Can we love IC370

India community on orkut has crossed 800k members last month and now is very fastly moving to get 900k members.It feels proud be a member of that community.When I joined it back in 2006 it had only about 250k members .3 years I have spent in the community and India community was never this strict. The number of rules and regulations that have been imposed in that community makes me feel that I am back to my school. There is an official thread for everything and when you post your query in that thread no one replies but when you make a thread for the query, mods delete it. Irony !!

The time I had joined there it was like a bunch of hate mongers and Ad threads.At that time these threads were known as spam threads which killed 75% of time of the mods but still with 6 mods at that time community was running very well and now with 10 moderators it feels like chaos.Every mod is into his own rules and it seems that not all mods agree with each other. Now people fear posting in any of the topic that they may get removed if any of the mod consider it as spaming. Trolling is fun and not every member can spend his time in HC or just fighting over religious issues. It is not all the time that IC video is released or IC awards happen Member want something different and just in a search of finding different they get banned


I know Azam,Vishal,Utkarsh.tushar,Nithya are doing a hard job to keep that community clean and spam free. But if active members have to suffer in it then is it worth it ? U enter IC and what u see : fight and sex - The Ever Hot Topic ! If someone tries to do something different sooner than later, he gets the action. Mods love few buttons: ban, remove, delete.



One thing mods should also know is that no one gives a damn to this community or any other community on orkut or facebook. And if it continues then it will not take much time for this comm to become a passenger train and the comm’s activeness will not be much more than IPFC or IR. Its Just because of so many rules that very less members are left active there and comm’s activeness is as good as any other comm on orkut !! who are active and keep the community alive are their just because they love the community and in return they don’t deserve a ban or remove just because he/she have spammed or a warning coz he/she is not behaving as a particular mod wants. Just think about it there are many communities on orkut but still we are
their coz we are IC ADDICTED



Becoming mod of India community is not a privilege it is a responsibility. Some mod thinks that just because he is a moderator he can utter anything he wants is not at all correct. Many people here consider IC their second home and people like me have found best friends through this community only. Let us love IC370 and not make us feel that IC is boring am just entering here coz I am addicted to it.

PS:Thank you Simran for getting my mistakes corrected :D

khi khi khi ,,,,, all of us know something is wrong but no one can actually pin point what actually is wrong. Its best mods and the owner sort it out, else if members try it, they will be branded as rebels ;)

SSaun said...

But u still got miles to go Anshul ;) All the best for that !!

IC needs a change!
I must be the owner and anshul the mod. The current mods may go for vacation to honolulu they need some fresh air :)

I personally witnessed modds and owner giving the so called final warning to the same guy(profile in particular) for more than 3 times...
but we cant blame modds for this coz they too got personal lives...

They have their personal lives but Why they involve it in IC370

kuch mods solid pakao hai...eg. ghar bar chod ke ...moderating karte hai jaise VT inko salary deta hai ..heheheheh

First change the background......and secondly ignore what you don't like. The simplest strategy.

Orkut and the communities are not worth a Blog for sure. Utilize energy in better things and constructive things.

IC was fun with 6 rules and without those mod threads. The chaos was really fun, the rebel threads, the multiple complaint threads. And mods were friendly with members.

But best time was when community had less than 1lac members, it was just awesome, threads of Austin, DK BK Ganjaman, the wit of Loki, the chat threads that used to get deleted every other week, awesome!

Dude... unlike the Democratic Republic of India, India community is 'owned' by an owner and has not the slightest tinge of real democracy. I hope the members understand this simple fact and stop repeating 'Mod doesn't listen to us'. Because, listening to members is not supposed to be their job responsibility. :) Members views would only matter in case there was a way to impeach the mods. Sadly, there ain't any.

And who are you :P

Anshul, it was only a matter of time before u wrote a blog on IC :D

India Community is so much like India the country ... something is very wrong with it, but one can't pin point what it really is - but what the hell if something's wrong - we'l still like the place anyway - and we'l still crib about it ! :D

Come to think of it .... IC is fun because its all confusion and chaos - and it was more fun earlier cause there was even more confusion and chaos :D

India Community, like India and like life itself isn't perfect !

Perfect is sooo dam boring :P !
