in other words, you want a nri version of "bharat rakshak".
It is not necessary to cite another web-site, whether as a positive or as a negative model; it smacks of an unhealthy obsession with that site and its character. It is enough to say, for instance, an nri version of a pracharak.
i would also be happy if
@Joe Shearer is made mod.
This is so patently a bad selection that it has never seen any serious examination.
@Joe Shearer is too angry, and too resolute in his determination to confront the political philosophy of right-wing elements, including quasi-fascists in Pakistan as well as in India, and to confront the religious beliefs of fanatics in Pakistan as well as in India, and cannot be counted on to remain calm in the presence of an advocate of either set of values, or of both. He is not a neutral player.
If selected, he would veto the selection.
the point is most indian members undeniably are primarily a embarrassment to india and generally spoil the atmosphere with their right-wing anti-human views... this is also true about members from certain other nationalities - all the saudis and jordanians, most of the turks.
as joe shearer observed once, such indian members have the same manner of writing posts and i will add that their posts are very superficial, with no attempt made to concern themselves about the injustices and wrongs that happen in india, whether the death of farmer gajendra singh or some other issue.
this is a international forum and would you really like these members to represent india?? we should learn from many of the pakistani members, see how they criticize the wrongs in their society.
also, this platform has so much potential to be a solutions platform, but will be so if the wrong posts and members are prevented from turning discussions into pointless circular argument.
did you not see how soumitra openly declared that he wants some capitalist right-winger as mod?? that too when because of extreme capitalism of india, between 1997 and 2010, 200,000 farmers/related-people suicided?? how many times can i keep posting this??
Unfortunately, that sort of Indian constitutes the majority on our forum. It is possible to draw up a black-list - members who are here solely to create trouble, ill-will and friction - and a gray-list - Indians who readily succumb to the bad example of the black-list but can be scolded into proper behaviour. To what purpose? There is an endless line of manufacture of these propaganda-spouting scoundrels, with their identical parroted views, and their vile prejudices, their superficial patriotism.
Who should represent them? One of their own.
But here it is not representation that is being considered. It is moderation. It means calm consideration of the views expressed, evaluating them with regard to suitability for publication, on various criteria, evaluating the past record of the poster, and coming to a conclusion regarding action to be taken.
There are only a handful of such individuals available. Definitely the administrators know of them, and know them. Apparently some peculiar problem obstructs the appointment of an Indian moderator, and we need to leave it to the judgement of the administration to deal with this matter. For now, best to cultivate our garden.
