The Whining/Complaint Thread

[kalpik]

Dictatorship again. When you get irritated, you ban people.
No. Did i ban you? :D

When we get irritated, we just act as nothing had happened, right?
No again! You report it to admins, or post it here, but in a dignified manner.

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.
As i said before, i never did and never will ban people for irritating me :p

I am heading to pagalguy (http://www.pagalguy.com/forum). At least the forum founder has some time to reply there.
Good for you. I sincerely hope you have a better time there :)

Thanks in advance for banning me. Digit Sucks!
No, i am not banning you.

[m-jeri]

@kalpik.....

Please take this in a good sense dear friend..yeas u r being a frnd to us all...i know its a job..but please refrain from answering the questions posted here...

you see as someone already said ... the guy these posters are saying is playing safe not coming here and u....u r being in middle of it...

so ur call...i know u will come here...heheheh. :)....

and please do try so...

[iMav]

why dont u please address the pblm at hand...and this will stop...tha twon't happen, it's been 3 days and none of the admins has bothered to reply, no wonder even the mag's standard has gone down

[kalpik]

@kalpik

u r a new mod that is why replying ...i applaud you...and please dont treat us with disrespect and think that we will respect you....and none of us are try to irritate U....u know that
I really dont think i treated anyone with any disrespect in this thread. If i did hurt anyone's feelings, please point it out and ill take my words back :)

@kaplik..you see this is fight club....and this thread was started by kniwor for a prupose..its serving wel...
It was serving well until people started hurling insults.

1.u can ban some ppl
2.close the thread...

only these 2 methods can u mods choose...is it cowardly???
why dont u please address the pblm at hand...and this will stop...
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 :)

[m-jeri]

@ all posters...

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

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

[sourav123]

no wonder even the mag's standard has gone down

+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.

[iMav]

@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 :)

[m-jeri]

@imav...

thats just pathetic man... LOL.... :)

[abh1shek]

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.

[kalpik]

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

[abh1shek]

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

No probs mate!! I just hope the issue gets resolved!! :p

[MetalheadGautham]

I told exactly about this in page 2.

^Ah, but i started the rants here, with a post against the apple thread :p
http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=800628&postcount=3
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 :p



@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 (http://http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=821975&postcount=166) for the time being, as there is little effect your actions may have ATM.

[m-jeri]

@kalpik...

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

[iMav]

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 :)

[narangz]

^^ LOL! You've experience it seems at Tech2. :D

[eggman]

Wow!!! 11 pages of winning in last 2 days and absolutely no response from the egoistic coward drgrudge or from any admin. An sincere apology is all needed and it will put the end of discussion ....but no, he has got his ego in between. Victim of superiority complex.....

And admins too don't care. What's the point of this thread then.....it better be deleted as its 'unnecessary' and serves no purpose at all. :x :x

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 ?

[iMav]

And admins too don't care. What's the point of this thread then.it took you 2 days to figure that out :rolleyes:

Call me whatever you want but am I the only one who has a problem with all caps and neon flashing font colors / sizes?
Dude, one can post in CAPS once a while when he wants other people to notice the post or is angry......And I don't find anything wrong in it....

They're probably busy setting up the *new* & *improved*forum. :lol:

[praka123]

drgrudge -that guy isnt anyway related to digit AFAIK :|

[abh1shek]

^ ^ ^ I was talking about Raaabo and Fatbeing ;)

[amitava82]

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.. :D.

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.

[prasad_den]

Thats good news... :D How about making me a partner.. ;)

[ravi_9793]

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.
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.

[praka123]

^eh?you got seriouS? :rolleyes:

[rohan_shenoy]

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.
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?

[slugger]

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
http://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... :p

, 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 (http://thinkdigit.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=22)....if you feel that Thinkdigit does not listen to you then dont bother posting there.

I suggest delete all your posts from the Interact (http://thinkdigit.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=22) 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

[iMav]

^^ 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

[FilledVoid]

^^ 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?

[MetalheadGautham]

^^ 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
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.

[T159]

Did I miss something or two ?

[Vishal Gupta]

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.

[iMav]

I sincerely hope that members accept your plea :p

[praka123]

what's happening here :? :?

[T159]

^^wat do u think ?

leave the matter or pull it more ?

[prasad_den]

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..!!

[smit]

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.

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

This forum has seen its days long ago. After JDM gave away the controls to 9Dot9.

9Dot9 is a crap. Even a 5 yr old will be able to run the forum better. Same with the mag and same with the forum. Digit will be history soon. R.I.P.

Wtf? Are you outta your mind? How dare you post like this? Then when I ban you, go crying to the admins, ..you are no different than any of the members including me, so start behaving like one, and you better grow up. This is my stark warning!!

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.

[T159]

problem is gone

[krazzy]

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.

If that's what you think of the MODs, then you have no idea what all we do, and its better for you to just shut up.

If you have some time to listen, I have an advice for you. Don't make yourself a matter of joke.
Thanks for the advice, but please keep your smart@ss advice to yourself.

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.).*
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.

+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

[adi007]

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 :mad:

[rohan_shenoy]

i kept usin the chip forum pw to login........only to realise this is the thinkdigit forum

lol.....

[Cool G5]

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

[praka123]

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

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! :D

[slugger]

Just remove the ads.

