[santhosh]

@Santhosh & Srini I'm ok with the job but since I keep touring, I need to find a more effective means to browse than my clumsy mobile.

Captain, get yourself an Android Phone or an IPhone and use the Tapatalk app.... Browsing HFV is a breeze and if you have this. Tapatalk for iPhone even has features for moderating, not sure about the Android version though.

 

[denom]

Hi all,

Glad that fellow HFV members have finally started nominating their choices. Keep it up
Let us all look forward to a positive outcome of this thread at the earliest.

Supermod, would appreciate if you would pls respond now by means of setting up a poll for taking this to the next step.

Over to you Supermod

 

[trittya]

Guys let us not propose others as MOD. members who are interested in taking responsibility of MOD let them come forward themselves, appointment decision can be taken by Super MOD

DENOM:you have started this thread asking members to nominate the mod's

obliging you i will propose THAD.E from south, TRITTAYA from north.

T

Oh well, Ahem! Well, what do I say here?

Firstly, my profound thanks to Musicmaya for proposing my name. Coming from a gentleman as senior as him, I do take it as a compliment, though I do admit that I had never thought on these lines till I read about him recommending me.

Well yes, this forum definitely needs someone from the North who can act as a bridge of sorts since we now have a lot of members from thereabouts.

A few lines about yours truly

I have an edge over many N Indians, in that in my line of work, I have worked with a great degree of success with people from the South and in fact, from all over the country.

Technically, I am NOT better than MANY but better than MOST, here on HFV, especially in the budget audio field.

But I do have an edge when it comes to administration, passion for audio, tact and the ability to amicably put myself in the other person's shoes and put across my/our point of view in the overall interest of the forum. The administrative/leadership aspects are like second nature to me in my line of work. That, naturally, is inherent to my job as is dealing with people from all strata of society.

Next, I have no commercial interests, whatsoever, in the audio or advertisement realm and WILL NOT take any remuneration for my efforts in either cash or kind. I am a firm believer in the indisputable maxim that

KHABAR AUR KHUSHI BAANT-NE SE BADH-TI HAI
(INFO and HAPPINESS multiply WHEN SHARED)


I also do believe in the simple philosophy of keeping it simple (KISS) as also, MORE FOR LESS as I really do NOt have much money to splurg/spend on so-called "hi-end" stuff. That does a lot of good to budget audiophiles which is where max volume of sales take place LIKE THE MARUTI 800 or now, the ALTO, LOL.

Also, I happen to be in telephonic/personal contact (read GOOD FRIENDS with) with many FMs especially more of those from the North.This shall be an asset to the forum in wake of the fact of the goodwill that I have been accorded by members from all over India.

My endeavour shall be to facilitate guidance, advice and "know-how"
(Have some reckonable DIY talents incl cooking, LOL)
through this forum especially for the FMs from the North and THE North-east(LOVE IT, as lifewater and harsh would testify, LOL), in which they have been sadly lacking as on date.

I also have served and worked with people from the North-east where again I know and am friends with lots of people who love their music, be it Shillong, Dimapur, Gangtok, Guwahati, Siliguri or Imphal. I have lived about ten years in the North-East and thereabouts, three in Goa which is much less than what I have lived in North India.

Basically, I, at heart am a combination of a Goan and an Assamese/North-Easterner. Many of my North-Indian brethren may not take kindly to this statement but I choose to re-assure with the fact that I am proud to be a DESI North Indian as also that you can take a North Indian out of North India but you cant take North India out of a North Indian or an INDIAN, for that matter. . . .

The most important word here is INDIAN,
heck even Columbus came looking for us, lost his way and landed up wrong in what is now the deplorable US of A.

The Americans, too, chose to name an ICONIC motorcycle marque after us, remember??? as also that their most successful product was "badged" as the INDIAN CHIEF. Look here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_(motorcycle)
http://www.indianmotorcycle.com/ind...cles&category=Motorcycles&submenu=Motorcycles

One last thing about me, POWER does not go to my HEAD, I HAVE WIELDED ENOUGH POWER SO AS TO NOT LET IT CORRUPT, even minutely so . . . . .

