I have learnt some lessons

By: deepak27 | Posted Jun 13, 2010 | General | 929 Views | (Updated Jun 13, 2010 11:32 PM)

From the past few months, MS has been delugedby c a l l girl DPs and many members including me, have been hollering at the top of our voice asking for MS to do something. So far there have been lots of promises, similar to that of politicians, but nothing concrete has been done. When such DPs are posted, some members start shouting at MS and then they delete the DPs and return to their peacuful slumber.


Yesterday MS came out with a great feature exposing the privacy of members. Everything that you do one MS is now visible to the world, it is like attaching a spycam to your keyboard. Recently Facebookmade similar measures to invade privacy of users and faced just a backlash that they had to retract. But MS for some reason decided to bring this feature, ok fine it is their baby!


But when they have spent so much time and effort to introduce this feature, they could have spent a little more time bringing in checks and controls to eliminate the CG DP menace!And not that they dont know how to do it - there have been plenty of suggestions from members on what to do.


Yesterday one of the most senior and esteemed members Devhad posted a DP, expressing his frustration at this menace and Surajand me who were online late at night, shared our comments. Immediately, a character called Kishorejumped in and took us on and came out in support of MS and started using loose language. He passed cheap comments about two respected members, whom I consider as my sisters. So naturally, I was p off and took on him. From this interaction, few things became clear, which are also lessons I learnt:


1) This character says he is a founding member of MS and knows everything about working of MS


2) He also knows that I am a member of Facebook, which clearly indicates that this faceless creature is a fake ID! Also, if you check his timeline, you will realise that whenever someone criticises MS, he jumps to their defence.


3) Obvious conclusion is that he is a fake id, probably of one of MS admin team


4) MS has declared an open door policy for c a l l girls and has laid the red carpet for them


5) MS is least bothered about member concerns and instead uses fake ids to attack those who raise issues (check out another joker called vipin.. who accused Suraj of moral policing for raising this issue)


6) We members like this site and are hurt that the site is being affected, but obviously MS doesnt care what is happening. At this rate, this site will become knownn as a sleazy site and provider of all kinds of CG services.


If someone is vandalising your building and the owner is sleeping, isnt it your duty to wake up the owner? But if the owner doesnt bother to get up and says the police will come, so let me sleep; what should we do?


a) Go to sleep and dont care about your building, let the vandals come in and loot everything


b) Continue to shoutand scream and become a laughing stock


c) Leave the building and look for a better place to stay.


The lesson I learnt is that our building owner will continue to sleep and let his dogs loose not at the vandals, but at those who want to protect the building!! In such a case, doesnt it look like option c is the best option for concerned members?


What do you say?


PS: The objective of this post is to share my concerns as a user and not to indulge in bashing of MS or Faisal. Definitely Faisal is a genius and a intelligent businessman who has developed this wonderful platform, so hats off to him for his efforts. But as a user, I am expressing my concern and sharing my views and frustrations!
