We coolbies on the Channel V and Life OK forums have come together to make this thread because we aren't being given the justice we deserve. We keep being told different reasons for no Viewbie promotions in these forums, yet none of these reasons really make sense.
Since we've been told that Viewbie promotions are not needed in these forums, then should we as coolbies only do what we're required? Should we stop maintaining the archives, conducting contests/games/member of the week, cleaning up the forum, and maintaining the forum as per IF rules? And not bring any disputes/violation happening in the forum to mod's attention?? Maybe we should do only what coolbies are supposed to do and that is WUs. Because we are doing all of this work and we don't get the fair share of our hard work.
We are told that our forums don't have enough activity, yet Sony TV forums, which are less active than our forums get Viewbies and we don't. Many Sony TV forums which are nearly 1 year old now only have 30 - 50 pages, while certain forums have way more than that. Amrit Manthan has 120+ pages, Hum Ne Li Hai Shapath has 50+ pages, The Buddy Project has 130+ pages, Humse Hai Life has 210+ pages, Surveen Guggal has 130+ pages, and The Serial, which just opened already has 2 pages. How is this less activity and traffic than Sony TV forums? Mostly channel V shows targets the youth and people do come on these forums but due to lack of mods and fan disputes the activities decrease exponentially and then the Higher DT's give us this statement that forums are not much active, but noone cares enough to give justice to our offerings and this is the bitter truth. Talking about life ok, this 1 year old channel has done exceptionally well... and if their IF ranking are compared with the sony forums then undoubtedly LO have more activity.
One point. Please stay off this topic if you want to get suggestions of PMing the links to be fixed to the CM or global mod or waiting for another promotion. New Cool Viewbies, this topic is not meant to question about your promotions. You all have worked for your respective section and you do deserve the token in form of promotions. It's just to make admins and the global mods think about the bias behavior towards us, as we tried to settle this issue through PM's but nothing helped and hence we are bringing this issue in public.
Edit: Please check pg. 20, post 2. Supriya ji has taken time out to clarify what we want.