I do realize that this is beginning to sound like a political party's election manifesto and that does make me feel very uncomfortable a I am not used to making this kind of talk. I am, in fact at terrible risk of being unduly perceived as CONCEITED . . .
Nevertheless, its been done, already and AFAIK its the truth, ENOUGH SAID.

As is customary in a true democracy and in keeping with the thread title, I would like to cast my vote for the new matadors, oops, moderators, LOL.

(In RANDOM order and as a result of my [limited] interaction with other unknown BUT VERY capable and learned FMs)

South India:-
Capt Rajesh, Santhosh and Thad E Ginathom.

Central India:-
Denom, Akshay Jha and Hemantwaghe

North (and most of the rest of India except NE) India:-
Malvai and Ashokhifi (OTHER THAN I, OF COURSE, LOL)

Northeast:-
Lifewater and Moktan (OTHER THAN I, OF COURSE, LOL)

I do hope, wish and pray that the VERY best person gets appointed in all categories/regions.

At the end of the day, its the forum, our beloved HFV and its members that ought to benefit the MOSTand NOT any individual. We need a great degree of selflessness and maturity for that. AMEN.

Warm Regards as ever, All FMs

 

[anm]

sorry I am not able to understand why we need moderators from different regions? This is an internet forum and if all capable people are in mumbai for instance, let them be moderators.

We need mods from different regions because we need to suggest to our FMs where to go to audition/buy what they want to shortlist/procure with minimum possible effort and expenditure, for example, being a Delhi-ite, I can guide FMs on who to contact for repair/servicing/overhaul of a valve/vintage piece of equipment. A FM in Mumbai would be be best suited for that kind of advice within the domain of his own reach and knowledge.

If we want to have Pan-Indian (read subcontinental/global) presence, we need to have mods likewise. Why do you think Microsoft has an office in India, LOL?

WE, as members of this forum, need to evolve and THINK-OUT-OF-THE-BOX.
Let us Think wide and dream far, so that WE have MAX chances of our dreams coming true, even if its in our very own small (but very special) ways.

Steve Jobs of APPLE, Inc is an example. (RIP! God bless his talented soul)

Cheerio

 

[Thad E Ginathom]

Guys, there are plenty of you, with plenty of knowledge, a light touch in writing and dealing with other people especially when we start to get heated, and good knowledge of the subject as well.

Please do not mention my my name. I'm full of hints on the subject, yes, because I have done it before --- but no more moderating for me until I come up with my own forum. And, as I am a better reactive writer than proactive, that probably won't happen.

Regions don't matter, until stuff goes international, and time zones have to be covered --- but a spread of regional origin does have the potential of bringing in different viewpoints and ways of thinking. I know, for instance, from other international forums, how someone from one country doesn't understand the sense of humour of someone from another.

The most important thing is that the existing mods and the boss are able to have a good, friendly, working relationship with any newcomers.

 

[Bluu]

But we all love you Nick! :lol:

With your prior experience in the field, maybe you can be a reference for new moderators as they learn the ropes?

 

[anm]

guiding where to go for audition is not a moderators' job. That every forum member should do to give back what he has got from this forum.

If guys need to be identified as "local" experts, that is something other than moderators.

Yeah, Anm, you are right in a way. Maybe I was/am looking at it more from a "meaningful contributor" point of view, too, which in effect, is something other than moderation. Nothing wrong if someone can do both, though, I guess.

Cheers

 

[venkatcr]

The forum should have MOD'S from every part of the country.not restricted to south alone...

Well yes, this forum definitely needs someone from the North

Wonderful!! And while we are at it, let us also start seeing people from the east and the west, NE, SE, NW, SW, and as many combinations of the regions as you can. Maybe one from every state? And why leave it there? Why not go the way our politicians do? I am really impressed!!

