Ok so here it goes

[clears throat]

I usually check the forum out when I have time. I'm currently working over the summer break so I log in in the morning from home and later browse through it at work. I don't log in or post from work coz of the fear of being shahid'd from my internship. So currently on weekdays I post when I get back from work in the evening. From August, I'll be logging in more frequently.


The Indian forum is quite disciplined and the post quality is decently high. If anything goes wrong when I'm at work, I believe that either of the two mods would be able to swiftly handle the incident at hand. This brief absence of mine every day till August shouldn't affect the forum. I'll work out a plan with the current mods so that at least one mod is online all the time. I'll also come out of the invisible mode http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6339/happyxaj.gif so that people can notice my presence and feel free to contact me regarding any issues that they have.


besides moderating the forum, some of the things on my manifesto:

1. Better forum and content organization - renaming threads, make project info available on the first page of each infra thread. More on it here (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=38696540&postcount=22).

2. Brand building - more new interesting threads in the international sections to promote the nation. I'd look into perhaps forming a core team of members who can chip in.

3. Reviving the Heritage & Monuments section

4. Reducing clutter - sticky threads in the chaibar along with the threads at the bottom of the forum will be put into the new "India Forum Issues & Archive" subforum. This new name would be subject to approval by the mods and I'll ensure it gets approved.

5. Upholding the traditions of SSCi - I will not be a tyrant and will seek advice from the 2 gurus on moderation and before taking any "big" step.

6. Distributing free color tvs for everyone who voted for me. :nocrook:

j/k, I don't play dirty votebank politics.


IU

Now I'm wondering if I even have a chance against IU :colgate:


Well I would -

1. Delete unneeded thread

2. Delete of topic posts in threads

3. Stop arguments in threads

4. Increase activity

5. Like IU said revive History & Heritage and other subforums that a mostly dead.

6. Start more threads in international forum which I already do :tyty:

7. I'll spread out more to maintain all subforums

8. You can PM if need anything done

9. I won't be distributing free color TVs for evryone who votes for me :tongue3:

:cheers:

Folks, I have had a bit of experience with polls and soapboxes but I will refrain from anything long and flowery, and boring.

As many of you know, I am involved with tall buildings and infra in my day job as well as in SSC, starting at about the same time as a matter of fact. I hope this will help me to add some value to discussions as a Mod as well as a senior forum member. I also have some experience in urban planning, development and policy.

Without getting into the details too much, here are a few things that I hope to do:

1. Being available as much of the time as possible for SSC activity so that together with Sun and Sudheesh, the best possible response can be delivered to SSC-ians.

2. Organising the thread and forum structure in the most-user friendly way possible.

3. Pragmatic adherence to SSC regulations and conventions.

4. Create more focus on sections like basic infrastructure, hospitality and tourism and heritage & culture.

5. Encourage a professional discussion forum to generate ideas from the rich SSC brain pool which could be deployed in the real world.

6. Try to evolve ideas with the participation of all of you to increase the interface between SSC and the community, be it promoting India across the world or in suggesting solutions to problems in urban development/planning.

Apologies if the soap-box fever got the better of me, but these are some of the things which I think we can do together.

Thanks in advance! Have a nice week ahead.

Cheers! :)

Ok.

Here I go. I know I wouldn't be any match for IU Or Ajay, but being a mod was one thing I would like to do in SSC. I am no Pranab or Lalu. So I have kept it plain and simple.

1.The SSC-India forum is excellent with lots of knowledge-proof people who are contributing to SSC-India and giving us updates.


2. Promise to keep the International Forums as much updated as I can.

3.My main focus as a mod is get rid of nonsense from many forumers. I am logged in SSC around 6-8 hours a day. So I can promise to remove unwanted posts and arguments in many other forums. I will try to access other sub forums which I don't usually do it as much as I can. Spammers will be warned and banned when necessary with the permission of other Senior mods.

4.The other thing I want to do is to redirect the new users of SSC-India to the Indian Forum Issues thread so they will know how to post images, articles, edit their posts, and uploading videos on Youtube. Hopefully, in case I am not online, other SSC members would follow suit.

5.I follow a policy, "Live and Let Live". So unless the person is acting like an idiot, I won't bug him.

6.Besides that, I will also focus on organizing the threads in the India sub-forum and the chaibar and delete the threads with the agreement from other two senior mods (Sudheesh and Sun). Similar threads will be merged into one.

7.We all are here to learn. So asking questions will always be encouraged unless it is rhetoric.


Thank you.

ok, I guess it'll take time to get a reply from sun,

Am posting my manifesto here. This is what I can do for our forumers if I'm voted :D


First and foremost, I can dedicate my time (I'm online for at least 8 - 10 hours a day in SSC) for a prompt response for fellow SSCians and to make forum as user friendly as possible. (Ofcourse with Sudeesh, Suncity and drwho [no more active I guess])


Start a 'Initiation' section (With all necessary stuff) for the newbies before they plunge into actual posting. This will avoid the so-called spammers, spoilers, etc..


Standard titles, proper information about the thread in its first post/page. Remove unnecessary sticky threads, moving dead threads to archive, etc. No sms, chat languages (credit: Zenith_suv) in threads except chaibar, etc


Reviving History & Indian Architecture section and creating new topics like "Civilizations of India, History of Transportation in India, Indian Architects, Architectural styles of India, Architectural Perception, Ornamentation, cyberspace, etc(after all this is an architectural forum ;))


Will also create a section/thread for our forumers to put in their ideas in creating a new thead, etc. (The Brainstorming section) and possibly a technical thread for each section under infrastructure.


