LInk to new shoutbox
Chatbox - Defence Forum India. Note: Currently it's open for all members, but that is going to change
I have the following points to raise:
1) Can you please elaborate as to how you will select who can post on CB?
2) What is the difference between SB & CB. Are they going to co-exist?
3) Request you not to filter out members basing on their number of posts, because I being a new member with a 100 odd post will not be able to be a part of CB or SB for that matter. I request you to please look at the quality of posting the member does and take the decision. I know this would increase your workload however that would be the best way and it would create an equivalent platform for you to judge everyone.
4) I found SB to be a great tool in making new friends on DFI. It helped me settle down. I agree that sometimes we crossed our limits and discussed issues that were not supposed to be discussed on SB, that should not be the reason for you to shut down SB. I miss SB and i am sure other members do as well.
I propose the following alternative:
If you want to control the flow of information on SB, then create a new tab on the SB saying "PRIVATE ROOM" where in if a member wants to discuss something important or personal he can create this PRIVATE DISCUSSION ROOM and invite members he wants to include in his discussion. Other general talks and chit chat can go on in SB as usual.
