Sometime back I created a few topics to highlight the issues which we are facing currently in our local board

- Brainstorming various ideas for Reshaping the Indian Board

- Thoughts and Suggestions on unofficial rules being followed in Indian board

I would like to remind these and willing to summarize a few key points to reshape our board.

1. Renaming of Buyer/Seller Reputations board :

I am still not sure for what purpose we are having a child board titled Buyer/Seller Reputations (India)

For example if someone comes up with a Scam Accusation on a particular Indian website or to solve their doubts regarding the reputation of an Indian website they don’t really have a board to post their queries apart from the main board. The Child Board Buyer/ Seller Reputations (India) seems to be useful only for posting the reputation of a trader or a particular person in detail and doesn’t seem to be useful for discussing about the reputation of an Indian company or something similar. Hence I would like to propose a solution for the situation by renaming the board to Scams / Reputations (India) instead of Buyer/ Seller Reputations (India).

I would like to hear additional response on this renaming idea so that we can atleast talk about our current situation in Meta.

2. Creation of Altcoin Announcements Child board within the Altcoins (India) board :

The Altcoins (India) board is utter nonsense and garbage is piling up at a whole new level. Newbies are discussing about bitcoin prices in Altcoin Sections Huh

and Announcements are being posted along with discussions thereby making the whole section a complete shit. Hence I would like to propose an idea with the creation of Altcoin Announcements child board within the main Altcoins board.

3. Pinned topics :

Pinned Topics should be written by a person one who is able to moderate the topic for longer run. Welcome to Indians author @dishwara is highly inactive to manage the topic. Hence I would suggest that topic should be replaced by NEW PEOPLE JOINING INDIAN SUB: INTRO AND MERI written by @amishmanish who is very well active here and can moderate the topic.

4. Moderation :

If we have cleaned up our local a little with some help from theymos like creation and renaming of child boards, pinned topics etc we can request him to appoint a moderator for further cleaning of the board.

P.S I would like everyone reading this post to chime in and give your thoughts on these ideas and suggestions. If you have any additional interesting ideas, please post them here and we can discuss regarding the same.

Agree with most of the stuff. Reshaping the Indian board might help us bring back activity in the board.
Also since it seems like a bull run has started we might actually expect new members to join the forum.
We did see some good traction in the last bull run lets how this one goes. Below is my opinion on reshaping the Indian board.

1. Renaming of Buyer/Seller Reputations board :

It is quite logical to rename the buyer/seller reputations board to Scam accusations. We can use the same board to report against buyer/sellers as well as companies/websites.
May be using a different format for reporting both of them can help us differentiate the accusations.
For example using a "[Scammer]" in the title or something alike can tell us that the post is related to buyer/seller scam.

2. Creation of Altcoin Announcements Child board within the Altcoins (India) board :

I just saw the Altcoins section and yes the board is mixed with ANN threads and discussion threads.
I saw ANN threads in regional languages both in Altcoins (India) board and in Regional Languages (India) board.
We should do something about this. Where should the ANN thread in regional language go ? Regional or Altcoins board ?
May be can implement the below solution

If ANN thread is in English - Post the ANN thread in the Altcoins (India) board or Altcoin Announcements Child board if we get this added.
If ANN thread is in Regional language - Post the ANN thread in regional language since OP wants to attract that particular userbase.

3. Pinned topics :

That's accurate. No debates on that part. No point to pin a post if OP is inactive.
Getting it replaced would be the ideal choice.

4. Moderation :

We can make a consolidated list of changes to be done on the Indian board and ask Theymos to assign a moderator for this boards.
Better than that would be if we ourselves suggest a common name acting as a mod for our board.
We can then have that person to post in Meta with the consolidate list and ask Theymos to make him the mod so that he can regularly clean up the Indian board.

5. Addition of "Bitcoin : Development and Translation (India)” board ( got this one from one of your other threads)

Sadly there are not many people interested in development discussion in the Indian board. Even I feel bad about it at times.
It would be better to have the development discussion in the global "Development and Technical Discussion" board where the developer could get more insights from other developers who are active there. It would also provide a faster resolution in the global board in my opinion.
Besides that there would be rarely any developer not knowing English. Most developers would be speaking English ( at least in India that's the case).