Possibly creating a team of fellow forumers who can actually give some ideas as well as work together with me to start/update threads in International sections


Also including a thread for each of the following under infrastructure section - Tourism, Infrastructure Security, Communication & Geophysical Monitoring networks (satellites, meteorological stuff, etc), Waste Management, etc


No color tvs, 1000 bucks, etc... But I'll make sure that I deliver whatever I've promised :)



Hope I covered most [if not all] of the expectations!

Thank you guys! :cheers: [mabbe bringing in new smilies like this http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/8633/blow.gif]

OK , Heres a small intro , followed by my activity at SSC India & my manifesto.

I Mihir, originally from Mumbai , am now doing my Post-Graduate studies in the US. I've been in the states since Jan 2008. Apart from Movies , music i have a great passion for news & current affairs . I love India very much & hence love tracking India's progress in various sectors [economy , agriculture, industry & technology , infrastructure ].

Me at SSC
I have been a member since a couple of years . I have always mentioned a steady & consistent presence in the forums. My contribution to the forum can be enlisted as follows:

1. Updating the forums with the latest development in each of the above mentioned sectors.

2. Participate in healthy , constructive debates with other members on contentious issues related to growth in India.

3. My most prominent contribution however would be posting pictures showing progress of the quite a few projects of Mumbai [towers, roads, & the Mumbai INtl airport] , taken during my trip to the city this January .

My agenda for the forum
1. Focusing on Agriculture, Public Health care , Education . Since the priority of the UPA Govt. has been the aam aadmi, it would be interesting to track the progress here.

2. Promotion of Indian developments in International Fora.

3. Encouraging productive discussions/debates amongst members , on all major issues concerning Infrastructural development .

4. Tourism & culture : Our forum can be a great platform for promotion of Indian culture & hence tourism.

5. Discipline in the forum : I am all for healthy debates , but without them ending in a fist-fight . No-tolerance towards personal assaults & racist / chauvinist comments.

6. Im online almost throughout the day [except offcourse when i'm asleep or on the road]. Hence id be available most of the time to monitor the community & to help members with their issues, if any.


If you want me to elaborate on any of the above points , feel free to ask me the same. :)

Well here's your chance to vote for a new moderator for SSC India.

The poll will close July 16, 2009.

If someone is made a moderator once, is it not possible to remove him from the moderator post forever?

If someone is made a moderator once, is it not possible to remove him from the moderator post forever?

If you are more specific it will be appreciated.

Do you want any of us to step down?

If you are more specific it will be appreciated.

Do you want any of us to step down?

no, im just asking because drwho has not been active for almost last two years but he still remains to be a moderator.

Damn, it seems like I was the first to vote. :)

no, im just asking because drwho has not been active for almost last two years but he still remains to be a moderator.

Actually he functioned mainly as the Asian Moderator and moderator in one of the news sections in the main forums. He also helped us out when needed.

He has not logged in for two months now and he left no message for either me or Sudheesh or RafflesCity. Which is very unlike him. I have contacted him again yesterday but haven't received any reply. Hopefully he is okay.

I would have preferred a poll that was more confidential.. and might have avoided people from seeing who is voting for who etc This way forumers might feel more confident voting ? I also would have wished there were some basic criteria for people being nominated to be eligible for the poll.

Anyways, I will refrain from voting, its just my personal choice, no offence to anyone.

Good Luck!

No hard feelings rest of you guys.

I think many fo them dono that poll is going on for mods so it will be good if this matter up in all metro cities

We have had a discussion thread open for quite some time.

I think I mentioned that the voting will be 'open'. That way we know all who voted. This is mainly to avoid any future issues.

We will not count votes from forumers who have registered today, have very few posts, are not regular participants in SSC India. Sudheesh and my decision will be final in this regard and will be done in consultation with all the candidates. If we reject a vote, we will publicly say so with a reason.

We have only put in names of people who sent us a pm saying that they wish to become a moderator. The only person I am not sure of is ferrari_fan. He seemed to be interested only if India101 was. But he did not send us any pm. So I have not included his name.

Best of luck to all. Happy voting.

why am i up there? i don't even have a plank yet. Can someone make a plank, aka manifesto, for me so that i don't feel left out :(

I've been travelling and I honestly didn't think I'd have much to offer as a moderator, other than reading through posts once a day and making sure no one was coming to blows, so I felt it made better sense to continue to enjoy the forums in the same way I always have till now..

then why shud u conduct polling and wasting our energy ,better if u have anyone in ur mind just make them mod instead of conducting poll and eliminating the votes using ur nice idea:lol:

All votes are visible to everyone. If any contestant has any issue with anyone's vote and they have a valid reason, then Sudheesh and I will take a decision on that complaint in consultation with all the candidates. And we will make public our decision and give a reason for it as well. I think that is fair enough.

dammit IU , you r gonna make me lose my deposit :ohno:

I can't think of a better person (at this stage) to moderate this sub-forum than IU.

Bhargav and Todd, next time yeah? :hug:

lol. I new i didn't have a chance against IU.

C'mon people vote for me! :D

I'll do anything you want.

Damn IU! :bleep:

You stole my votes!! :cry:

People!!! Vote for mee.. :D

DAMN I'm goin bad. Looks like it will be between IU & Ajaypp.

Someone vote for me please! I have only 4.76% of the votes and dropping :cry:

DAMN I'm goin bad. Looks like it will be between IU & Ajaypp.

yup , it seems the whole of trivandrum forum is coming to life.

yup , it seems the whole of trivandrum forum is coming to life.

Then, we have to make re-pole between top two canditidate...

