I deeply condemn such an act and would request the administrators of the blog to remove such an option of trashing any article. Only the editors should have any such right that two they can propose to the chief editor and on approval of the same any article may be trashed.

Your articles are very thought provoking, deeply spiritual, and there can be thousands of people around the globe who swear by them. But they should not take the stance of preaching and enlightening the whole world. Then the conflict starts, and people have a tendency to dump them in the trash can. Infact, you personally had asked me to give my comments on some of your articles, but I preferred to keep quiet, as I do not agree with some of your views. As Madhuri has aptly said, its the freedom of choice!

I was told we cud express here whatever we wanted. But if this forum is meant for the news of ”politics” alone, then adieu from my side, as to me politics is the shallowest thing on earth!

Dr. Ratan is sharing beautiful things; its ugly to trash them. You dont agree, fine, but trashing implies trashing someone’s heart... heart is where God dwells...

”Bay shak Mandir, Masjid touro Bulle Shah ye Kehta

Pyar bhara dil na touro, is mein Eshwer rehta!”

I read all articles of Dr. Saini, all are excellent pieces. However, what’s the point in just rewriting the “good words of Great Saints” here.

Instablogs should simply ask the person trashing somone’s article to give an appropriate reason for doing so! and only if they are able to give any reasonable reason for doing so, should the article be trashed!]]> Trashing someone’s articles is nothing but an act of cowardice. This act simply reflects the doer’s weak state of mind! It’s like damaging a painter’s painting, just because you yourself can’t paint!

When Instablogs has open policy and allow any article to be posted and liked by members than what is the justification that which gives right of deleting an article.

If it is desired to control the quality of articles then let it be referred first to the editor and then on its approval it may be published. But once any one can freely anything then how one can delete the same without any valid rule or reason?

I request Instablog administration to please clarify this point and let everyone know the change, if any, in this policy of trashing?]]> Thats right !!

I didn’t even know it was possible to trash an article, and knowing it is now, I can’t fathom the idea. I will not lie and say I am an avid reader of Dr. Ratan’s work, but after seeing his post, I had to investigate the commotion. Whether the few readers responsible for the destruction of his work would like to admit it or even feel the same way, Dr. Ratan’s work is obviously, due to his stars and comments ON EVERY ARTICLE, doing something right in MANY readers eyes. It seems rather ”almighty”, in my humble eyes to take that gift from someone else simply because one chose to think it was ”inappropiatly” categorized. Do the same people rip out pages of novels, encyclopedias, and other texts they have no intrest for? Are they the ones that rip out pages of magazines left for ALL patients to read in the doctor’s office? I had no idea as a general rule for blogs and otherwise we were FORCED to read each and every article..(I’ve got my work cut out for me). Haven’t they ever heard of Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder or how about this one: ONE MANS TRASH IS ANOTHER MANS TREASURE?]]> WOW.

You are very good in playing to the gallery, aren't you? You have all the freedom to publish your stories without being trashed. I gather that stories are buried when a certain number of users 'trash' it. It is not possible for only one member to trash a story and bury it as it seems to have happened with some of your posts.

It is the community that makes your post reach the popular section of the homepage and it is the community that removes it from there. The power is with the community and not with the individual. So you might find some of your stories being made popular only to find their way in the trash can the next moment.

The irony is that only popular stories become conspicuous (by reaching the popular section of the homepage), and only conspicuous stories are trashed!

So what you feel about your stories are not exactly what the reality is. Contrary to being popular, your stories actually proved to be unpopular and hence, trashed.

Hope you will feel a lot better now.]]> Dr. Saini,

If you pay attention, you will see three more buttons besides the ’Trash’ button. Now, I would like to say just one thing - if you are prepared to celebrate the first three buttons, then you should also be strong enough to accept the importance of the fourth button ie. the ’Trash’ button.

Its got to do with freedom of choice and any intelligent person like you should know that ’your treasure is not always treasure for others’..and whats not treasure is TRASH.

Personally I feel you should try to nail a good publishing house and make a paperback of your poems, both original and lifted. And yeah, be well aware about the copyright issue.

BTW, I’m going to exercise my right to hit one of the four buttons at the top right corner of this post. Any guesses Dr. Saini, about the button I’m gonna hit?]]> Hello Dr. Saini,

It should be made mandatory for the “trasher” to give two reasons for his/her action and these reasons should be made public along with the identity of the “trasher” on the article page. This may bring down instances of unnecessary “trashing”.

