Calling All PDF Bangladesh Members - Mod Situation

[Old School]

Please employ a PAKISTANI with the knowledge of Bengali and Bangladesh as Mod. This is a strategically sensitive section and you have to be careful in selections. You do not want to undermine the safety of BD dissidents who are at odds with their government. It is still very dangerous to be PAKISTAN friendly in the eyes of BD authorities. @jaibi , @WebMaster

Yup I don't think any Bangladeshi or Indian should be a mod for any section anywhere.

Keep an open minded+balanced Pakistani mod for both....or just continue with status quo and tag existing mods if ppl have issue with some posts/threads.

Specifically, there are ample evidence of enforced disappearance of people in BD due to their online critics of BDG. One was recently beated to death at their Dacca Engineering University just because he spoke against India online. HRW and Amnesty International have plenty of reports on these incidents.

 

[Nilgiri]

No No No No

We should both be mods in BD section

@Imran Khan too

That would be a great curveball of justice

====

Its too bad all the genuinely good BD members that would make good mods have left the forum completely (driven away by the BAL-goons now trying to get one of their mob in...and making it like all that stuff should be forgotten).

Good balanced ppl like zabaniyah/loki...and skies. Gone forever it seems.

Yes I have warned on the BCL thuggery multiple times (it drove away good BD members here already).

Princess+ snitch mob in BD forum is about extreme control of narrative, rather than actually debating.

None of them should be given responsibility of modding....it would just be a doomed experiment.

Members like Loki that could potentially do it have long left forum.

What is the relationship with it of a Bangladeshi mod in this section if may I ask ?Just confused with your statement !

@Old School

 

[El Sidd]

PDF is banned in Bangladesh.

Only a suicidal person would anger Hasina like that

@Old School

Did you read my initial comment ? Read it.
We don't want to put the safety of members on the line by adding any BCL/BAL or even worse DGFI/NSI infiltrators into PDF. This is not so difficult to understand. We are talking about a clear and present danger.

They already achieved it by cleaning up Facebook with the help from Facebook staffs . I personally know people who are fighting for their lives. Do we seriously want the same reign of terror in PDF ? No way.

Okay now I understand your concern !Anyway since I just have slight knowledge about such complex thing (online infiltrators, or whatever ) , and I see everything with plain eyes , so better I remain silent . Never even thought that it could be possible! Online life is becoming complex I guess!

Agree completely. @jaibi @WebMaster

I think this subforum should be moderated by a Pakistani given the concerns raised by @Old School.

Also, with that being said, I hope the behavior patterns/posting of certain individuals are scrutinized in light of the hope of fostering a closer relationship vis a vis Pakistanis and Bangladeshis.

 

[Sehnsucht]

It appears that there has been a spike in the BD section of abuse and trolling. That's not acceptable anywhere but it seems that this section has been hit harder than usual. Can everyone who browses the BD section the most, especially our Bangladeshi PDF members kindly tag me in any thread or post that falls off the rails here along with reporting it?

This is so it's high on the priority! We're revamping the Mod System here but naturally it takes some time until then, please, adopt this approach and I've been reviewing the thread here remarking the problem. We'll sort it out soon, IA.

Thank you for the patience!

My vote goes for Avicenna as well.
As for what @Old School said, that security issue shouldn't affect @Avicenna since he's actually Bangladeshi origin American living in America.He's the best choice hands down, if he agrees.


@Nilgiri's suggestion works for him because he's one of the biggest troll in this subsection & has no problem if the status quo continues.

If you choose a Pakistani moderator, I'd request you to ensure that he has no history of trolling in this subsection & has no problem with the bitter past Bangladesh & Pakistan shares, someone who'll be hard on any member who is trolling be it Bangladeshi or from other countries & someone mature who wants future cooperation & brotherhood between both countries.

Thank you for your efforts.

I think you would make a great mod, the most level-headed Bangladeshi member on this forum imo. Having said that if you dont feel comfortable given the political situation then that is a perfectly legitimate reason not to take on the task.

 

[bd_4_ever]

Thanks for mentioning this @jaibi

Me, along with couple of others such as @leonblack08, have been in PDF for more than a decade. Frankly speaking, its generally a very nice place and used to be much better. However, recent troll imports have made experiences bitter. And the hate is quite rampant. There are also increasing intentional flame-bait posts by 'Bangladeshis' that are simply meant to trigger members. Such particular cases would be identifiable by only a Bangladeshi.

I remember a BD member named Zabaniya used to be a moderator. Its been quite a while I've seen him here (probably not active anymore). So it's not that this section was not moderated by a 'local resident' before. Based on that and my experience here for many years, I propose training & appointing minimum two Bangladeshis (on a rotating basis) to moderate this section, who can be of course, supervised by senior Pakistani mods. After all, its teamwork. In that way, we can ensure impartiality and quality.

If I can recommend, @Avicenna and @Atlas, will get my votes. Two posters who are always calm, collected and respectful towards all members.

 

[JohnWick]

Well I vote @Nilgiri As a Mod for that particular case.

I dont want any relation with bd

 

[M. Sarmad]

On a more broad note....I think it's essential to reconcile the feelings between Pakistanis and Bangladeshis given the current scenario in the world.

Agreed... But reconciliation refers to a condition of mutual respect .. Just yesterday you were unable to find anything wrong in a BD poster calling Pakistanis "Barbarian, cruel and stupid who had learnt nothing from the past".. As long as Bangladeshis (or Pakistanis for that matter) maintain this kind of attitude and hostile outlook, reconciliation is impossible