Since some of the forrumers might be voted for others too.. so we have to give some space for pick the best out of top two...

So we can keep consider the existing vote poled for the top two canditidate and give options for other voter who earlier voted for other than the top two...


So.. majarity of forummer including contest will give their option ..for best out of it..

I gave vote for my preference... If he is not going to win (by chance).. I need to give my vote for the best of two...

Hope, mod will think about it...

Then, we have to make re-pole between top two canditidate...
..

You should have given your suggestions before the poll started.

If you were the winning contestant, would you accept for a re-poll?

i voted for IU. If I don't get that tv, i will throw a major fit. I already know where he lives from our past conversations, so I won't have any problem tracking him down and stealing his credit card.


IU, I will try my best not to mess up your credit report. :)

What d'ya know. IU might not win after all.

who is winning...tell me tell me..i am going to vote for IU later. but tell me who is winning.

You already voted. Liar.

You already voted. Liar.

what?

^You already have voted for IU.

^^IU made me vote for him. He said he would beat me up at school, if I didn't.

The score so far:

IndiansUnite - 18
Ajaypp - 15
Kewl Batty - 2
India101 - 1
mihir1310 - 1
bhargavsura - 0
todscreen - 0

You should have given your suggestions before the poll started.

If you were the winning contestant, would you accept for a re-poll?

Good point..

.. This is not re-poll like what our politician demanding...

But, if you are not giving fair chance to vote best out of two, then according to the initial trend or latest, most of the forumer would give vote for leading candidate only...

this poll is open till the 16th. 6 more days.

^^IU made me vote for him. He said he would beat me up at school, if I didn't.

Then why don't u demand multiple vote for the contestant ...

One for u (atleast) and other one for ur own best choice...:lol::lol:

dammit IU , you r gonna make me lose my deposit :ohno:

I'm sure that how all of us feel. Maybe not Ajaypp. Iu already has 50% of the votes :(

lol. I new i didn't have a chance against IU.

C'mon people vote for me! :D

I'll do anything you want.

you are interesting me now...

yup , it seems the whole of trivandrum forum is coming to life.

Trivandrum forum is indeed one of the most active forums in SSC... :)
Its not that it came to life just for this poll..

I'm sure that how all of us feel. Maybe not Ajaypp. Iu already has 50% of the votes :(

you mean IU had crossed 50% of the total Voters...:ohno::ohno:

Then why don't u demand multiple vote for the contestant ...

One for u (atleast) and other one for ur own best choice...:lol::lol:

but i don't want to be a mod, why would i vote for myself? i wanted to vote for India101 too.

my plank was: if i win, i won't raise a finger. i will let the previous mods hulk over and do everything.

you are interesting me now...

:lol:............:shifty:

but i don't want to be a mod, why would i vote for myself? i wanted to vote for India101 too..

You did :happy: . Mods let him vote again!

ajaypp and iu will have a good competition, others :ohno:

Vote for Toddy guys. Comeon - lets test the integrity of the poll :D

Cheers!

It is almost like indian election where ppl(members) voted for development instead of communal agenda(complaining for just discussion and deleting many posts without informing them)

:cheer:VOTE for Todermal Banna:cheer:

Well..well.. its 26-22 now IU against Ajay!
This is getting closer...

The poll doesn’t make much sense. People tend to vote for the one who is ‘one of them’. I have hardly seen this guy ‘Ajaypp’ outside the South Indian section nor his voters 25Dude25, Ajaypp, ajithv, chandrurajan, choryyan,nishanthnair, powercore, Rajesh SM, rajkrish,ramkumar, robin_a_p, SajithVijayan, sathyalal,scorpiogenius, shafi, shelly, Sidewinder, sss_tvm,Subin, Sujith, Unnikrishnan, Viveks

^^ What! You haven't seen me? seriously? :(

^^Well, exceptions are obvious….

I demand "aarakshan" or reservation for minorities like Todermal Banna :speech::lol:

Well, you see, your point about votes foing in for 'one of them' is a universal phenomena. Ajay is an active forumer and one of the seniormost members abroad SSC. I've seen his posts across all forums of SSC sans the Chaibar. Only thing he is not too regular on other forums than the Kerala ones. But that shouldn't be a handicap as I guess ~95% of forumers tend to be comfortable in their own niche. Only India101, Jai and a handful of others trod in a pan-SSC way.

Well, I guess someone raised the same point agianst IU as well, that he is never spotted on South Indian forums.. Well?

Once they assume the role of the mod they are obliged to look into other forums outside their turf, and the guys in contension are obviously well aware of the fact. I think we must appreciate the democratic process adopted for the pick rather than whinge about it. ;)

To be honest, if not for Ajay's late candidature I guess IU would've swept aside all the other contestants. I was also all in hands for IU but that Ajay is a dear old friend.. Look at the status minus Ajay! Its almost 100% IU! :lol:

someone please vote for me :ohno:


ill play the role of a responsible opposition :lol:

I have hardly seen this guy ‘Ajaypp’ outside the South Indian section

^^ - Although Scorpio has put up an admirable defense already on my behalf, let me clarify that I am quite active on all Indian SSC forums as well as the international forums. I believe in posting constructively when I have something solid in hand such as pix or fresh info to put up rather than to slap a comment here and there. Not that I believe that focusing on subjects where one can contribute the most is at fault, but I have worked and lived across India, and I love to catch up on all the places. Cheers! :)

May I know how the candidates list was finalized?

May I know how the candidates list was finalized?

