The next step - adding helpful hands to RC India

anwar · January 24, 2011, 10:28:47 AM

Since we are averaging over 130 posts per day (it has gone over 200 in some days!), it is about time we enlisted some help with maintaining RC India. So I am going to SLOWLY add some people to help me with the following tasks, along with the associated rules.

1. The help is limited to the following tasks : Removing unnecessary quotes from replies, moving topics to the right boards & fix external links in posts that are not working. For now, these and ONLY these are the tasks that are to be performed.

2. Even at the slightest hint of any conflict (which may or may not involve the mod) in a thread, he will NO LONGER make any modifications to that particular thread. It has to be brought to my notice. This is to protect the moderator's credibility, and the sanity of the forum.

3. Selection and revocation of moderatorship is strictly a personal decision of mine, kindly do not question either (nor request the same). If anyone's mod status is revoked, I request in advance that such action may not be held against any goodwill that I enjoy with the said person.

4. If anyone has any comment/complaint about any moderator's actions, please INFORM ME IN PRIVATE, via PM. We are all human, and make mistakes from time to time, but that does not reflect our true good nature.

I request everyone's co-operation with this process.

I am hereby requesting Vinay to be the first moderator on RC India. If he is OK with the above rules, he may accept the same publicly here.

Regarding reply #3: Selected moderator must read first message from Anwar.

Hey Vinay! Congrats man... hope you would show some mercy to the extremist post of yours truly oldest RC friend !

A timely step Anwar. hope you get more helping hands to continue the good work. Hail RCI.

Siddharth · January 24, 2011, 02:02:47 PM

Hi Anwar,

We dont mind helping out in the car section. let me know if that is required.

anwar · January 24, 2011, 02:12:52 PM

Appreciate all the offers and interest. Basically, it is a clerical job (sorry Vinay

) !

Please do continue helping one another, especially beginners (mostly by guiding them to existing posts, and training them to use the "Search" functionality and use of the "Gems" list).

vinay · January 24, 2011, 02:37:51 PM

Thanks Anwar for the offering, Whether its a clerical or not its really special to be a MOD, and I MEAN it.

It would be really fun to see all the 3 buttons - quote -modify - split on all posts including yours, which Iam already seeing!

I would be really happy to work on the really most interesting hobby forums.

But Unfortunately my work nature and the time I get does not really allow me to go through even 1/4 of the posts that are posted here per day.

I can see may people here on RCI with potential to this and More and really be a HELPING HAND to you!

All I asked for is to authorize me to edit the first post of the heli config thread. and thats all I would need

anwar · January 24, 2011, 02:47:25 PM

You do the 25%, I will do the 75% ! Until we add more people to split it up further

vinay · January 24, 2011, 02:52:44 PM

Sure when ever I can, but it would be 10 % some times and 30% some times then dont complain.

iamahuman · January 25, 2011, 06:25:12 PM

Congrats Vinay.

I would love to help in the moderation of the 'Cars' section along with Siddharth.(I know,I just broke a rule)

vinay · January 25, 2011, 07:47:40 PM

And Anwar bhaiiya its about time you got some help with the forum.. We all know how hard you work to keep this forum up and running any we are really grateful for it.. I especially love the way you somehow always manage to defuse explosive situations.. Long live RCI!

anwar · January 25, 2011, 10:19:38 PM

Unfortunately today was one of the saddest days for me on this forum

PS: If you don't know why already, I would prefer NOT to discuss it at all !

speedracer · January 25, 2011, 10:24:45 PM

we know because of arpit.......

medicineman1987 · January 25, 2011, 10:40:30 PM

Oh man! I was on duty yesterday so didn't know.. I just went through that thread

santhosh · January 25, 2011, 10:42:25 PM

time for him to mature, RCI is not a local chat room

speedracer · January 25, 2011, 11:02:41 PM

he is a kind of spoilt brat!!!!

anwar · January 25, 2011, 11:09:30 PM

Please... no further comments on this. There is no need for anyone else to get involved.

People snap, whether they are right or wrong

rajathv8 · January 25, 2011, 11:26:40 PM
