New Holistic Forum Discussion

[nickh]

Let us know your thoughts on the new layout here.

Thanks everyone!

When www.otherhealth.com was started, many new forums were created, as we know this is "HOMEOPATHIC" forum, so main interest was remained focus on homeopathy and members did not take part in OTHER forums. Now you did a good thing, instead of sending posts in so many forums, people would like to send posts in Holistic Therapies forum on topics related to other than homeopathy.

Frantkly speaking, you have not taken steps in building homeopathic community in the forum although this forum is user friendly and very informative. The forum also have so many registered members (I think above 10 thousands) then this forum is very slow? Did you ever think over this point?

Some body was telling me that today www.abchomeopathy.com forum is the most fastest and congested forum in the internet world. About 10 new topics and 50 posts per day. I am not the member of that forum, the reason is that is not user friendly and lack of so many facilities which vbulletin forums offer here.

You also took a good decission in setting up " www.lyghtforce.com " mailing lists in order to attract more members. But we have observed that the mails which www.otherhealth.com members sent in mailing list forum it was transfered in general discussion forums without the consent of the mail initiator.

wait, my friend is online....

See, you initiated this thread on 15 march and so for nobody is interested in offering their thoughts / suggestions. This shows lack of interest.

I request to take steps in building homeopathic community here, in this regard, I suggest the following proposals.

@ Appoint two to three moderator / mediator / coordinator from major counteries. I have observed members from USA, Uk, Germany, Australia, India and Pakistan are very active. Select three coordinators / moderators from each countries (above). When their names will be highlighted in this forum then definitly the sense of duty will be developed in them and they will encourage more members to participate in the forums. At the same time you will observe very good and healthy change in their attitudes in the discussion.

I hope you will take steps in improving the quality of discussion and participation.

Thanks for the comments - always welcome.

We always welcome offers to assist with moderation of Forums. Even if we can't offer you something immediately, we will always keep you 'on file' for when the opportunity does arise.

And of course we are always interested in reading ideas for improving the Forums as a community.

Dear Moalij,

You sketched very true picture. By adding more members in otherhealth team, we can enhance the quality of discussion and more new topics would be available for reading.

What I have observed, even though we are participating on regular basis but we are far away from each other in terms of friendship and respect. This is of personal dislikness, self praise and show of authority. If you personally dislike someone, you always read his post in the same back ground whether he is right or wrong and then you exercise your power just to satisfy your ill thought.

I think this is the time to forget everything and share hands to build this community with new hopes. Your suggestions are easy to implement and I don't find any difficulty in them.

Try to encourage people on "merit of posts" and avoid discouraging attitude. Give free hand to present your thoughts whether you agree with them or not in respectful way and by remaining under the circle of otherhealth forum rules but do not make target to any person on personal dislikeness.

I hope to see better atmosphere here.

Hello masters,

Which changes are you talking about?

I can't see.

Speaking as a patient, I much prefer the new "all in one" format. Previously there seemed to be too many sections with few emails and probably not enough going on to encourage users to "drop in". This is much better and also removes any doubt about which section to include items under.

[Moalij]

1. When a member send post in mailing list section then why the same post does not appear at actual mailing list (in inbox of email)?

2. Does a member cannot make post in mailing list section to start a new topic?

3. Will you give right to a member to send post of its own choice of section? If a member make a post in mailing list section then actually he/she wants to send post in the same section then why his/her post is removed?
