Suggestions on carrying out the “Rectification Movement” for the forum
Thread Content
The continuous growth and development of the forum is evident to all! At the same time, we have also observed a decline in the quality of posts and the competence of members to varying degrees. There are signs of inflation in the forum, and an atmosphere of impatience and other negative factors exists in the overall environment. (Personal opinion) Therefore, I suggest that the forum launch a 15–30 day “Improve the Forum” campaign, with the aim of enhancing the quality of the forum and establishing good order there. Mainly aimed at: 1. Rules for posting threads ； 2. Scoring criteria (including those for technicians, engineers, and moderators) ； 3. Post reply content ； 4. Division of labor, coordination, and cooperation among the various sub-forums; 5. The development direction of the sub-forums, etc. These issues may seem like clichés, but they are precisely the most fundamental policies that affect forums. Due to the differences in the specialties involved, the scoring criteria vary, as do the management philosophies of the moderators, which in turn affects the scoring. It is acceptable to allow a certain degree of discretion within defined limits, but the differences should not be too great. Almost every subforum has its own scoring criteria, and these vary greatly. The key issue is the inconsistency in our scoring system; there’s a huge difference in the scoring philosophy among the moderators. I still haven’t figured out exactly how to carry out this event! I just felt it was necessary. I hope everyone will discuss this carefully!
I agree with your personal view, but calling the enhancement of management efforts a \"rectification campaign\" is not appropriate; it tends to remind people of painful times. Moreover, such efforts have been ongoing all along, and what is needed is to strengthen the relevant regulations. This post was last edited by zyy1311 on 2008-1-19 13:47.]
“Does the \"Cultural Revolution\" easily remind people of painful times? Where? Old Mao relied on him to enforce discipline back then; you must have misunderstood!
I think the suggestions from liuze78 deserve attention; although it’s an old issue, it is becoming increasingly serious, so it’s necessary to remind people about it again. This post was last edited by rgsmdqy on 2008-1-19 at 20:54.]
In fact, the forum has clear regulations regarding the points mentioned by liuze78, but some deviations occurred during implementation. As you said, \"different specialties are involved, different scoring criteria apply, and the management philosophies of the moderators also vary, leading to different scoring methods.\" It’s not easy to enforce uniformity; I think it would be better for the administrators of each forum section to take the lead in formulating detailed rules for their respective sections, which can then be implemented by the moderators and technical team members under them.
The slogan should be changed to: “Rapid Joint Improvement” campaign. 1. Plan to assist those members who do not meet the posting requirements, guiding them down the right path； 2. Analyze the scoring of management teams through examples to help those who score incorrectly learn how to score properly ； 3. How to make one’s replies meaningful and valuable; actively discuss this issue in order to improve everyone’s ability to respond to posts ； 4. Hold small gatherings for the management team to enhance communication and exchange, reasonably assign responsibilities, so that managers can not only improve their own skills but also manage the forum effectively, with high efficiency and minimal time consumption ； 5. Guide everyone to share their views on the future ； 6. How to increase spending on the forum? Increased spending will stimulate its development. This might take a long time and increase the difficulty several times over, but if it succeeds, the results should be quite good. Because I firmly believe in one thing: the greater the difficulties faced, the more one’s abilities improve as long as one strives to overcome them. Knowledge can be forgotten, but skills remain with a person throughout their life cycles.
The phenomenon of inflating scores for each other still exists； Irrigation and uncivilized posting exist, but they are not common anymore ； Posts that are not formatted properly and those containing repeated content are quite common; especially new users don’t do any searching when posting, often sharing material that is already available on the forum
I personally suggest increasing the number of times members can rate, while reducing the score value for those ratings. This post was last edited by AChuan on 2008-2-5 17:40]
Forum management needs to be strengthened. Perhaps due to the approaching end of the year, everyone is quite busy, so there is less time available for managing the forum. However, using the term \"rectification\" is a bit excessive – who is supposed to be rectified, and what kind of rectification? Cleaner? Everyone, moderators? ? It’s still all members; we’re a high-level forum, not a place for nonsense. I still think it’s better to focus on the actual issues at hand. If there are any problems, they should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. There’s no need to raise everything to such a \"theoretical level\" – it’s unnecessary. Personal opinion
I agree with this. I previously shared the same views as LZ and wrote to Chao Ban hoping to join forces in making a call to action. But over time, it has become apparent that there is no need for it anymore. The phenomenon mentioned by the original poster is most likely a normal one. Previously, the expansion of the forum attracted many users; it was inevitable that some of the newcomers felt anxious and unfamiliar. By using certain tactics from other forums, some negative phenomena emerged on Haichuan. I believe that in the ocean of Hai Chuan, it will change soon. While browsing the forum today, I noticed that many improvements have been made, including better standards, formatting, and content. Given time, and through the guidance of existing members, the atmosphere at Haichuan will improve quickly. Haichuan is a technical forum, so there is no appeal for the intangible benefits (technical materials) that come from non-technical posting. Haichuan still specializes in technical exchanges, and it has a positive atmosphere there. Regarding the rectification efforts, I think it’s a good idea to carry them out, but it should involve making some necessary adjustments to HaiChuan in order to maintain its image! For those who have multiple accounts but are useless and do not log in for a long time, appropriate actions should be taken.
