Dear friends,

It is only my own view and may be for others it is wrong and if so I am sorry……

I feel the standard and quality of this forum is getting worse day by day. Let me point out some observations

I feel the number of topics per day is more and literally there is not much discussion in any of the debates or ideates when compared to the number of referrals and views. Some members are interested only in creating the debates or ideates and never participates in others or not even bothered to leave a comment on an insight.

Secondly the number of meaningless topics is more compared to past (Eg: i hate such new tech, Dare , quality , govardhan reddy , etc ) along with TOP 10 posts..and some members are posting debates which is repetition of even recent ones

In general I feel the real purpose of this forum is losing its ground…. I was an active member and honestly I lost all the interest though I visits the site everyday…

I know the life of this debate would be like hot news hour with limited life where only 10 to 15 members will participate….

Anyway “IS THERE ANY MEANS TO IMPROVE THE STANDARD OF TOO STEP” as what we are seeing when we Google it says “TooStep is an exclusive private network of middle and senior level executives. Members help each other in enhancing their careers by pooling and sharing resources. Get access to ... this is what we will see when we will google it....

ASSIGN A MODERATOR.

This is just an idea to start with. Please share your other ideas. A moderator can evaluate the debates/ideates/insights before posting for its standard, whether a repetition.

Thanks friend for referring me.

Moderator is the right way to go Manoj....we need quality stuff from people, but users are just posting many similar things which have been already discussed earlier, while posting one can see on the right hand side like whether the post is there already or not, but don't know how users are missing out on it.....also what I have seen here on Toostep is they are changing the url by deleting some of the words and making sure that url is free and posting similar things....If toostep team can make sure that option is not there, then we can see a reduction in the number of similar postings...

my 2 cents...

I agree with you on this important subject. In addition to a moderator I feel there shoud be one filter which will decide wheather the topic is to be put or is there is a duplication. May be it will help. Thanks Manoj.

New topic to be selected - on merit basis.

idea posted by malladi madhukumar AGM -MKTG, Andhra Cements Ltd

It is quire right that of late the dicussions are directionless and repetitive.

In my view to enroll a topic there should be norms.

1. Every Day new topics should be listed.

2. Minimum 2 people should recommend the topic. One from same knowledge community one from any other community.

Introduce negative mark system

idea posted by SHRIKANT MANOHAR DANKE Project Manager, Phadnis Infrastructur Ltd

Manoj I am totally agree with you.

As far as possible I participates in every debate,ideate for which I was invited, but I feel very sad to see response to debate posted by me on last Monday.

But it doesn't matters for me , still I am taking active part in every invitation, I got.

Here I want to suggest to introduce negative mark system for repetition of ideas.debates,ideates if possible.

You are right Shrikant, Your suggetion is a good one... I was also same like you... participates in almost all interesting topics... But when I realised that most of the people who are so active in creating debates and Ideates never put their views in other's debates or to put a small comment on other's insights... One of the reason I stopped participating in other debates except very few interesting Topics....

Thanks for the comment

Lets make the inner circle communities work

idea posted by Jayant Vishnu Art Director/Sr Art Director, Creative

I mean many of us who are  top contributers on the platform have got invitations to join these inner circle communities right....where they have said that they will give us the users a chance to make sure that what sort of content gets discussed in the first place, than going in an ad-hoc manner which is happening right now, even I was a regular earlier, but then the interest levels started saturating and now I visit Toostep now and then when there are some good discussions happening...So, as users of this platform we can take this initiative which has been started from Toostep for certain popular communities and co-ordinate with others on the same and come up with a better solution for this decreasing level of standards on Toostep.

Yes jayant, I have got an invitation to join a community called Inner circle of construction professionals something like that.... I need to join yet, but I think as top contributers of this platform we know how it works, and we can come together and discuss few of the problems which are there in the first place and then decide on like what is that we need to discuss and other things.

Add your argument:

A "Help" tab to address how Toostep platform works

idea posted by Amrita Animation/Graphic Artist, Creative design

I think we need a "help" option or "how to use toostep" option for new users like me to understand how the platform works in the first place. after 1 month of visiting this site i got  used to it, but if you go to facebook and other social networking sites the user interface is very simpler, but I like toostep just because the level of knowledge that gets shared here, but every thing is abrupt and adhoc manner the way its happening, there is no direction altogether. As users if we are of any help then we can make it a much better place than it is now.

An intelligent moderator will really be helpful in image building and arresting the downfall of quality of postings. A really important issue has been raised by Mr.Shrikant.

only middle and senior level professionals must be allowed

idea posted by KAMAL TANDON Sales Head, KEE PHARMA LIMITED

TOO STEP WAS CREATED FOR MIDDLE AND SENIOR LEVEL PROFESSIONALS TO AIR AND SHARE THEIR VIEWS.SOMEWHERE THAT GOT LEFT BEHIND, TODAY IT IS BECOMING MORE OF A SOCIAL SITE.

THE QUALITY OF DEBATES TODAY RANGES FROM PERSONAL FRUSTRATIONS,PERSONAL PROFESSIONAL PROBLEMS AND GOSSIPS,TOPICS DIRECTLY PICKED UP FROM OTHER SITES AND SIMPLY CUT AND PASTED.

THE COMMENTS ARE NON SERIOUS,PEOPLE MORE INTERESTED IN INCREASING THEIR POINT TALLY. A GOOD NUMBER OF PEOPLE POST 6 TO 8 DEBATES OR IDEATES EACH DAY, WITHOUT THEIR OWN MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTION.

WE MUST CHECK THIS BEFORE TOO STEP ENDS UP AS A MERE SOCIAL CONTACT SITE.

PLEASE FILTER OUT NON SERIOUS MEMBERS WHO MAY BE DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD TO THIS VALUABLE SITE.

BELIEVE ME MY FRUSTRATION IS INCREASING EACH DAY, AND I DONT WANT TO CUT AWAY FROM TOO STEP.

LETS TOGETHER SAVE TOO STEP.
