Thread: Help Mods - Daily Minor Issues

I am creating this thread so that we all can help moderators in some of the basic and daily tasks which often gets overlooked. Like:

1) Quite often while discussing something we post some information in threads which should belong to a more appropriate already existing thread.

Like: Posts #17 onwards in http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...tml#post154341 (What is telnet?) can be moved to this http://www.indiabroadband.net/sugges...-settings.html (vBulletin Reputation Settings)

2) Threads mistakenly posted in wrong sections.

Like: http://www.indiabroadband.net/comput...es-laptop.html can be moved to the laptops section

We often leave messages in the thread itself when we notice such stuff like:

@mods plz move this thread to .....

But, very often such posts go unnoticed.


If, all such things noticed by normal users can be posted in one place, i.e, here - it will help the moderators a lot. Mods can take a look at this thread daily and make the necessary changes.

3) When someone creates a thread with a title having some errors/spelling mistakes, He can just request the mods to change it by mentioning it here.

4) There are more such minor things which happen regularly and needs mods' attention. I cannot think of any more now.


Yaa, I know the post report option is there - but these(above mentioned points) cannot be reported each time as there is nothing wrong or against the rules. Reporting is useful when you notice something wrong like Spamming/Advertising etc.

I hope this Idea makes Sense. So, post such minor issues here. This thread can be made sticky for the convinience of moderators. Keep your requests short and simple:

Just Like: Plz move this thread to this section.

Thanks for the suggestions. Have acted on the same.

After thread rating campign, were waiting for something useful like this.

Good thread.

Our own exit poll, can we accommodate one in this thread ? Please consider

1) The Good Morning Thread is in Introduction section while The Good Night Thread is in General Offtopic section. Plz move either one of them so that they come in the same section.

2) These threads can be merged: (same content)

3) http://www.indiabroadband.net/genera...converter.html (converter) can be moved to Computer hardware and software tips and tricks

4) http://www.indiabroadband.net/genera...-you-vote.html (Did you vote ?) can be moved to Politics section

I acted on a couple of them. But it is better to report the post. That gets better attention.

Ok.
