao:

hey there! will ya give a second thought to your language?

I agree you may be a powerful guy, but please be polite. If you want to serve a warning, please do so in a correct manner.

You can't treat members this way. If they have been 'abusive to you', then the forum rules do provide the penalty for that. Please make use of that instead of handling it as it pleases you.

I agree that the other guy may not have behaved in the most desirable manner, but YOU are the senior guy as well as a respected mod, and hence I expect you to mainatain an optimum level of attitude in your activities. C'mon dude, its our forum man. i agree that some members may not be all that desirable, but we should give them a graceful exit, else they create aliases and keep haunting this forum!

Haila! Mod se panga! :shock:

^And that too a stern one. Whatever shantanu said was 100% correct. Actually, he should have been a little MORE strict.

He is new so shantanu might have thought to give him another chance (dunno why). I was banned bcoz of that troll chintu08. And you can see his vulgar attitude here too.

^^LOL

How many times hav u gotten banned?

^Not much. 4 temp. bans. That are enough for me. Out of that 2 were for fighting with trolls like chintu08, one was for speaking bad about Preity Zinta the last one I forgot.

what the hell was wrong with my avatar? just coz it had "pen*s" typed in it, its offensive? what about the guys who start & end their post with "f*ck"? thats cool with you guys?
ok, i wont put any avatar anymore.

why did i get a "warning from mods"? what did i do wrong? did i post profanity? Is supporting a noble cause (J Maharaj's) a crime in this forum? Did "I" start the fight here?
the guy who accuses of me being a troll/spammer, himself spams & picks fight everywhere. but no warning is given to him, may i know why? let me guess, coz he has 1.7k post count?
look at this thread *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102686
btw, i have nothin against @Psychosocial. he & othera only pick on me, maybe coz i have lesser post counts.
check my other posts & tell where have i spammed/trolled.

Whats so wrong with that thread? I am just expressing my views on India and others are expressing theres'. In the PES vs FIFA thread, I said that I have scored x number of goals and you started making fun of me.

Ok, enough.. Can we please fight elsewhere? Please look at the topic before you post. This is the last warning.

as kalpik said , stop fighting.. and rohan :: i cannot understand you ever.. !! Well.. if you dislike my procedure to warn him, read his statements and i dont have to explain you about anything.. contact the admins if you like about it.. i dont have any problem with that.. !!

You know very well why you were warned. No one needs to prove to you why you were warned. As far as the rules go by this forum, BEHAVE, or face the consequences. Consider this as your final warning.

*s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj44/visio159/Unismilies/38large.png

This is my view about the Rapidshare thread in bazzar section. I think it's a dual standard by (some)mods by not only allowing such thread (sticky!) but also actively participating in such trades. Why?

1. Most of the accounts sold here are phished.
2. It's against Rapidshare's ToS to share a RS account.

RapidShare keeps the legal right to close an account that are used by several people. It is a violation of terms to share an account.

3. It's against Rapidshare's ToS to resell an account.

Reselling Premium Accounts is a privilege given to our verified Resellers.

I'm sure everyone including mods know about these conditions (seeing number of complains against a seller about accounts being blocked etc..) and still allowing such illegal activities through this forum.

I understand personal interest but you selected people are given a responsibility and you agreed to take it. If you hold your personal interest above your responsibility I suggest you please step down and then engage in such activities.

Agreed. I have unapproved the thread, and have opened a discussion thread in the moderation section for this issue. Will keep you guys updated. Thanks amitava82.

OK, time to dig up this thread again! Look at this:-

Oh, and I had to upload this image on tinypic! While our own forum has an attachment feature!. All because its defunct!

And we still don't have new smileys!

P.S.: I'm not shouting.

Hmm.. All these problems only the admins can look into. Considering that the admins are a busy lot here, try PMing them

Shouldn't they first get the forum working like it used to?

They can work on improving the performance once the forum is free of stupid bugs like the quick-reply bug, 30 seconds wait etc.