Anyone interested was asked to apply . those who did were on the list

apart from scorpio genius and occasionally Ajay , that is a list of a whole lot of people whom I never knew existed in SSC india , guess I should become more pan-india in my browsing approach.

On the poll topic , it's a close one between Ajay and IU but IU's led from the start , if previous polls are anything to go by then roughly 85-95 members activly vote. SO still some time left in this I reckon.

vote for todscreen(we can have lots of fun as he may open many chaibars :banana:)

Anyone interested was asked to apply . those who did were on the list

Thanks for the clarification.

To be fair to Ajay, that means YOU dont visit the Kerala & Trivandrum forum atall ! :dunno:

But yes, I too find is this poll is very polarised because of the nominations. Since many Trivandrum forumers are ganging up and voting for Ajay, the rest of India has ganged up ( unofficially ofcourse ) and are promoting IU as many are not familiar with Ajay. So in ways IU is also a beneficiary along with Ajay.

If not for this I would believe there would have been a fairer distribution of votes with all the candidates getting some support. For example some of the candidates with very few votes are also equally capable ( or equally incapable ) as Ajay or IU.

Having said that it was a bold initiative by the Mods to opt for a democratic poll for Mod selection, which is a rarity and not mandatory in SSC. But personally I am not sure of its effectiveness, maybe I am wrong. Hopefully this will be learning lessons for all next time, be it the way nominations for Mods were selected, decision to go for an open poll, or be it the way we tend to gang up and vote or not vote. We are all growing up.. the hard way I think :(

As for the would-be-Mod, what I ask is, who ever is selected as the Mod as a consequence of this, please take up the courage to shed partisanship and become a valuable and amicable addition to the staff list, as once you are in job there is a lot of hard work to be done not only in getting the bricks and shoes thrown in from the local forumers but also negotiating and doing a tight rope walk with the international Mods and foreign opinions. So you will need all the luck, so good luck to the candidates.

And no before you ask, 'Fusi, how can you give a godamn lecture from your ivory tower' can I say am not above it all, am still in the loop.. but hey someone had to shout out the 'undercurrent', so why not me :yes: :cheers:

If it helps, I also voted :)
Good Luck guys!
Dont forget to come visit South Africa for the 2010 FIFA world Cup!

someone please vote for me :ohno:

Nothing you do will get them to vote :(. All the votes (except a few) ate gong to Ajaypp & IU.

Nothing you do will get them to vote :(. All the votes (except a few) ate gong to Ajaypp & IU.

don't worry, it is you guys with the single votes that are the true followers of ancient Indian wisdom...

"Those who, relying upon themselves only, not looking for assistance to anyone besides themselves, it is they who will reach the top-most height" - Siddhārtha Gautama Buddha :D

( nicked it from the signature of a fellow forumer to whom original credit belongs lol )

I see people advocating for todermal banna and not voting..

:banana:Todermal banna FTW!:banana:

Fusi vote for me!

Some people who don't have any posts have voted in this poll.

Can we stop non-Indians from voting? I see a few votes from "foreigners"

^Yeah people from the South African, chinese, Philippine and Bangladeshsi forums have voted.

i am guessing that niknak and sakrishna are the alter ego names of Bhagravsura.

Can we stop non-Indians from voting? I see a few votes from "foreigners"

Mr. Marathaman, I am disappointed. Discriminating against nationalities is against the ten comandments set forth by Jesus.

^Why should they vote. They don't spend anytime or much time in this forum.

Mr. Marathaman, I am disappointed. Discriminating against nationalities is against the ten comandments set forth by Jesus.

No its not. Do you even know the 10 commandments?

Lol, I don't have a chance of getting to 33+ votes 6 days.

Also Tod, why are you so popular in the Colombian, Philipine and Chinese forums ;). I know why you have vote from Bangladeshis.

then why shud u conduct polling and wasting our energy ,better if u have anyone in ur mind just make them mod instead of conducting poll and eliminating the votes using ur nice idea:lol:

Nataraj,

Good Day.

In any organization, let it serve Corporate, Co-operative, Charity, Political or Religious purposes, a new entrant will not have a voting right. The admission / membership register shall be closed few days prior to voting. If the register is not closed, then there shall be a cut off date, whereby - only those members who joined before a particular date shall have the voting right. This is to safeguard the interests of the active workers of that organization.

After the election, the membership registry shall be open for all, whereby more people can join and contest for the forthcoming elections.

Providing new members with voting right shall lead to un-necessary complications during an election process.

No its not. Do you even know the 10 commandments?

ooo...i intend not to...please don't tell me, because if i read it, then i might suffer burn injuries.


btw, now that you know, if you do do it then you are going to prison for knowingly creating an environment unsafe for my skin's protection.

Also Tod, why are you so popular in the Colombian, Philipine and Chinese forums ;). I know why you have vote from Bangladeshis.

they are my friends. i spend a lot of time in their forums. btw...ask the mod to let me vote again, so that i can vote for you too.

Wow...that makes absolutely no sense.

Well, I guess someone raised the same point agianst IU as well, that he is never spotted on South Indian forums.. Well?

Not true. I do post new projects in the Hyderabad forum sometimes and in the B'lore forum from time to time. I don't search for projects from Chennai, trivandrum and Cochin cos there's a whole army of more informed and gung-ho members who have probably already discussed renders and plans for a specific project.


India101, Bhargavsura, Mihir and Kewl Batty - You folks don't need to be disheartened. You're all assets to the forum and if I become the mod, I'll look into implementing your uber-awesome ideas that were part of your manifestos. There are some points that can be implemented right away and don't need any mod powers. So for the greater interest of the forum will you soon proceed doing so?

