First of all I agree that we don’t have the talents that we used to have in the past. Narcissistic posts and meaningless ramblings are the prevalent posts these days. Not because most of the users like them, it’s just that Sajha ranks the post listing by the last thread posted. Obviously, meaningless ramblings and back-and-forth accusations tend to get to the top just because people doing that have so much free time on their hands.

Is the admin to be blamed? Partially, because it is his site after all. But not because of his control over the postings, but because the system that is in place. Actually, censoring of few out-of-line threads has help maintain the sanity of the site. There have been many posters in their past who kept on posting offensive threads and got into many user’s skin at times. Had they continued doing so, they would have completely overtaken sajha and posters like myself would never have come back again. San, by controlling such postings, hasn’t made it dictatorial site but rather given the true meaning to the site name: Sajha; it is not a single person’s site. I would go on to challenge to show me one single post/poster that got banned and didn’t have reason to get banned.

If Sajha wants to regain its quality back, one suggestion I have is to prioritize the threads by rankings/last post. There already is a system to rank posts, this should get more priority. Maybe somekind of weight can be assigned to the last post and rankings and the thread with highest weight will show up up-top.

Just my suggestion. Please continue banning the offensive posters and those who think it is their personal message board. I have no problem with that.
