I agree with fellow posters: the bothersome thing is not the attempt to clean-up and organize sajha postings, but the discrimination of one particular genre of posts.
There are some online fora/'forums" that work very well when they are organized. Here are some examples from very different areas:

I recall a few years ago, trying to work out a way to get kurakani more organized. Over time though I have come to see that there are also strengths in having a lot of topics mixed together, creating exchange of thoughts and ideas among people of vastly varying interests.
If kurakani is to be reorganized into several groupings, then I think at minimum,
(a) They all should have the last few threads shown on the home page.
(b) There should be a few broad categories, rather than lots of little ones.
for example:
Nepal's government, politics and future
Life abroad
Seeking and giving advice
Entertainment
(c) The actual subdividing/grouping should be done after extensive discussion... since the way topics are grouped does affect how they attract attention and posters.