Todscreen - You have just won the internetz for having such a diverse voter base. http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/9274/happyd.gif

We have only put in names of people who sent us a pm saying that they wish to become a moderator. The only person I am not sure of is ferrari_fan. He seemed to be interested only if India101 was. But he did not send us any pm. So I have not included his name.

I don't understand this. He was only interested if I was? Why, doesn't he want me to be a mod or something?

i am guessing that niknak and sakrishna are the alter ego names of Bhagravsura.

NIKnak I don't know.
But the three letters viz. NIK appears or had appeared in many IDs.

I know SA Krishna personally. He is a real gentleman from Kottayam in Kerala. He is a very straight person and has no fake IDs.

India101, Bhargavsura, Mihir and Kewl Batty - You folks don't need to be disheartened.

Aww. You could make me feel better by voting for me :tongue3:

NIKnak I don't know.
But the three letters viz. NIK appears or had appeared in many IDs.

I know SA Krishna personally. He is a real gentleman from Kottayam in Kerala. He is a very straight person and has no fake IDs.

Jaleel, you are making the grave error of taking todscreen's posts seriously.

Aww. You could make me feel better by voting for me :tongue3:

But then the other contestants would feel left out. India101, you've always got my support with everything related to the betterment of the forum.

i am guessing that niknak and sakrishna are the alter ego names of Bhagravsura.

Actually, I was confused b/w ajaypp, India101,IU and bhargavsura -whom to vote for. But when I visited this thread, I cud c that Bhargavsura was the only one without any vote. So I wanted to change the figure frm 0 to 1.That's why I voted for him.

To mods: can I vote once more?:nuts::):lol:

NIKnak I don't know.
But the three letters viz. NIK appears or had appeared in many IDs.

I know SA Krishna personally. He is a real gentleman from Kottayam in Kerala. He is a very straight person and has no fake IDs.

thanks for setting that straight.


SA Krishna, sorry that i every doubted you to be the same person as bhagrav. I will be happy to provide you with free consultation.

Niknak, on the other hand. hmmmmmmmm

i didn't think he was alive. I have to investigate this one. we can't have more than 1 username for one person. I would like to setup an investigative team. I will call it NikSura's Japanese Combo File. Who wants to join this brave team?

NIKnak I don't know.
But the three letters viz. NIK appears or had appeared in many IDs.

I know SA Krishna personally. He is a real gentleman from Kottayam in Kerala. He is a very straight person and has no fake IDs.

Thanx for defending me Jaleelikka.

thanks for setting that straight.

It's OK.Hereafter, pls don't jump to conclusions.

Actually, I was confused b/w ajaypp, India101,IU and bhargavsura -whom to vote for. But when I visited this thread, I cud c that Bhargavsura was the only one without any vote. So I wanted to change the figure frm 0 to 1.That's y I voted for him.


Uh...i should have waited then you might have voted for me.

No its not. Do you even know the 10 commandments?

:lol:

Even though it says tod has 9 votes he really only has 1. Internationl forumers votes do not count.

Toddy you're such a kid you're making all the Bangladeshis vote for you

^^

stop being jealous guys.. :lol:

tod is 3d :shocked:

hes got 8 votes!! 1 was fine , 2 ok ....3 maybe...........but 8 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

:eek2:

^^
:lol:


Any chances of a coalition government.. ?

I can already see todermal banna taking the place of lalu yadav...

^^
:lol:


Any chances of a coalition government.. ?

well,i will go with whoever supports Tod :lol:

Well, its 30-35 now ;)

India101, dont get disheartened buddy, there has been an obvious vote-pooling towards Ajay and IU and others just got left out. You still remain an asset to the forum, both here and on the Int'l forum. Keep the good work going. :)

^Its alright. I'm supporting IU now. Thanks anyway.

Only 81 votes. Someone has to go into the TN subforum. Thats where all the forumers are.

How the hell does todscreen have 9 votes?

Voted for IU, by the way. Good luck, bhai

^5 of tods votes are Bangladeshis. Other 4 are from other countries. Jodhpur is the only SSCi forumer that voted for him.

now its 10 :|

^But that guy ain't Bangladeshi, he's Vietnamese :|

It was really a hard decision for me to make. In the end I had to choose the one who, I feel, has selflessly contributed the most towards SSCi. I wish all the candidates very best of luck.

It's OK.Hereafter, pls don't jump to conclusions.

Now I think, it is me who jumped into conclusions.
Investigations still ongoing.

Jaleel, you are making the grave error of taking todscreen's posts seriously.

Appadiya?

Yay! A vote for me! Thanks a heap RatJones :hug:

oh my days! a sudden change just made batty banna third!!! woh woh woh.. it looks like banna did some background campaigning.... anyway we have to get todermal banna in the third place... vote for todermal banna..!!

Ah now the Chennai/TN forums come alive and Kewl Batty starts to catch up.

And the a lot for the vote Street :)

Also to foriegners votes count or not?

I donot think phoren voters should count

They don't count.

umhhh as far as I know they count..... mods haven't banned them.. and india101 you'll be left with 1 vote if foreign ones are not counted so shhhhh

If I am right this is the rule specified prior to the poll..

2) We will expect only regular participants and contributors to the India forum to participate in the poll.

Hey, is there a dark horse in the race now? KB has broken late..
39-34-27! :applause:

This is getting exciting. Hope the candidates are campaigning through pms to get more votes. There are 200+ regular members in SSC India. So there are many more votes at stake.

I have put in an announcement also. If you guys wish we can put up a message in each of the popular threads as well like Airport and Aviation, Railways etc...

