Education and Career Forum

dear sir,
its a good plan to be introduced, as many people would log in to this kind of plans and help many people. i think its good to proceed and this will help many subcribers also.After getting points as much as they need they can encash it, in this way they won't waste time and their points also many people can be helped.

Respected sir
It is good idea because everyone should know the criteria of selectio and why they were failed in getting the scholarship.you can do one thing that to eligible candidates you give money but for participants please give certificates because atleast they have taken the initiative to participate.

Thanking you

goodevening sir,
i am new to this site and i dont know how to apply for these on going scholarships .
would you please assist me .

Hello sir I am a new member to this forum and the idea you are implementing is good but I have a doubt. You said that the points gained by the candidate is permanent. That means if a person like me who is new to this forum has to work very hard to reach the stage of getting a certificate. Because due to this permanent marks system all the top marks scorers can have a chance to get certificate in every session (if they doesn't convert their marks to money) then when will the candidates like me are going to get a certificate ? ( Because all are interested in getting a good certificate but not conversion of marks to money, thats the reason I had this doubt sir).

Thanking you sir.

Yours truly,
Anupam

i think this was a good option for those student who r intrested in making money through online and this one is the best thing that after collecting 1000 points he will be got Rs1000.

how to answer the queries of people..........i wouls also like to be a part of this......tell me way

Chance will be given to those who perform well in their test

I think you should give the scholarship to those user whose reply were useful to the person who asked the doubt.
Give 5 points to every reply but if the person who asked the doubt approves the reply then award 15 point extra..
And then at the end see whose point are maximum.

Dear friend,

You had said a valid point but 15 points is a big sum for a single thread you can make it as 10. Thats what I suggest and about the remaining things what you said is proper and makes sense. We will hope a positive response.

Hai
When will the scholorship reach my house? Can you tell me the exact date. I am asking about the june scholorship programme.Kindly reply .

its a wonderful idea. all the members and information seekers will be encouraged through this.
this website will get more exposure throughout the country and abroad also.

sir,at first i want to say thanks to you for helping a lot of students to solve their problems.
sir your new idea is great ,by using this those tallented persons can be benifited who have less time due to their colleg or office.i think you must apply this idea .now you are really providing chance to every one to win scolorship.
thank you.!

i think its an very good idea,many times what happens is many member stop answering in an particular session because they feel they don't have any realistic chance of getting the scholarship,this new system will not bring any pressure and i really think that the quality of answer will drastically increase,
my doubt is ,will there be more points than normal for really good answers os the same point will be given to all the answers?

sir,
as you are the thinking about the this scheme ,really this scheme is very much comfortable to being in the race of the competition,and also the participant will concentrate fully in this scheme so the answer quality will be also better.
and this scheme will be a surprise gift for the old member as well as for new.

I think the scholarship which is going to start in august its time period must be shortened and the number of posts must also be halved because as the scholarship program will be of more time consuming it will not be more interesting.
One thing more I want to sugeest that ranking system must change like itcould be that a individula who has been on top for maximum duration in a month be given top ranking
As in present ranking system anybody who score maximum before the final closure of scholarship gets the top ranking I think its not good.
Thanks

hello sir
it is a better idea because we cannot lost our earlier points,if you don't mine can you increase the amount of money for points after achieving 1000 points. Like if someone attain 1000 points give him a 1000 Rs. and some bonus rupees after 1500 points

sir, culd you please send me how will you give points? and even if i try to give good answers i get only 5 points. i think you should also encourage juniors or for new ones in giving scholarships :-(

hi this idea is good .i think u can add some others things in place of money that means for 500 points u can give free subscription of some book or some other thing and can also rate the suggestions

well according to me its the best way of giving equal opportunity to all,
my doubt is suppose if a member is not able to contribute for few days will his points be deducted?
or his accounts become invalid and he has to long in again?

hello sir,

the new Scholarships Plan Proposal will be very much helpful for us.

tell me when do new Scholarships Plan will be started????

Sir, its a very good idea. It will encourage the members to put more of their effort. One thing is that in converting points into rupees ,your ranking system is on points so on zero points again rank will go down.

i think even here the points should be based on the quality of the answer,
what i have found that in the present system people answering with very big answers are getting more p;points,whether there answers is correct or not is not being taken into consideration,
this should be avoided in the new format,even small answers with real usefulness should be given equal importance

I think there must be some changes brought in the scholarship program as the senoir ones don't come on the forum more frequently after winning the scholarship certificate. Though the number of new members keep on incresing but old ones can't be reatined so I feel a requirement to make some changes in the programe to retain the senior members into the forum.

Respected Admin,

The idea is appreciable and worth for both the users and the forum.

I understood the criteria of the forum's plan proposal. Here is something
i was interested to say you Admin (in regard to plan proposal).

Benefits of idea:
-> The genuine skilled members will get the worth for their work
even if they are not equipped with basic entities like Internet
and a PC or if they are irregularly online.[this in turn increases
traffic of answers also makes forum popular]

Disadvantages:
-> The fake answerer can post as many as answers he can to reach
the cash out point limit. and Can cash out his points to money before
the system can recognise his/her fake answers.

