Chowk Staff failure..

Posted: Aug 31, 2005 Wed 09:24 am     Views: 53   

The issue here is not salim but the whole unprofessional, childish and downright juvenile Moderating of the site. It seems that this issue of lax moderating comes up every other month and the chowk admin fails again and again to craft proper policies and enforce its policies.

First the chowk staff post shows, as has been pointed out by Ms. Zahra, that chowk is again approaching this issue in a non serious and similarly juvenile manner that they have done before. Mr. Temporal; volunteer or paid should not be allowed to post against any POSTER. It is his and chowk admin’s moral and ethical responsibility to see that he stops that practice.

Mr. Temporal,
I am afraid in your post 241 you mentioned some posters but failed to mention Farzana Versey again. She is one of the most senior writers on this site and she is the target of most vicious attacks on her personal life, her habits and her religious orientation.

The chowk admin has failed to protect her completely. Even on her current article there are posts that no decent person on this site would like to see and it seems that they meet Chowk admin’s approval as they have not been filtered out.

All one or two lines posts that attack her and have nothing to do with the article should be removed immediately. Any post that is irrelevant to the article should not be displayed.

The chowk staff must monitor her board vigilantly and diligently for any transgressions.If the chowk staff and temporal cannot protect Ms. Versey then they have no right to come out and speak for any other woman poster on this site.

I have some proposals for the improvement of this site which I will present shortly.

I hope posters would agree that the site admin has failed in their job and NOW we need to monitor them for their impartial and strict compliance of Chowk’s guideline.

Thanks.
