It is not that i have not understood that dilemma of having no sub section for BD, but for that only the idea is to first collate everything non defence in Central and South Asia and finally divide it into multiple sub section based on countries like India, BD, etc and rest in general when you click and see Central and South Asia section.
At present the number of posters of BD are limited and their threads are also limited. The idea is to encourage them and see more participation in wide topics and take this section as well as posters as serious assets.
You can check with Wajsal, i have even requested for a proper stickies for Sri Lanka so that we can use that to collate all news items, discussions and encourage more users from Sri Lanka here as well.
A demand for a legitimate sub section can be there as and when the management side sees a justifiable approach and backed by good solid number of threads and quality posters.
I dont know about resident mod aspect bcz thats purely management prerogative. But i do understand that the passionate BD folks can contribute much better. yes you will face serious trollers but i still believe you folks are under-utlising your potential by a humongous margin.
I would advocate to see Indian Def Section bcz i can say about that only. In last couple of months, we have tried streamlining everything related to def only there and all other news items moved out. Look at threads of
@anant_s for railways and a new thread by
@Ankit Kumar 002 on roads and infra in Central and South Asia stickies ,which we wish to populate and make it a proper threads over time. Look at Indian section sticky threads where every month 5-6 news items are now purely in sticky . all this removes unnecessary repetitive discussions and clutter.
The amount of trolling is now reduced a lot bcz most posters now dont quote any troll or flame baited posts.. Few ones who indulge also are clearly told that by every other member and they learn to avoid all this. Its ultimately a joint effort to keep a section relevant and clean.
@kobiraaz
I can assure you, if you folks can populate and make good number of threads with quality posts under Central and South Asia section, we can justify the need of a special sub section with Central and South Asia. Its upto you and your fellow BD folks to rise up and do it. I am sure ppl wont like that so they will pull you folks down. SO again its a joint effort of all BD ppl to avoid that situation and lead to a better representation for a proper new sub section request
