Would any other forumers be interested in the addition of a "history discussion'-type subforum in the historical section of the forum? Threads for discussion of various political, social and economic aspects of India's history could go there.

I'd definitely frequent it, and if we've got enough likeminded folks perhaps we can pressurize our mods to add said section in.

A concern pointed out by some forumers in threads is posts getting randomly deleted without knowing the reason why. I agree with the comment made by a mod ( sudheeshnairs) regarding lack of time and the fact that this is not a paid job, which makes all the more sense to be wary before deleting or editing seemingly wrong or unwanted posts. I have noticed that deleting posts does little to discourage any forumer from posting again ( since in many cases the forumer may not know why their post was edited/deleted) , hence it is not the right solution.

The mod may communicate the issue individually to the forumer ( or take help of some other forumer) and make an attempt to sort out the issue. If things do not improve , what can perhaps work is a joint discussion amongst moderators and then deleting ( if such is the agreement) all the posts and giving a sound warning/brigging.

With Marathaman gone, the brilliant India - One picture per post thread in the General Photography sub-forum will eventually perish. Now, the rest of us could continue updating it with pictures on a regular basis but we wouldn't know where to start considering the fact that the OP had a systemised way of covering all the various places of interest without repetition.

What triggered his ban?

***sudheeshnairs*** · March 29th, 2009, 05:47 PM

Perhaps something outside Indian Forum. Anyway this is a news for me. I do not tread outside Indian forums nor do have the time. Knew that there were some issues from other fellow mods

india · March 29th, 2009, 06:51 PM

Can the ban be revoked? By an Indian mod maybe?

phaedrus · March 30th, 2009, 04:44 PM

yeah, wonder what happened to him.
get maratha back!

india · March 31st, 2009, 06:08 AM

Legitimate questions get deleted before they're even properly answered, huh? Oh well, SSC-I has its share of crazy people.

Anyway, my question was - "Can Marathaman's ban be revoked?"

India101 · March 31st, 2009, 07:15 AM

I think we can. We got Mahratta back after he was banned so can we get Marathaman back?

castlerock · March 31st, 2009, 02:04 PM

I think he was banned because he posted the map of India with every post of 'India One Pic a day'. I read about him saying there is a rule against posting maps in the forum. Maybe somebody objected.
Anyways I loved the work he did in that thread. He must be have having quite a fan-base already :-). Can't our mods get him back somehow?

Unconsciousfocus · March 31st, 2009, 02:21 PM

Where is my question? This is stupid, if you can't answer or don't want to answer it, just delete it..., good going.

I do not think posting the map is the reason. As I said earlier, I am not much aware of whats happening outside Indian Forum, since I am not interested as well as not have time. But I got a feedback from other Indian mods that he is liable to get banned.

I have not tried 'revoking a ban', but it could be possible. But normally a decision is made by a MOD, then it is respected by all. Otherwise it would be chaos of banning and unbanning.

I think that banning must have been done by a neutral mod.

@ India: I do not think any legitimate questions were deleted.

@unconsciousfocus: I think your specific question was deleted because it had reference to 'neighbours'.

india · March 31st, 2009, 04:04 PM

Thanks for the clarification, sudheeshnairs. However, my first post on this issue and your response to it including that of couple of others' were indeed (accidentally?) deleted for a brief period of time. They've now been reinstated, though.

I think on the basis of his immense contribution to that thread alone Marathaman should be given another chance.

So? Am I not allowed to talk about the loving neighbours here? Whenever I have posted there (I guess only thrice so far), it was in response to something which was provocative. If their mods don't take any action against their own forumers, what is your problem in answering a simple question?