I whined today, but in vain

niaaaa will help you. Spam niaaaa all over the forum and you'll get what you want. Believe me, "niaaaa is the Universal truth"....

Edit:

Okay, Praka123 has served over 9 months of ban. So, can we have him unbanned now??

Also, I think a permanent ban for victor_rambo wasn't justified.

Oh, i think the permanent ban for rohan was THE most justified ban on think digit. He just tried to circumvent the ban. The new ID is banned too. He's a doctor ffs.. He should try and act like one!

He was fighting for a good cause.

Yea, but his method of fighting is not acceptable here. Tell me, how many threads have come up for the same cause over the past months, and how many people have got banned?

kalpik said:

Tell me has there been any impact of those threads.

It was about a year back when the users had complained about the attachments and the problem still isn't rectified.

To be frank, I'm happy with the work of moderators as they have responded well whenever I've messaged.

I know there has been no impact, but frankly, i am in no position to comment on that as i am not capable of making any amends. Please be aware, that these issues irritate the MOD's as much (if not more, as we have to manage all spam) as they irritate the regular members.

Mujhe lagta hai ki Vaibhavtek ki ek naye responsive Administrator ki demand ek dum sahi thi.

@Kalpik, I don't know about Praka but permanent ban on Rohan was not justified.
Agreed, he was becoming too troublesome but u could've done done away with banning him permanently.
He was fighting for good reason. We all know that. May be he became hyper too soon but he got more than what he deserved.

He was a very active member of our community and contributed enough.
And, u don't have any business with what he does in his personal life (if he's doing doctorate or, law or anything else)

I am VR.
After being banned, this is the only ID I have created.
Kalpik, please do not spread BS about any banned user account, unless you have solid proof.

Do you have any proof that the account that you banned was mine, or are those your fantasies/speculations? Why don't you post logs then?

How is it that the admins and mods do nothing(except "I am working on the issues") but still get to speak and do whatever they feel like.

You are just a mod, nothing above that. So please mind your "aukaat" instead of letting modship go to your head. You are not so great to tell others how they should behave. We all have seen how you all guys have behaved. So no point trying to be a "nice guy".

Contribution? In his early days, sure.. But last i remember his contributions included threads like "Spamming is my birth right", "I'm Pregnant"

And you say a temp ban could have solved the issue? Look at what he did. He made a new ID, and started RIGHT where he left off..

1. Creating a new ID to circumvent ban is against the rules.
2. If he felt he was wrongly banned, he could have appealed with his new ID. He did not. Instead he started with the same behavior that got him banned in the first place.
3. No matter how much he contributed in the past, if he's going haywire, remember, no one on the forum is indispensable.
4. As far as the rules go, bans etc are not up for public discussion. If anyone wants to discuss about rohan's ban, please feel free to PM me.

This is the end of discussion about rohan's ban on this thread. Ill feel free to ignore any other posts about the same on this thread.

My complaint is that nobody here seems to be paying attention to tech issues anymore. I posted a query regarding ms access a few days ago but no one responded but when I opened a thread like "how good you are english is" I got almost a 100 replies in 3 days.

^Exactly. Forum members aren't like what they used to be (including myself). If I want any problem of mine solved, I'd be better off heading to some other forum like TE.

Coz everyone knows that they will spend 5 minutes replying to your query and when they will press the 'Submit' button, the server will probably go down or produce some kind of error.

In case of stupid threads, there is no significant mental effort involved on part of the replying member and hence no big deal if the server f***s up!

^For that reason, I only reply to "infected with virus" types of threads as I have got a short answer for that.

BTW, yes the forum fcuked up in may cases when I was going to post a long answer and on irritation, I only posted short versions of it many times.......

One of the main bug is that, on logging in, it again asks to log in on replying to a thread. If you have not copied the text earlier before pressing Submit, it will be gone to dogs and you will retype it again after logging in again. Btw it only happens when we log in for a new session(i.e. Remember me is not ticked).......

