re: re: DISCUSSION THREAD MANAGEMENT |

Kanchana,
You know pretty well that I listen. When Lavanya suggested that I could make changes and opt for the threaded-discussion kind of msg board, I found meaning in it and changed the msg board's landscape immediately. In fact, I didn't observe this particular feature that Ryze Admin had introduced recently and I really thank Lavanya for making me notice the new feature.
Harish, then, convinced me that I could stop moderating on a trial basis. But even before I could read is msg, I opted to reconfigure and make this board unmoderated.
Both of us know it pretty well that, on many issues, you and myself, don't agree, but that hasn't made either of us lose the personal regard we have for each other.
Now, I say that I have my very clear agenda as to what I want to do through WCFC. I believe in Singapore democracy in many respects and I definitely feel that the Singapore democracy kind of management is what Internet Discussion Groups require to follow. Otherwise, it will result in cacophony and may even turn out to be useless bin.
I would love to encourage freedom of expression, but I don't want to be in the sidelines and watch the aimless wandering that many Internet Discussion Groups have gotten into.
It is exactly for this reason that I even offered to make somebody else manage the show of WCFC.
Unmoderated discussion is something that I have readily agreed. I am now asking the people here how do they feel like, if the discussion board remains unregulated. If we don't regulate the discussion board topics, there is a distinct possibility that a serious issue may lose its significance and go to the background in 10 minutes after it is posted.
I think you haven't caught my point as to what do I mean when I say we should try regulating the board.
Let me also hear what others have to say.
