scope of the forum -- Forum Guidelines

November 13, 2008

Dear Mr. Rao & Friends,

We receive tons of queries daily in this forum, so it is not possible to approve them all. Though there is no strict criteria, but following are some of the thoughts in my mind while approving a query -

1. It should have some learning and discussion value.

2. There should be some way to get feedback, e.g. queries from old members are better chances to get approved because we know we can get the feedback.

3. Queries with first level of analysis are better chances of getting approved.

4. It should have as much details as possible related to the query.

5. Queries with specific question has better chances of getting approved than just general reading requests.

6. Email with many questions has less chances of getting approved.

7. Forwarded emails are generally never approved.

At the end I must say that it is OK to post queries of personal nature, but it has to qualify certain criteria to appear in the forum. Not all queries are approved. Also I try to maintain that the personal queries should not be more than 10% of the overall emails in the forum as much as possible. As we are talking about the forum policy, I am also copying the forum constitution from the file section below.

Thanks & Regards,Punit PandeyModerator

Dear Members,A member of the group was wondering whether it would beappropriate to post questions of personal nature.I am new to thisforum.I am not sure whether such water tight compartments exist.I am

of the opinion that a line has to be drawn somewhere as otherwise theforum will be inundated with personal problems rather than a place forsharing knowledge.At the same time occasional personal queriesregarding near and dear will not do harm and infact would enliven the

forum.Will some senior member throw light on this 'lakshman rekha'?M.S.Rao. .

Dear Sir,I wish to make my ideas on the subject, through the experience I had in the forum for last 3,4 weeks.As a follower of KP and as a member of the group, I agreed cent per cent with your intelligible intent as described.The forum is a stage, where the ideas of skilled, experienced and learned teachers and Gurus of the subject, are being exchanged for the well being of the subject.The Forum is not a school, but an University like 'Thakshila" for the new comers as students.If anyone wants to follow, he should be in down the stage and listen and if anything is there to be seen as a hard nut to crack, then only he must stand up and must make a quarry.But it should not be a free jyotish stall, unless anyone is feeling a great necessity like life saving matters. It seems

to be most readers are taken the membership for their individual prospects, but beyond the common theme.If I am wrong, I have no hesitation to beg the pardon of all.Best wishesSunaparanthaKP Student and a MemberPunit Pandey <punitp Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 12:53:39 PMRe: scope of the forum -- Forum Guidelines
