Bittertruth,
I take your statements as constructive criticism. I like your analogy of ' thotro galli ko mitho momo pasal'. Human perception is so varied and so many factors influence one's perception that the same thing could be considered 'jhupadi' by some and it could be considered a 'mahal' by some depending upon their own individual status, goal, thinking, experience and interests! However, you are absolutely correct that there are many improvements that could be done on sajha. It is not organized at all! Everything seems to be tightly packed everywhere. On top of that there are no moderators to moderate the flow of things. How could a site like this even survive?
The answer is very simple. Sajha is a personal hobby of mine to run a website to bring together Nepalis to provide the resources to discuss freely matters related to Nepal and or Nepalis. I have created the structure to allow for free discussions using the resources that I have and it seems to be going fine for last 10 years and it seems to be going fine even now.
The reason I have stayed away from creating moderators is because each moderator would bring his or her own biases into the equation and it would be unfortunate to have to have disagreements with moderators' actions, or if two moderators do not agree with something, it just becomes a more commercial production which would require moderation of the moderators as well.
Since the Reclaiming Sajha Back movement in sajha, things seems to have been relatively better. There have been better and automated filters set to discourage use of foul language. Participation seems to have been much better than before, because now people are more comfortable in general now that users who do not have common courtesy or respect have been either banned or restricted in their access. The following data from google is a good representation of sajha viewership.
All in all, I am pretty satisfied with the way sajha is. There are always room for improvement and definitely sajha is an ongoing project. I'm just happy that a lot of you have joined us. Together we can have more fun!
Happy Holidays.