-> Even the users with no knowledge with reply to the post making the
discussion lengthy and uninteresting.Also the useful/worth ANSWER will
get hidden and unrecognised somewhere in the middle of topic
discussion.


Suggestions for little change/updation in proposal:

-> Provide highest point to the most useful answer(not answerer) as
well as least/no points to direct topic irrelated answers.

-> Raise the point redeem level to 2000 points or as such (if 1 point=1 INR).

-> Provide some previleges to ANSWER QUALITY MAINTAINERS like
increasing their points per answer, etc., in this way we can sort out
the problem of what Mr.faiyaz has furnished in this thread.

-> Introduce a system of voting of answer beneath the posts in general
discussion. By this means, we can sort out the USEFUL answers and
answers as well.
Example: Was this anwer helpful? Yes / No
or
Rate this answer(1-5):
where 1-worst 2-poor 3-average 4-good 5-excellent



Thats all i felt like telling you because i want this forum to
emerge as a india's biggest forum.

Apologies, if i irritate you writing this big.

Thank you for giving me an oppurtunity to suggest.

Regards.

You have discussed the whole matter very well.

However, let me clear few of your doubts.

Disadvantages:-

-> The fake answerer can post as many as answers he can to reach
the cash out point limit. and Can cash out his points to money before
the system can recognise his/her fake answers.

-> Even the users with no knowledge with reply to the post making the
discussion lengthy and uninteresting.Also the useful/worth ANSWER will
get hidden and unrecognised somewhere in the middle of topic
discussion.

Forum system is well develop for this purpose.

However, for that purpose I, (TAFP members) "SUPPORT" and "MODERATORS" to get settle with this kind of problems. Even at present if someone posts fake answers, bad quality or wrong answers it get deleted by Moderators and point of the pearson get decreased. Infact there are hundreds of Spams, Abusive content get posted but people cant see it because it get deleted.

-> Introduce a system of voting of answer beneath the posts in general
discussion. By this means, we can sort out the USEFUL answers and
answers as well.
Example: Was this anwer helpful? Yes / No
or
Rate this answer(1-5):

We already have this knid of Facility, not just exact one which you are saying but a matching one.

To every post at the top right corner near (permalink) you will see a which is nothing but for Judging the Post of that person.

~Faiyaz~

Respected Sir,
I think its a great idea.its just because there are so many members who participate in the scholarships but only top 20 get the rewards.because of this a large number of peoples effort gets wasted.if you can implement this idea it will be benificial for every one whu participate in the scholarships.

@ Faiyaz:
I appreciate the reply.

However, despite of this system, I've seen few useless answers and direct
topic irrrelavent answers in some discussions. hence i have furnished this in
my post.

Second thing is that, the judgement option is not too handy for
beginnner/intermediate level users. I mea if it could be little more
handy. Like at the end of each post Rating system or as such.

I hope you understand what i mean.


Thank you,

Useless and fake answers/posts are the part of, or we can say inherent nature of such open forums. This is the way they work.

Good news is, no one can stay here and abuse the system for very long because sooner or later our good members report the culprits, and we take action. For anyone who wants to stay here for a long term, doing wrong is not an option.

The judgement is entirely our moderators work, we have to go along this way only because if members are allowed to vote each other up and down - the system will become terribly prone to Gaming.

I really appreciate your input on the matter though. Pleasure to have such helpful members in the forum. Thanks.

I dont think this proposal will work well..I dont mean that this new idea is Bad one...but i think if we follow this new proposal...the competitiveness will be lost...and students posting will be money oriented...which is am sure...not the motive of this site...

Hello sir,

thanks for your new proposal..

i think it is very good decision taken by you.you have said rightly that most of us facing lot of tension during the last days of final result.all of us trying to paste more and more to get more points for winning the scholarships.

in this way our answer quality gets poorer and poorer .this is the reality.

i think after this initiatives all of us will try to give more better answers so that the needy persons get better answers.

as i am a students so during class test i am not getting more time for this forum.now i will give answers in my leisure time.



again thanks a lot sir...

hi,
i am very happy to know that the problem of fake answerer is being recognized in this forum,
there are many posts which are completely useless and no meaning of them ,
i would like to also add that in the new system of scholarship the money should be released only after all the answers are verified ,
all the best for the new scholarship

yes.

really a good idea.

and if you will do so,

then your forum will be more popular.

and also it will earn more revenue.

There is no much harm with Useless and fake answers but the original
needy member who posts the thread will face a confusion as well as a
difficulty in finding the real answer sooner.

As a solution to this, I request you to sort the most relevant answer at
the very next of query (as 1st position / 1st answer) and so on.. I mean
sort the answers in every thread according to the relevance, usefulness,
briefness and helpfulness.

The judgement is entirely our moderators work, we have to go along this way only because if members are allowed to vote each other up and down - the system will become terribly prone to Gaming.

