Are Communities on TooStep becoming Irrelevant

Hi,

It’s correct that communities in Too step are becoming irrelevant with time. I want to mention some points here in order to spread light on it...

1. some times even the topic are not worth to discuss......I don’t remember the name of author but the topic "Shipa Shetyy ka kiss ka funda"....what was there in that topic to discuss.......

This is a professional site and why we are posting such topics for discussions here.

2. I have seen people getting upset if they are getting thumbs down......people do get upset if they get wrong response for the right answer......but here the point is just leave it why we are discussing it that you rated me thumbs down and all.....then we can see a long chain of argument between those two people and others supporting them.....

3. we are complaining that people are not participating, but who ever is participating are very good in their comments and are posting very nice articles and other stuff........people do participate according to their convenience ......so instead of complaining let us improve our Too step and I am sure we have some very good members here who can do this.

Let’s start a new beginning.

By this the main topic is loosing the charm but people are getting interested in these arguments..

for this my opinion is if you think somebody is trying to show you down , just ignore them or if you want to communicate with them then please send them mail....instead of making this platform a war field.

Please don’t take my points in negative terms. I am not pointing anybody here but giving my opinion on the points which were disturbing me on this platform.

Regards,

Rohini.

My God what is wrong with these people I cannot even post a comment without it not given a thumbs down by 1 of 4 people who I think hates me so much. Do they believe they are drilling holes on my skin. Lol.

Thanks Padmanabhan for pointing out the politics being played by the likes of Mr. Dixit.

Thanks Padmanabhan for your observation. I would love you to join my team if you were in my country. Auditors are very observant people.

It was not my desire to comment here...but I had to support you.

I too noticed this long time back but I feel it is the way life and work is built up in India an economy not built up around "differentiation of labor" or specilaization. If you are a Litereture major you can become a stock analyst, a physics major to a business consultant a civil servent to a ceo etc; etc;. So people who join communiities might not have 'supervised skill training" in Academia and they work cross functionaly wherever and whenever they are placed to give a philosophical or academic view of problems. So the topics and contents might look disconnected. This might be unlike Communities of Toostep in other countries where they insist on "differentiation of labor". Once this problem is nuetrelised I think which will take time and effort, then this problem will disappear.

Dear Dikshit sir,

                             You have deleted your earlier comments and now blaming Viktor sir. With all respect for you, I think this was not fair.

Darpan, I agree with you on the articles being irrelevant to the name of the community.  Also, what I have observed is that most of the members of a community are from different professions.  Hence, there is bound to be content that is irrelevant.  This does not in any way harm the community.  I would take it as an opportunity to expand my knowledge base to areas that I am not aware of.

Too step is a discussion place of professionals who do their conversation on serious topics. So, having relevant topics is natural. Hardly cases of irrelevant topics arises.

Makrand, all communities on toostep have moderators who are member of the particular community. "Business Mashups" community has 4 moderators, 3 of whom are not actively playing their role.

I agree with Viktor!! A moderator is essential. Question is does toostep take this seriously and redefine the role of their moderator or do we as members who have formed these communities take the necessary action???

I agree with Mr. Darpan Sinha's argument. I have joined "Construction Planning & Management", "Professional in Construction", "Civil Engineers," community but on Toostep their content not relevant to the name.

Viktor if I am not wrong we can't modrate in toostep!!! is'nt it???

I agree.........I also did mistakes initially in posting the article/knowledge to the community........but now I take care.......everybody must take care while posting and while refering the knowledge to the community........

I agree with you Darpan, that's one of the reasons to have a moderator. Communities where I'm moderator do not have irrelevant content as I moderate the content personally. Most communities don't have any moderators or moderators are not playing their role.