As far as which votes count and which don't, we will decide that in consultation with all the contestants. We had already given some guidelines. So let's avoid making a public issue of that right now.

Out of 200+ SSCi members, already 126 have casted their votes. So, its 60%+ voting registered so far.

Better than the national average.:lol:

kewl has gained a momentum:)

^^
After winning mod shud give the freebies to those voted them:lol::lol:

31-36-41 Getting Closer:nuts:

wft has happened in here :shocked:

third front has surely emerged...... :horse:

hmmm...gaps getting narrower:)

WHY the hell is todscreen up he is a troll.

Indiansunite all the way

I posted this in many of the popular threads.

Hope it will bring many other voters to this poll.

WHY the hell is todscreen up he is a troll.

can we ban this european?

right batty we need to do some serious stuff here.... how much rishwat will you take to transfer your votes to banna... if that's not possible then how about sharing the power? by sharing I mean todu can do all the work and you can relax ;)

^^ Sun, the closing date was announced as 16th earlier. :okay:

You are right.

Now I have to go and change the posts.

:ohno:

I like the vote count as it is, i hope no drastic change as we have seen with kewl batty happens again. I want IndiansUnite to winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!

Suncity, can we lock the polls...i am afraid, that more people voting might change the voting spectrum.

btw...kewl batty you are cool too.

You are right.

Now I have to go and change the posts.

:ohno:

^^ humongous work there :lol:

How cool Kewl Batty has descended upon the two main contestants! I'm impressed ;)
He is closing in on Ajay, too close for comfort.. :ohno:

32-36-47 as of now.
I think Sun's post will bring in a deluge of fresh voters.

^^ humongous work there :lol:

I think I am done. Thanks to Scorpiogenius. If you guys notice any place I missed, let me know.

I will post some more later in some remaining popular threads.

^Can't you just make an announcement?

Or better - make voting compulsory - give an automatic infraction to all those who haven't voted yet lol.

The idea is to give him more responsibility so that he becomes a less of a pain in the butt. & be amongst the few good men. just their elite company might make a better human being out of him. :lol:

So far, looks like it aint working. :)

See the original discussion thread on this subject. Only FF can answer your question though I think he was just making a casual comment.

Kewl batty votes seen steady raise. At this time just one more vote for tie between Ajay and Kewl.

Ajay just scooted ahead by 5 in a very sudden burst and is only 7 behind IU

It would be interesting to see if we do get some more voters in.

It worked Sun! :applause: Your spamming worked :lol::lol:

46-51-58 now, 45 voters turned out after you send out the thread-to-thread invitation

^^Yeah its very close now. Even I gained a few more votes.

the competition is surely heating up. KB turned out to be the dark horse.

Kudos to all for doing all the needful to garner votes. May the best person win :)

lol..
tod voted for Indiansunite :lol:

I would like to thank CNN, NBC, Fox, and BBC for doing such a wonderful job covering my half of the election.


In the same spirits, I would like to encourage you all to give every other candidate of this election the same respect and spotlight you have given me. Thank you.

^^
:lol:

todu I have done campaigning for you... :sly: oh well ground workers like me always get ignored by political leaders.. :(

Jodhu ur todu had already changed the party before u voted. He voted for IU

60-63-74 now! Sun's posts clearly bringing in masses to the booth :lol:

225 members have voted already, whats the strength of this Indian forum? Any way to find out?

Is Jai a Mod already?

^No and he cant be one right now.

Yes, it would be interesting to know that indeed. I am still seeing many forumers who are posting but not voting. So the spamming isn't reaching everyone.

:lol:

^No and he cant be one right now.

May I know why?

^^

Now the election is going on, he had not submitted his nomination papers as a candidate. So not in the panel.

IU has not voted for himself as yet - keeping it for a tie-break situation are ya !!

Kewl Batty has not voted either.

So 3 voting blocs have emerged. The TN bloc, the Kerala bloc, and the "others" bloc

So 3 voting blocs have emerged. The TN bloc, the Kerala bloc, and the "others" bloc

that was exactly running in my mind....

Looks like CPI, DMK & Kangress/BJP

And the "todscreen" bloc - unique for its "international" following lol.

IndiansUnite: want him to win. He has been a fantastic contributor to the forum so far. His services has only been 2nd to Jai in digging out rare images, renderings & obscure projects. Nice to see him have 20+ votes lead. He should win. He has my vote. BTW, IU hasnt voted yet. I'd like to see him caste a deciding vote for himself on July 16th if it ever comes down to that.

AjayPP: again a great contributor but may have lot more regional influence than at national level. seems like he got some strong fan following. He is a sure shot to win but Kewl Batty has spoiled his party big time.

Kewl Batty: Dont know much about the guy but has been an absolute surprise so far. tieing AjayPP. looks like Tamil & south vote is evenly split giving INDIANSUNITE a sure shot at victory. I did not expected this at all.

Todscreen: Boy oh Boy!! what a surprise. surviving several home calls of BAN & TROLL from fellow countrymen. Kid emerges from the ashes as a darling of neighboring country. todscreen proved one prevailing SSC forum theory wrong all the way. He isnt pain in the butt for everyone, only his fellow countrymen's butts that is. :lol::lol::lol:

India101: His contribution has been amazing but looks like it hasn't made up for his lack of seniority. He has got to have patience & I think his time will come. for some reason, I expected more votes for him. maybe its 1 year too early.