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

http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/group.php?groupid=18

[iMav]

the admins are so damn efficient over here :D 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

[shady_inc]

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

[Vishal Gupta]

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

[x3060]

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

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.:(

This is the last time I am requesting the mods or to whomsoever it may concern.Please for the sake of sanity could you guys remove those side ad's & banners that appear.This is ridiculous.Having a Tech forum advertising Bikini posters is not something which is acceptable.I know there are softwares to block this crap which I already have enabled at my home via Mozilla.But this is when I am accessing the internet at my work place.This is not a sight which the company would like.They might mistake a mini-porn site.And NO I can't download any ad-blocking software out here.So please a request to get some decent ads or remove them completely off the grid.

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?

[Ethan_Hunt]

^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.:(

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

[adi007]

^^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.

[MetalheadGautham]

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.

[slugger]

Please revoke your decision to ban Praka permanently

[The_Devil_Himself]

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.:D(no gay replies please)

[amitava82]

No thinks, you already did it.

[CadCrazy]

Please revoke your decision to ban Praka permanently

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

[NucleusKore]

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.

[CadCrazy]

Any info when Praka will be Unbanned ???

[ajaybc]

Is that a permanent ban?

[narangz]

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

[T159]

I don't think he will come back !

[narangz]

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

[kalpik]

He is permanently banned.

[axxo]

Did he cause anything serious for a permanent ban?

http://i38.tinypic.com/10rsupk.jpg

[narangz]

He is permanently banned.

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.

[CadCrazy]

@ 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

[Hitboxx]

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.

[rohan_shenoy]

Why? People here freely use the words moro**, fa***ts but they never get banned.
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'.

[thelordrrulzzz]

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..

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.

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

[Kniwor]

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.

[afonofa]

I'd like to call attention to the fact that the link to a member's blog on this thread (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=98639) 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?

[rohan_shenoy]

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.

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. http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showgroups.php amd64_man2005 being one of them and still he hasn't got any reason from Raaabo.

http://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: http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=961336&postcount=23 Or it was something else?? :confused:

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.??

[NucleusKore]

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

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.

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

[krazzy]

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.

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.

[kalpik]

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.

[narangz]

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.

And besides, you get uncensored space :P

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

Also show me the rule which says creating threads on states can lead to closure of that thread.

[ThinkFree]

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. :)

Omg guys, such a long thread on individualism, how come I never came across this thread :O.

1. Individualism?

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).

[swatkat]

@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.

[iMav]

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

[T159]

this forum has gone weird

[shantanu]

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

[Hitboxx]

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.

[bassam904]

So the thread is open now.:-)

Earlier I used to be a regular in the Q&A, Software Troubleshooting etc sections but now I've lost that desire. I only participate in a few seleected threads. The old charm isn't there any more, neither are a lot of the old members.

[Psychosocial]

The thing is that the forum is not active much.... we need new members who are willing to post actively and we need to get back the old ones.... many old members still post, but only in Chit-Chat :(.

[gagandeep]

Well, I don't feel that the people in our community @ ThinkDigit forum are so m0r0nic that they'll promote regionalism here. :)

Its good that the thread is opened now. :)

Exactly dude. Even I used to post like hell in QnA & Software Troubleshooting, but after some incidents a few months back, I myself stopped posting much in those sections and I also participate in a couple of selected threads.

The new members are generally n00bs too....
I mean...bumping a useless thread that is more than a year old for something like " Thanks man" ???!?!
And not to mention asking for BwT invites and posting in wrong sections.....:rolleyes:

I agree....the charm is lost....:(
But it is still a great place to hang out online :)

[alexanderthegreat]

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?

[Psychosocial]

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

[rohan_shenoy]

Yes, we need more smileys.

[NucleusKore]

Use unismilies

Okay. Let that be a Whining Thread, why don't you read the title of this thread again. :)

[gagandeep]

One thing is for sure.....Most of the people who posted in that thread were being very rude to our new member Jhaat Maharaj. They could have politely said that they don't agree and given justifications. But the way they behaved was very rude.

[rhitwick]

Gagandeep, r u complaining or whining or just passing comments??

Thanks a lot Kalpik.you were really quick in taking care of the NFS thread. :) about this thread- http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102340
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.

[T159]

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

[FilledVoid]

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?

[Jhaat Maharaj]

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.

Yup, everyone who posted there is dumb. You are the only perfectionist out there. We (including me,sam9s,Kl@w-24, etc) are dumb and dont even know how to spell. Our attitude is disgusting and our minds=sh1t. Happy ?

Guys, we're done in that thrd, why continuing here?

STOP NOW!!!

[m-jeri]

^^

He deserved it mate..so its all good.

[alexanderthegreat]

^^^^Include me into the mad list!:D:twisted:

And this still doesn't solve my smiley problem!:mad:
@NucleusKore:In no way whatsoever are some 3rd party (possibly adware) smiley programs even equal to the integrated smileys of the digit forum. We need integration of more smileys! Come on people! We want rofl:lol:! Are mods reading this?

[kalpik]

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

Regarding the NFS issue, any further posts on it, will be deleted without warning. If someone has a genuine concern about it, please feel free to PM me.

[thewisecrab]

Why has the title changed from:
Digit Forum-Powered by Vbulletin
to:
Digit Online Technology Discussion Forum?
The first was was more simplistic :|
