If you want to see the Indian Board closed better close this topic.

Not exactly. What I meant was, if there doesn't seem to be any improvement or interest in the board on the whole it might be better to close the board instead of rambling over anything. But to the contrary, we have certainly seen many improvements over the last few months with fake Translators leaving the board all together, some members ranking up by contributing to the board, etc. newIndia and Eality have been actively reporting the section and trashing the spam for over a year but still there is very little activity till now. Many Indians have moved onto the main boards with very less contributing to the community. Sad

If this continues to follow, we would lose all the decent discussions taking place out there and certainly would be infested by spams all together.

What's the point on becoming a merit source for a board you are recommending to close?

People have been contributing to the community some way or the other to educate our fellow Indians. In return we could merit them, but that doesn't happen to be the case. It's been over 2 months and we haven't got any response from theymos still. We don't even have a merit source and with the recent regulation practices people are losing interest in the board. If this happens to be, what is the point of having a separate section dedicated to India? Cry

If none of the good posters are not really interested to post there, what would be the point of having a board? to promote spam? If you just look onto other local boards (Russian, Indonesian), majority of the posters would be sticking onto their local section with very less posting in the main boards.

The main cause for being inactive there is there's no moderation in that area of the forum after Benson Samuel left his authority. I've had been watching that section but nothing much caught my interest to post there. Trust me, you can't run a complete section/part of a forum with just 18-20 members making good posts there. I've not seen good amount of engagement between people there may be because as sardasa said, they might be scared of being trapped by officials just because Gov has the power to get us barred from using these services and even BTC. After their bullshit bill about banning cryptocurrencies in India, I believe people are trying to maintain a gap from crypto for some time till a final decision arrives.

EDIT : @Rotten Egg if I didn't take this initiative to apply for becoming a source and troll members like you, our board would have been like how it was last year. Either I may or may not be worthy to become a source, but we need a source for sure.