Disc_Junkie said:

Believe none... what I do is, write and then copy it, click on the submit button, if it posts successfully, no issues else, again open the thread and paste it and submit again, 99% of the time it works.

This is not a bug, this is called session management (u mentioned the word, I guess u know it). Ur log-in only stays active for a certain time (the time out the Admins have set for a log-in sessions).
Its for security purpose and memory management.
If u want to be online for a long time (like I do, stay online for 8-9 hrs daily), check the remember me button. It will save ur session info and won't be asked to log-in again. ;-)

Thanks for the info! :smile:

Btw yes, i copy each and every long post before posting now.

rhitwick said:

Default session time is 14 minutes in most of Forums.

One workaround is to use the reload every addon in firefox. Just open thinkdigit.com/forum in a new window and minimise it; if you use linux you can send it to a different desktop. Set reload every to refresh the page every five minutes. That will keep you logged in while you browse the forum in another window.

hmmm there was a thread in the Chit Chat section started by some Shruti365 in which she was asking Maths questions, why has that been deleted?

H

Suspected troll. If this is not the case and they indeed return, the concerned party are set to PM a mod and the thread will be undeleted.

I think the pressure is much more on u three ( MHG n Pathik)...

And I don't know how long "only" u guys will be able to devote ur time here...

They should think about bringing one or two mods from "now regular" and "reputed" new members...

@rhitwick

you are well know here and i think you can handle things without any bias why don't you become a mod?

and some of those guys from the "uncle team"

those old guys are here for a long time we can make one of them as a moderator for this forum.

I may not be such frequent in future days.

and some of those guys from the "uncle team" those old guys are here for a long time we can make one of them as a moderator for this forum.

Good point, but most of them are too busy to MOD this forum...

In line of "Guru Greg" my call will be "young blood"... ;-)

Good idea rhitwick. But who? This forum lacks regular posters. If we make them the mods, then the forum will lose another regular poster as both deleting spam and posting regularly is not possible at the same time.

I really dunno about more mods, but why not call back the old mods instead? If they are busy, then they can let the admins know and then new mods must be appointed.

Afterthought: I doubt if the oldies who have left will return.

Techalomaniac said:

U won't believe me but I was thinking of ur name and a few others for it.

I don't think that would work. If they are not here, I think there must be some reasons behind that.

rhitwick said:

Thanks man, that's a compliment.

Personally I know a few who are senior to me on the forum and regular here who can be mods. In my very limited experience on the forum, I can say three names for mod. Dunno about others. Won't post their names here.

Meanwhile, rhitwick, knowing that you are a very thoughtful person, I can say that your idea of young blood is good. But older mods should be asked if they wanna continue.

Last activity of various mods is here. As i suspected, some of them hardly post, but they visit occasionally.

If not for you few remaining mods, we would be doomed and so would be this forum. Whatever remains, we can credit it to you guys. Thanks a lot. :goodjob:

MODs should not be blamed.. They have their personal life and duties to render. One has his real life to life. For all those people who are muti tasking their lives for this forum.. Hats Off. :doublethumb:

This forum is dead!! Why do you guys still bother!!
Tech Enclave is the 1000x times better maintained then this forum was ever in the past 2-3 years!(even the SUnsilk GangOfGIrls one too is better maintained..........yes I"ve been there once!!!)
And this is coming from a guy who was a regular TD visitor from last 6-7 years(yes,under different ids...got banned a few times) and started using TE a few months back!

The only thread that is better here is the MUST WATCH MOVIE one!!And thats where I mostly post!!
Flame me all you want but thats the fact!

the post editing interface feels pretty effed up to me - If I've used BBcodes in a post & then later when i go back to edit the post i'd like to see the ppost without any formatting with the bbcodes displayed

Plz do away with the js-enabled edit interface - don't like it at all

Also - more timeout limit please
