Topic: Moderator Annoucements Posted: 06-Sep-2006 at 19:11 |
This thread will now be used for any annoucements we need to make for this forum.
As you are probably aware by now, Digvijay has been banned.
I want to point out that Rajput and Digvijay were not the same person (the former being from New York, the latter from an unknown place in India) and there are no reincarnations of either of them on the forum as of this moment.

Who influences and controls the pakistani Government has been moved to Intellectual Discussions
Balochistan - Start of civil war? has been moved over to Current Affairs.
This is due this forum being meant for historical discussions and not current affairs, there are appropriate forums for such threads.

Earlier I posted some of my papers in this forum.
But, when I try now (I have been trying for the last 10 days), it is not posted showing some error.
Will you please help me?

History is not what was written or is written, but it is actually what had happened in the past.

Oh sorry, didn't see this post here. Is this the Tamil Histiography thread? I said in there it may be best to reduce the size of each post, and post the whole paper over several posts

Please don't post current affairs topics in this forum. For experienced members there is a current affairs forum for that. For inexperienced members, you have to wait around for a while before you can discuss current affairs

No there isn't any way. The aim is encourage people to discuss history in the forum rather than current affairs.

As a result of people getting death threats about posting on this board. All topics relating to Gujjar and
Rajput origins/conflicts are temporarily banned Until a decision has been reached by the administration.
I don't want to do this but better safe than sorry.
At best, those threads will only be locked a few days, but this needs to be discussed by the staff.

I suggest you PM a moderator/administrator with your complaint about another member. For a new member you seem way out of place. Especially with this:

Dear Mr. Hashim,
I would request you to remove all non related post to the Topic of the "Size of armies" to some other thread. This not only take focus away from the main topic but also dilutes the power of the topic under discussion.
Regards.
AP Singh

Hi all
I have been honoured with the position of moderator by the staff of this esteemed forum. My responsibilities include this sub- forum.
Now we have gotten a reputation as a difficult, combative and tricky forum, one that others stay away from. This has got to change. I look forward to history discussion, the opening of new avenues and a broadening of horizons. may I and my collegues never have to use our mod powers ever. I hope that controversial topics can be avoided or at least discussed in a calm, dispassionate and civilised manner. While inane and downright ridiculouse topics will be avoided, or relegated to the plethora of other forums they belong to. Let the history of S Asia not be forgotten in the world of AE.

It is with profond regret I announce that the Gujjar-Rajput discussion has been added to the blacklisted topics of this forum. Any new thread on this topic (or any existing thread that veers in that direction) will be closed, unless it is in the current affairs forum (and is infact a current event).
It is disappointing that we can no longer discuss the relations of two of the most imporatant and interlinked ethnicities in S Asia. But the circumstances forced the mods hand. Please do not let this happen in other topics. Keep the tone civil.

The mods are pleased to announce that the special rules for S Asia have now expired and after considering the circumstances we have concluded that there is now no need to renew them. From now S Asian forum will be judged normal forum rules.
Members can justly congratulate themselves on the improvement in the quality and tone of the debate. Keep this up!