This thread is going exactly the way of the other threads.

On a serious note, we have interacted with a few people who have been suggested, and they have declined.

Cheers

I don't think so, it is not going like the other way..We can very well know the members thinking and at-last an conclusion can be done if anybody is suitable or willing. Kindly put in thread who are not willing, so others will not keep proposing them.

FOR:-
On a serious note

SHALL WE READ:-
On a less sarcastic note ????

LOL, mate, Good one (from your point of view, ie . . .)

Cheers and Regards

 

[captrajesh]

Good point. BTW, noone called me. Not that I'm desperate to donn the mod cap but the record must be put straight.

 

[srinisundar]

It show's you are scared can't remain all-in-1 printer for ever.....



That's what you are thinking.let the super mod decide on that.....
Surprise surprise......



Hahahahaha. Stop jokin about interacting ...........

Hahahahaha..........

capt the MOD has interacted with few members........OMG he missed you nomination....Internal politics within MOD's

heights of story.... wah wah MOD

let us wait for new story on this.....

So the other-way around really :indifferent14:

 

[vinay]

I see the forum's functioning in order with small issues here and there, which will happen in all fields of life.

There is a lot of guidance from the main moderator and also a lot of advice is given by a host of members though it is a fact that the other 2 moderator's contribution is extremely low with special mention to madbulram.

If the moderators rarely moderate then in a way it is good but when things actually heat up a lot they do come in to douse the flames. It is not true by any standard that they are warning or banning right left center. It is absolutely wrong to say that the moderators are dumping their knowledge on us.

The moderators have near about never gone in a Hitler mode, this statement is not true by any standard and nor do they have a one sided view.

V.

I MEAN NO OFFENSE TO ANY ONE

Denom: well the forum need's active moderation, in terms of functioning..where as the current active moderators are professor's....they let the classroom on their own.....when they are in mood to moderate, they contribute their lessons in form of warnings and banning ...they dump their knowledge, instead of moderating the forum members post's...

We need moderators, who will be fair to all and who will give proper guidance to the members...

We need a LEADER not a HITLER....they should set an example.

we need moderators to participate in meaningful topics rather than one sided views..

we need specialist moderators, rather than all-in-one printer type's

currently i see all the active MOD'S are busy in contributing to posts rather than MODERATING the forum

I REQUEST THE SUPER MOD of this forum to select capable person(S) who can run the forum, show their caliber in efficient smooth running of HVF...




well there are few forum members i know who are inactive on our forum but their caliber in A/V world is topnotch, since they don't have reputation points, you mean to say they cant perform MOD duties?

 

[vinay]

It does not help by any standard to have moderator from every part of the country. If some forum members have a lot of posts by which it is seen that they are capable handlers then they should be considered for a moderator post, let the members be from one city or even staying in the same building.

To take a fresh member as the moderator without seeing their viable writings over a period of time can never be a good idea.

It is quite baseless to say that the moderator is doing a cut copy and paste, if this is true then there should be a continuous evidence and moreover let us imagine that it is true, so what is wrong with the cut copy and paste?

V.

The forum should have MOD'S from every part of the country.not restricted to south alone...

we need fresh talent, we need a leader

SUPER MOD: PLS PLS PLS WE DON'T NEED- GOOGLE MOD'S, CUT-COPY-PASTE MOD'S.

i will propose THAD.E from south, TRITTAYA from north.

[vinay]

The forum can be accessed by everyone so when someone wants to know something, can easily ask at the forum and get all sort of information. Therefore it does not become necessary to have a moderator from different cites/states.

cut copy paste is not such a bad thing, if source is disclosed. In software we always aim to design for reuse

 

[Bluu]

Venkat - Can you please reveal who the members are that you got in touch with? I ask because I saw my name on a few lists and I had volunteered earlier but I have not been approached either. I'm assuming you are PM'ing the candidates.
