Current state of PDF - Nostalgia of an Indian Member

[Cookie Monster]

Refer to Horus post, according to him forum is much better moderated than before. Leading opinion in the thread among all Pakistani Posters barring you seems to be the same.

Now do you recognize the problem This is democracy in work, your point about prestige system is not needed as per majority opinion.

U keep saying the problem lies with the Pakistanis on this forum...making the forum suit Pakistani agenda. That's not the problem...the problem is hordes of Indian trolls...which invites a backlash and a response from Pakistani members. Back when the forum was better it had almost non existent chest thumping Indian trolls. Indian members talked in a civilized manner, gave respect and got respect in return...instead of any flamebaiting. So it's kind of unfair to point fingers at Pakistanis while giving a free pass to the hordes of trolls from ur side.

Trying to correct a wrong by a similar wrong never works. The solution here would have been to ensure proper and uniform enforcement of rules by good moderation, but the time for that has passed.

We now have the forum we deserve.

PAF is dead I think, as is the other offshoot (World Defense). PDF, deteriorating as it is, is still around, at least.

There are still lot of peoples lurking around,who have chosen to just wait and watch.
Lately kids filled with umpteen amount of jingoism have flooded this forum.Many from FB and Twitter page have landed into PDF further bringing down quality.
Sharing and discussion on defence/geostrategic issues is virtually gone down to 0%.

It is up to management to run their forum as they see fit by right.

PDF can be brought back by banning peoples left right and ending jingoism.
Jingoism is poison when it comes to debates.

Same as PTI is running Pakistan.

But jingoism is the fuel that runs endless expressions of patriotism. Who needs debate anyway? One view or another is bound to be critical and thereby run afoul of some dictum or another.

No complaints there either.

Agree to disagree.
Many would restore to abuse and personal slurs when losing a debate,which isn't Gentleman endeavour to begin with.

Management themselves encourage it in certain situations. It is all good, of course. It is their right.

It's mostly done when management is not around.You can't blame low quality of posters on management alone.

I haven't paid much attention to any of them but PDF stands on place today where taking out few posters can easily take sancity out of forum.
