Whens the poll starting?

Ajaypp · July 6th, 2009, 12:39 PM

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!

My support for you

Marathaman · July 6th, 2009, 03:46 PM

Damn, now IU and Ajaypp are both looking very promising. I'm confused.

***Suncity*** · July 7th, 2009, 02:43 AM

Ajaypp, Bhargavsura, Indiansunite and Todscreen who have expressed a desire to become moderators.

India101 has withdrawn from the polls.

So unless we hear from anyone else, then the above is the final list.

We can create the polls tomorrow.

What about me?

harsh1802 · July 7th, 2009, 03:02 AM

I was just kidding. Good luck to everyone.

bhargavsura · July 7th, 2009, 03:20 AM

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.

bhargavsura · July 7th, 2009, 03:26 AM