^I've been here longer than Kewl Batty and I don't even come close to him in votes :lol:

^I've been here longer than Kewl Batty and I don't even come close to him in votes :lol:

Unfortunately, you had been competing on national level with the likes of IU/AjayPP/Bhargavsura. Don't get me wrong but these guys have been on the scene for quite a while and have contributed immensely just like you. Had you competed at regional level I am sure you would've been an extremely tough competitor.

Don't be upset Buddy, You'll have your time in the sun. Honestly, I didn't knew KB before the election but I do know you and so do many others. Thats what matters.

^I'll wait for next time. Sun, Sudeesh when do you plan on retiring from being a mod :D


:jk:

IndiansUnite - 87
Kewl Batty / Ajaypp - 70

So 3 voting blocs have emerged. The TN bloc, the Kerala bloc, and the "others" bloc

wat about IU

mihir has no vote excluding his vote so someone can vote for him
If ajay didt come into play kewl can easily win

mihir has no vote excluding his vote so someone can vote for him
If ajay didt come into play kewl can easily win

Sorry Natarajan, If Ajay wasn't in contention then the votes from the Kerala section would've fallen in for IU. IU would've crossed 150 votes by now as most of the Kerala forumers would've voted for him. Same principle applies for KB too. Ajay and KB has managed to split out IU votes.

Ajay's votes have come from Trivandrum forum primarily, and KB's from the whole of TN forum. Just shows how strong the Trivandrum sub-forum really is in SSC.:)

:edit: :D

BTW,can we make Kewl Batty's short form name Kewl, KB confusing me withanother forumer.

so we have a minimum of 271 confirmed members in the Indian sub forum :)

since kerala is south india i thought they will support kewl :) anyway i didt vote on the basis of region( but based on development,tolerance,mingling with all members)
:)

^^ Kewl has a great knack of getting info about new projects....He has posted valuable info on topics like High Speed Circular Corridor and the Tech Park Projects in the Chennai subforum.

I have not visited the TVM subforum, but i guess Ajaypp is a great contributor too.

So these two can assert their subforum votes, the regional votes aren't wasted.

Anyway, it looks like IU all the way....Indians have United for IndiansUnite

hmmm....so Indiansunite has not yet voted....

Looks like IU's trying to collect funds for the television sets....
will pm you my address and preference shortly....i hope shipping's included....

Or have you given false hopes like our ministers and took off...

^^

Its not television.

IU will give TVU software for everyone who want to see Indian television channels online. :lol:

!!!! Damn!!! IU is batting on 95 about to hit Century mark. Begining of the poll, I never thought a single mod aspirant can cross 100 votes. This shows the strenght of SSC India forum. When it comes to voting, everyone shows up. :)

Poor Mihir. He might have to forfeit his candidature fees.

IU will give TVU software for everyone who want to see Indian television channels online. :lol:

haha..you know what? I was actually thinking of gifting the sopcast executable installation file but that would have been cheap on my part :tongue3:. So a TV it is. Do follow the instructions I gave to axw11.

Comeon IU! Hit a sixer lol.

It has become a sticky wicket and the runs have dried up. Sun and Sudheesh could provide the necessary impetus.

cheers and it's good to see that KB335ci2 and dhim100 agree to something atleast ;)



Hahaha...You are a good observer. I was the first one to vote and I guess I will be the first to congratulate you...I know it's kinda early, hope it does not backfire on me. ;) Congrats.

Guess Jai didin't want to become a moderator?
IndiansUnite has been around for long and has contributed a lot.Not a fan of his Avatar though :lol: Kelly by any chance?
AjayPP has been around a lot but mostly as a regional player.KewlBatty should wait for a few more years.
Toddscreen? Ofcourse if we were voting for official forum stand up comic!:lol:

IndiansUnite: want him to win. He has been a fantastic contributor to the forum so far. His services has only been 2nd to Jai in digging out rare images, renderings & obscure projects.

IU, congrats on hitting century:)

Thanks for counting me in :)

Don't worry Bhargav. We all love you :)

I think your ID is a disadvantage. "IndiansUnite" works as a great campaign slogan. :lol:

Thanks for counting me in :)

:lol:

I never thought we have these much forumers, and the number seems to be growing significantly every month. I can still count a conspicuous few who haven't voted yet :)

congrats IU on century
it is like almost winning if the person whom we vote wins

Don't worry Bhargav. We all love you :)

I think your ID is a disadvantage. "IndiansUnite" works as a great campaign slogan. :lol:

May be next time, I should write MarathisUnite when the "ID-revamp" offer comes. May be I can get a support of the locals then, eh? :lol:. Perhaps Raj Thackeray himself would vote for me.

Just kidding.

^^ - Lol, good one there!

IU, looks you the man! :)

Let me see if I can find a few more votes somewhere in my toga, but looks like a done deal!

Hey, at least we know that SSC India has over 300 members! :D

Yeah. It's good. Kewl, that was a good surprise from you. You were very close with Ajay.

Congrats IU!!! You deserved to be a mod. Hopefully we will now see more cleaning up of the Chaibar.

Congrats IU!!! You deserved to be a mod. Hopefully we will now see more cleaning up of the Chaibar.

Why? The Chaibar is pretty orderly.

I don't see the urgent need for change - moderation in the Indian forum has been pretty tight, and there are few to no inflammatory posts / topics allowed. There's no need to get more stringent, we should keep it as it is.

Or we could go the path of the DLM ;)

^Yeah. I fail to see why Chaibar needs a "cleanup". Chaibar is meant to be random and disorganized.

Also, moderation here is already pretty heavy. Even mildly offensive comments disappear without a trace.

Cancelled - inadvertent double post.
Mods please delete.

