Yung sa advertising, you cant advertise or point other members sa online store mo or sa service mo if ever you are the provider/supplier, advertising na kasi naman talaga yun. Magkakaron kasi ng bias eh, kagaya before, somebody started a thread about Korean Cosmetic lenses, mega pa-bida sya and all praises sa cosmetic lenses especially one specific brand na bordering pagssalestalk na kasi may mga linya na sya na "bagay sayo yun" -- as if kita nya kausap nya, so medyo kaduda-duda, when i checked her posts, she has an ad sa Beauty Bazaar selling Geo lenses. Wenks.
Pag sa threads kasi, madaming sasagot sa queries especially if active yung thread, so as much as possible, to be fair sa iba, wag nalang mag-mention na ikaw mismo ang nagbebenta or nagpprovide ng ganung klaseng service, kasi wala ka talagang laban once mabigyan ka ng warning about advertising sa threads coz its like you are marketing narin your service sa discussion boards, para saan pa yung marketplace natin, diba? Pwede naman dun natin ipost instead na sa discussion boards natin babanggitin.
Moderated din ako, dumating pa nga sa point na muted din ako, and some of the warnings I got are questionable too, pero its not fair naman for us to say na hindi lang dedicated ang mga moderators kaya gumulo ang forum.
We got used to the forum being super clean before during Astrodiva days, sige okay na yun but we have to move forward eh, kasi hindi na sila may hawak ng forum na to.
Just so everyone knows, naka-ilang palit po tayo ng Admin kaya hindi po mabilis at magiging madali ang transition period kasi sila mismo, they are trying to familiarize themselves on how the forum works, regarding the moderators, kahit gano pa ka-dedicated ang moderators kung kulang naman sila, edi ganun rin, magiging insufficient parin para ma-address lahat ng concerns natin. Isama mo pa yung mga anonymous na moderators, hindi mo alam kung kanino pwede mag-PM to ask about violations and stuff. Dun ako medyo nalalabuan. Hindi rin tuloy natin alam kung yung mga anonymous na yan e yung mga may tendency maging bias at kaya mamersonal (sorry but I have to be really honest on this one)
If theres one thing na magiging magandang start dito, sana ibalik yung rules dati nila Astrodiva, mas specific kasi yun and mas mahirap malusutan for offenders na tipong once you violate anything, wala ka talagang lusot, wala ka narin itatanong kasi lahat andun na. Thats if may means pa to retrieve those set of rules. Kasi tested na thru time yun eh, namomodify nalang habang tumatagal and pag nakikitaan ng butas. Im sure yun pa lang magiging magandang start na, para guided din even the moderators about whats foul from whats not. Sana rin ireveal who the moderators are, feeling ko mas okay yung ganun na kilala ng members ang moderators.
Wag natin masyado pag-initan the mods, they are doing their "jobs" ng walang compensation whatsoever, kaya ang kailangan talaga natin are dedicated ones na magiging active even without compensation. To be honest, as how I see it, kulang na kulang talaga sila, kung icocompare sa dami ng mga pasaway (kasali ata ako don. rawr) medyo mabigat din talaga responsibility sa mods, so sana madagdagan kahit pano yung moderators. So nasa FN Admin ang responsibility on how she will designate yung tasks ng moderators para mas may balance and mas easier for them to review the whole forum.
One more thing na sana magawan ng paraan agad, newbie restrictions -- sa totoo lang, sila naman most of the time ang mahilig magpost ng mga threads na may existing na pala, nagiging redundant tuloy, ang resulta, yung mga nakasagot na sa original thread, tatamarin magreply. Sa marketplace, sila rin kadalasan ang pasaway, one item per ad, na-spam na ang marketplace. Pwede namang one ad for everything eh. Minsan makikita mo rin magssign up lang para magbenta sa Marketplace. Unlike before na kailangan maka-gain ka ng 50 (sensible dapat) na posts before you can have access to some functions of the forum.
Minsan even yung pagmemerge ng threads na hindi naman ata dapat imerge, nagugulo tuloy, like latest blog posts thread, minerge sa support group for bloggers which deals about technicalities, so kung ikaw may problema sa blogger account mo, parang ang hirap magbackread sa isang thread na halos puro bloglinks ang makikita mo, magkaiba kasi ng purpose eh, yung isa, to keep everyone updated with what you wrote, yung isa, pang-tulong sa mga nagkakaron ng issues with their account.
ayun, humahaba na suggestions ko, tama na muna.
