Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Dear Members, I have made some changes to the Jyotishgroup today as under: a) The messages are now unmoderated as I have seen considerable decline in abuses and personal attacks. I will however continue to monitor the messages. This means that messages from new members will appear immediately. b) Archive is now publicly viewable. To read the messages, you do not have to register or login any more. This will benefit from those who do not wish to just read the posts. Posting to the forum is still limited to registered members, who need to be approved. This is to ensure the list remains spam free. Appreciate your views on these changes. regards, raj rao moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Sir, This is welcome move and liberal progressive thinking. a) Unmoderation is good and democratic way of dealing and a wise step. As long as members do not take advantage by going for strong abuses which may be required to be met with further more, as replies, which spoils the atmosphere. Otherwise slight heat and strong arguments is good and a part of any discussion group minus the abuses part. It is a a relief for us that the messages would be under your gaze and you would be monitoring them. b) This too is a good move as those who are already memebrs of too many Forums, not wanting to join more, but yet wishing to be update with the discussons here, can relish these archives. In same way, those wishing to join, and who find the archives interesting, would register themselves as members here. Though we members behave like little children many times, and you having to monitor such messages, we appreciate your presence here, in this way. regards, Bhaskar. , " indiadirector " <raj wrote: > > Dear Members, > I have made some changes to the Jyotishgroup today as under: > > a) The messages are now unmoderated as I have seen considerable > decline in abuses and personal attacks.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 dear Raj rao, jyotish group is one of the bigger groups on astrology which commands popularity. It is no secret that certain sections in amicable to india watch these groups either on astrology , indian culture, history or on religion. By making the achieves public, we are privy for information reaching the wrong hands. U may say that anyone can join with a disguised ID and read the messages but we always would come to know the IP of such computers. any way, it is okay if i am being too paranoid. regards, Kishore patnaik 98492 70729 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 You are right. And I am paranoid when admitting new members. I try to do as much due diligence that I can before I allow a person to join this forum. raj , " kishore patnaik " <kishorepatnaik09 wrote: > > dear Raj rao, > > jyotish group is one of the bigger groups on astrology which commands > popularity.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Dear Raj and Kishore I'm not sure what there is to worry about? In the west even with good id people have been tracked and ridiculed in the media when they have tried to conduct themselves in a dishonourable way. People have even lost their jobs. It is now big business for organisations to be employed to track individuals, especially if they are in top jobs, and find out how they behave on the internet. We read stories of many who thought their id was secure, but employers and colleagues found out about their surfing and group activities and many have already been shamed in the media and even lost their jobs through use of foul language, or other improper behaviour, while others have just been ridiculed and mocked. best wishes M - indiadirector Tuesday, November 20, 2007 3:44 AM Re: Jyotishgroup Changes You are right.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 what if they are in top jobs? what if they are anti Hindus who are just eyeing the group activities with an idea to disrupt any credence to Hinduism as a religion and thought? what could we do to Paul Cortwright, who has tried to establish Hinduism as a filthy religion in his book Ganesha by writing that Sati, the concort of Siva was raped by her father, by writing that Hinduism believes that humans were created out of anus of God and by writing that Ganesha's trunk represents man's penis? I do not see any widespread anger on the part of common Hindu- considering that this book has been published in 1985!!! It is no secret several times there were ridiculous attacks in media on Hinduism and attempts were made to belittle this great ancient religion. Hence, it is better to be cautious! regards, Kishore patnaik 98492 70729 On 11/20/07, Marg <margie9 wrote: > > Dear Raj and Kishore > I'm not sure what there is to worry about? > In the west even with good id people have been tracked and ridiculed in > the media when they have tried to conduct themselves in a dishonourable way. > > People have even lost their jobs.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 dear raj I believe you should just do your best and we should trust you in every way possible to do your best, paranoia is a terrible feeling so please accommodate and adjust (modify). as the group becomes stronger in solidarity which my heart predicts will happen eventually in due course, then I see that we can advise you personally that people should join this group? (is that is a terrible idea? please clarify if so). I think that your strict moderation is necessary only momentarily as there seems to be a good shift in producing a better group than before and that we all will more than likely be vocal in our support of adding new members. there are many great astrologers who have left and I am sure they will be more than happy to come back. I know that great astrologers hold very little tolerance for carrying resentfulness as they know it affects their health greatly for the long run!! that's some medical astrology for you there!! for note: this is just my opinion pushed forward and in no way at all is it a definitive account of the group and I mean that!! I am sure this will lead to another thread (discussion) or maybe not? no harm no foul!!! namaskar, __________ Raja G.