Can we stop non-Indians from voting? I see a few votes from "foreigners"

Also raises the natural suspicion - Are non-Indian voting blocks (who aren't interested in to Indian forums) voting for Indians or non-Indians ?.

P.S. 'Indians' there implied Indians by roots/nationality, and also people who are truly interested in India.

That makes no sense cause all the candidates are Indians.

That makes no sense cause all the candidates are Indians.

I could post on just about any nation's SSC forum. No way to verify my nationality. Except, my posts will reveal if i really know anything about India or if i am interested in Indian affairs/issues, OR if i am just using the forum for past time and posting nothing useful about India. Unable to say more unfortunately.

Please correct me on any point if i am wrong.

P.S: This post is only touches on ".. all the candidates are Indians". However anybody is perfectly free to post anywhere. My previous post was only about voting/candidates.

So you suspect that one of the candidates is an impostor?

So you suspect that one of the candidates is an impostor?

I don't want to use the word "imposter". Since the question of nationality of voters was raised by a few, the question of candidates came naturally to my mind. If this merits any thought, the mods will deal with it. May i end it there before it gets contentious, please.

lol alright. Basically you think our Todermal here is not Indian. :cheers:

I don't see any candidate whose candidacy is questionable. I guess anybody can contest but it is not a cause of worry because the votes of foreigners will be considered invalid which assures that only a deserving candidate will win. I don't see the possibility of the "Non-Indian" winning. But if he actively participates in the India forums and contributes positively, then sure, why not? Anyway, that is highly implausible in an international forums like SSC.

And about cleaning up the Chaibar threads, I also don't feel the need to do that. It is sometimes fun to go back through the old threads and see what had been discussed and bickered about. There are quite some informative ones too. IMO, it should be cleaned only if the SSC servers couldn't handle the website's size anymore and warrants some files to be deleted. Morever, by not doing so, the post count of our forums will increase (to registered users) :D The final decision is, of course, in the hands of the mods.

The posts in the Chaibar does not count, so the post count won't increase as Zhiemi suggested.

^^

An individual's post wouldn't increase, but the India forums' post count would, provided you view SSC's page logged in with your user account. That's what I meant.

You're the 7th person to ask me that. I have nothing to do with Kelly or anything related to IU. I do have a cousin who goes there, but that's about it.

IU, congrats on hitting century:)

Cheers Sudheesh

congrats IU on century

Cheers Natrajan and thanks for voting!

IU, looks you the man! :)

Cheers Ajay. I'd like to congratulate you as well for all that you've achieved.
:drunk:

Congrats IU!!! You deserved to be a mod. Hopefully we will now see more cleaning up of the Chaibar.

Cheers Bhargav. You're doing a good job on the forum. However could you please imageshack all those HT articles you post? :lol: It'll be good for the forum since who knows if they're taken off after an year or something? Boss, If you could do that from now on, then that'll be great.

I think IU meant that theirs too many sticky threads in the Chaibar.

Affirmative. Old threads and posts will stay in the chaibar. There's a lot of sticky clutter in the chaibar that can be sent to the renamed "India Forum issues and Archive" subforum.

Anyway congratulations on be the new mod of SSCi. I feel you will make a better mod than I.

I know man. I always think about it. But as soon as I get with my "real stuff", will dedicate more time to this and add the HT articles through IS. Will try to do it as much as I can from now on.

:cheers:

Cool. Congrats, IU.

I think with more and more participation of Indians in the forum and the number of people increasing every months, polls on a new mod for the forum should be kept once every year. But again that also depends on how much is the increase in the number of forumers and how many remain active.

Just a thought here.

You're the 7th person to ask me that. I have nothing to do with Kelly or anything related to IU. I do have a cousin who goes there, but that's about it.


Cool.Congrats buddy.Keep up the good work!

BTW, Sudheesh- my note was based on my observations following this forum for 4 years -though not as an active participant (interested to know about infrastructure progress in our motherland but not much to contribute being so far away for so many years).I think it was relevant when a personal selection like this comes up.Why did you sensor it?

IU congrats for taking new mod position.:cheer:

LCD TV is for all the voters?

congratulations!!! :banana::banana:

now how much rishwat would it take to influence you... :naughty: now don't so no... cause once suncity refused to take some friendly chai pani and I set todermal after him... poor guy... still suffering.... same could happen to you... so rishwat or todermal? you decide..

IU, you have got 101 votes, according to your plank, you are about to be $40,400 short.

(figures in accordance to LCD tvs worth $400 each)

You know IU might not win. Kewl Batty might catch up. Hes only 11 votes behind.

What? the date of closing the poll has been revised to 17 july instead of 16th at the last moment?It means still we dont know who is gonna win?

theres more time? oh no..kewl batty is catching up with IU.

i hope it doesn't end in a tie?

mods, what do we do in case of a tie?

Tommorow it closes

Hi Suncity,

when shall the results be finalised?

Cheers
jals

No objection there! :cheers:

Congratulations to IndiansUnite. We are all eager to see your name in the darker shade and in italics ;)

All the best to you and hope you'll be able to deliver your promise (wrt the TVs lol..)

The polls are now closed.

Thanks to all participants for the tremendous response to the polls.

Thanks to all the contestants. Looks like it was a pretty exciting contest.

We will declare the official results later on.

307 voters! You think 80-90% of the India forumers have voted? Its marvellous...

Waiting for the official announcement! :)

Thanks guys for your great support all the way to the 2nd place! :)
:applause:

Go IU!! :cheers1:

Congrats to you and IU!!!

overall India IF 450 has put a score of 307....with few extras by tods...:lol:

congrats IU...:)