I really appreciate your input on the matter though. Pleasure to have such helpful members in the forum. Thanks.

I am pleased to be..

you are right, sir. I did not analyse the consequences of mis-use. But when
fake votes get into picture, things cannot be encouraged.

I raised the topic as the moderators would merely have to go through
thousands of answers everyday to evaluate them and thus the system is
slow in this process.

There could be any solution for the betterment of our system..

(Sorry, if i'm interfering into forum's private matters...& inform me if so.)

Thanks.

i think what i saw at the end of the last scholarship that most of the members are posting only on the last day,for the shake of winning,there is no importance given to quality of the answer,
i think the new scholarship will at least take out this menace

my one seggetion is that a scholorship oped only for physically handicapped student. it is best for ph student.. thanking you

Dear Bro.. Avinash,

It looks like you are very angry with the forum. Don't be. It would be of no worth.

I think you are unhappy as in this session's beginning(on 7th sep) your points
are reduced highly and you ended at 20 rank today. I am sorry dear for that.

:^|

I have seen your posts around 50 in number. I'll tell you the reason for your failure.

->You were opposing few Guidelines below...

1. Do not use sms language
2. Post answers in detail not short.
3. Do not rewrite the other members answers.
4. Use proper English and robust words.

I found these defects in your answers, dear.
I have a solution for your disheartedness.

For 6 days forget the no. of answers you make and just answer best
quality answers as many as you can. Don't matter it is 2/3 per day.

Trust me within next two days the points per post will increase considerably.

And if you want to continue with those points/post only, then keep giving the best answers you can.


GoodLuck,
MASK

@ Admin:
Sir,

After few coming over few thinkings in mind. I got this idea.

You can implement this system successfully with a bunch of inspectors.

I mean like how we have a group of moderators to inspect the answers,
we should also have a group of people monitoring over the cash canversion
area. At the instant of cash conversion, the individual member's answer
quality must be inspected and shall be paid accordingly, if the member is
eligible for the award of payment.

Think about his.


Best Regards,
MASK

hi,i think the new idea is good.I have a suggestion to add;
A query preceedence system should be introduced & 3-5 queries or similar related topics of a day which are asked most frequently should be made general queries.The most frequently asked query or related topic should be placed at the top of the table & rest to follow.The answer to the most asked query should be given greater weightage in terms of points.Only one post to the priority queries in a day should be allowed.Focus should be given on the quality of answers &marks should be awarded accordingly.This will help the forum in following ways:-

-if the general query is answered it will benefit greater number of peoples in lesser time & with variety of views

-busy members could eassily get more points answering the general queries

-the quality of answers would be enhanced.

This generally happens because a lot of good members do not really have much time due to their studies, preparations and jobs.

We want to improve upon this and change the scholarships program slightly for the better of everyone and the forum itself.

We are thinking of introducing permanent points system. In the current program what happens is: after every session, points get reseted to zero for everyone. Where as, in the new proposed program we would make the points permanent.

You'd be given points for each answer. When you accumulate a certain number of points, say 1000, you can then convert them into Rupees i.e. Rs. 1,000. After you encash them, the points will become zero again. There will be no pressure of completing certain number of posts in certain time. You'll be free to post whenever you have time. The points will keep getting saved in your account.

The better you perform with quality and quantity, more points you'll get for each answer.

In this way no efforts will get wasted ever.

This is still just an Idea we are thinking about. Please let us know your suggestions in this thread.

Yes sir, it's really really nice to hear the proposal as that completely eliminate the internal competition between the members and they can answer the question very completely and relaxedly.

So, it's my kind request to start the procedure as quickly as you can..

this is a good idea but if possible you may increase amount of scholarship then may be more students will be willingly to join and get help according to their needs to be fulfilled.
thanks

hi,
i think the new scholarship should be started as early as possible,most of the forum members are eagerly waiting for it,
more over it will be relief from this internal competition and we can really concentrate on providing really quality answers

I think this is a good step because someone have thought that this is a time waste to reply the student.But if u show him/her some gain by answering the queries most people can give their view and student get more views for his queries.Now life is so tough that it runs on give and gain policy.

So i think it is a good approach for the students to solve their queries with experts thought.

Thanks a lot.

Above mentioned idea is appreciable as long as you have funds to provide scholarships to each and every student, since it is related to money so we need to consider the availability of resources.

lest we can have like best of trimester, biannual, annual winners for top 20 and runner ups for next 10-20, depends on number of participants, but no participant should be left unrecognized.

I would like to make justice to you ..
The current scheme you proposed is also good but on a long run it would not be helpful,it will be helpful for the members alone but not the admin...
But TAPF is the best method that is must for forum,helps to maintain quality answers along with the current scholarship scheme(for top 20) is the best one to increase the standard of your forum.

its a great idea indeed. if this can be done then the persons who give less but quality replies will get their values.


i want to know one thing, dat is what is the duration of each scholarship?
