Attention: Some changes to the Debate forum!

[Deeq A.]

Happy new season for all of you.

 

It seems to us that the purpose of the Camel Milk Debate forum has been misunderstood by many nomads. As some of you seniors might be aware, This forum was added to the website to provide the nomads some highly-polished, timely articles that entertain, inform or otherwise enhance a serious Social debate. The debate forum was designed, to appeal to many nomads whose need for a break from the daily chitchat was seen great at the time. With that in mind, the Somalia Online staff was still aware of the forum's limitations for it couldn't bring about drastic changes on how nomads look at foruming or posting in general. In other words, we didn't expect miracles.

 

Even though the style of many posts here is extremely colorful, and at times electic, more and more nomads have started to use the debate forum -- which was tailor made to appeal to those wanting more sophistication in their foruming -- for chitchatting.

 

As a result of the changing situation, we decided to take some step that will allow us to achieve our goal. Let me take the time and go through some points with you as it regards to what we expect from the nomads and what steps we, the staff, can take to make this forum more useful for the nomads.

 

[] we will now delete any "out of synch" topic

[] we will edit titles that look more like a regular chit-chat. This move, we hope, will train many nomads who might be inspired by the more professional, serious appeal. However, we should make it very clear that no content will be altered or polished by our staff. Just the title will be clarified to suit the forum's profesional look.

[] we will move hot Somali related debates (not political) from the other forums to this forum.

[] We will appoint more moderators to help us achieve our intended goal.

[] We will not private anyone of any title changes we make. Time will not premit us to private everyone.

 

 

Thank you nomads.
