    I want elections on TE

    @ Aces There are some moderators who are primarily inactive, even when active, they hardly post anything useful. Is it befitting of the job? Except for the founder moderators(obviously deserve leeway), everyone else should be expected to perform IMO. Change keeps some people fresh. It doesn't...

    I want elections on TE

    Excellent write-up cranky :) It doesnt have to be elections, like I said, sectional mods can be changed half yearly by the global moderators. It keeps them fresh and motivated to lead, post and contribute usefully. IMO the primary responsibilty of "Section Mods " should be to post...

    I want elections on TE

    Section mods can't promise that in any case :P Section mods are expected to have knowledge and interest in their section. They are also expected to post good reliable information consistently, apart from maintaining some discipline and mood.

    I want elections on TE

    I entirely agree with Sharekhan. Every eligible member should have a chance to manage/assist the forum. It just keeps everyone interested and the powers should not be akin to a royal throne that you inherit for life. Section moderators should be rotated every 6months IMO, with or without...

    I want elections on TE

    I hope no one gets me wrong here. Your twisted rationale can be met with another twisted rationale :P The tax we pay are in the form of "posts", "traffic" that bring in "revenue". Its another matter that we post and read because we like to :)

    @ phoenix Sorry, Did I offend you? In any case, I already agreed that reputation should be more of the deciding factor. Look above :)

    Hmm, true, elections do have a propensity to breed favoritism. Good point!

    I want elections on TE

    Exactly why I said only members with 500+ posts should be able to vote :P

    I want elections on TE

    When staff recruit, it is more of an appointment/recruitment and less of an election, hence termed recruitment drive. I have nothing against that and you deservedly got selected.

    I want elections on TE

    Its a good idea. How is this proposition ? - Only the long standing global moderators, who are more the founders here, should be in the elite panel and don't have to stand for elections. IMO all the section mods should be elected. Only members with 1000+ posts should be able to apply and...

    India-Sri Lanka test Series Thread

    From the little action that I caught online, It doesnt appear like the pitch has deteriorated a lot although it isnt as easy paced for sure. SL should have done better. Thats the beauty of test cricket. No pitch in the world will play the same on all 5 days. If you want similar pitch on all 5...

    English TV series discussion

    I tried Wire. Saw the first episode and dropped it. I see TV series' with my wife and she just hated the first episode. I didn't like it either. Maybe I gave up too soon.

    Graphic Cards Is there any need for a Graphics card for a Photoshop user ?

    PS can use discreet graphics on occasions, but the whole thing is still crappy. For the most part you really dont need it. No harm in getting a cheap but decent 4670 though .