One of my articles also was “trashed’ by some one. But when I contacted the Instablogs Team, they found the article good, “untrashed” it and moved it to the Home page. You can read it here: Will the Communists support the Congress-led government if Manmohan Singh is replaced?

It is clear that some well laid rules are needed in this connection.

Instablogs may make a separate section available for philosophical deliberations, poems, religious discourses, etc. as Deepak has suggested. And as he has said, the “TRASH” option should be in the hands of the chief editor, who may act on receiving a certain number of “TRASH requests” from Community members.]]> The TRASH feature is meant to serve a good purpose. But it is also used for other purposes, like “doing away” with an article the “trasher” doesn’t like or “suppressing” the views of a writer whom one doesn’t like, etc.

This is same way how an article get popular and moves to homepage.

There is no Editorial control over it. But if you are a popular writer like Dr. Saini, who is a Super Editor, then his articles needs more than few trashes to get removed.

Democracy has negative shades as well.

*But look on the other hand 44 comments, you have got a great community build around your opinions.]]> An article can be trashed by any registered member. Once it receives enough ”trash votes” it moves away from the homepage.

My article which was “trashed” (pl. see my Comment above) was trashed within less than 10 minutes of posting it on Instablogs, and when the article was still in the Upcoming section.

It was easy to understand it had been “trashed” by a person who had been infuriated by my Comments (and those of some other well informed members) in the ongoing discussion on an article at that time (the number of Comments had crossed a hundred). The inability to take part in a discussion with an unbiased and objective mindset led the person to “trash” my news based article that was in no way unfit for publication.

I don’t think 14 members had read that article within 10 minutes and all the 14 found it unfit or objectionable. I think, it is possible for any one member to “trash” an article, clicking the mouse sufficient number of times.

Democracy doesn’t permit one person to hurt another, or empower one person to prevent another from expressing his/her views. The suggestions made here, by a number of members, to introduce some regulations about the use of the TRASH feature are valid and they deserve consideration. ”Regulations” are the very foundation of ”civilization” and they need not be seen as a form of ”tyranny”.

One member can trash a story only once, just like one member is allowed only one vote/star per story.

Democracy has some benefits and some pitfalls as well.

Just tell me a better solution than to let our readers moderate the stories. We don`t want team of editors to police stories submitted. Not all stories deserve to be on homepage.

So there are two options, hire a team of editors to star or trash stories or let users do it.

Please tell me which is better one?]]> @ R.M.Paulraj

Hope you write sensible articles which present original ’good words’ and help us understand why we should choose your path to reach ’HIM’ by reading plagiarized content and ramblings.]]> Dr. Ratan Saini, the self professed guru of Instablogs. You may have a huge fan following here thanks to your plagiarized material from almost all the religious books. Reminds me of the Pied Piper who led all the mice to the water body. Pied Piper however used original ideas. If getting stars does good to your self esteem and a ’trash’ hurts a man of your stature so much, I must say you are really weak as a writer and can’t handle criticism. We do not need the ’good words’ of ’great saints’ to be retold here and what readers would like to see is some relevant and original write ups. If one is truly interested in such ’priceless gems’ one can always go ahead and buy the original books. Seeking followers for yourself by private messaging people and pleading them to comment (which would mean starring and nodding heads to every word you copy from others)is not only childish, but also annoying.

But I can’t so I shall close my eyes, because a WISE and ENLIGHTENED man recently told me ”True beauty 1000000 times more beautiful than Heaven can be viewed with closed eyes.”

I don’t want Instablogs to become a platform for plagiarised and pseudo secular articles, reeking with essence of spirituality. Everybody should have the freedom of choice, and for someone who proclaims to be way above us, the ignorant and the ’fallen’ lot, this mere trashing of an article should not have affected him so much..what say??

]]> Tue, 05 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0000 Michael C http://mikool.instablogs.com http://mikool.instablogs.com Michael C I have just found this article and would like to comment on it. The idea of any contibutor having the right to trash an article is ridiculous. It’s like a reader deciding what goes into Times of India online or any other news outlet.

It would never occur to me to trash anyone’s work, whether I agree with it or not. A lot of people work hard to keep this site online, and it’s sheer arrogance to imagine that one can decide, just because it suits them, to trash whatever they feel like.

On the other hand, maybe the ”trash?” button should forward the story to an editor, who decides. AND IF PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE EDITORIAL LINE OF IB, THEY ARE FREE TO GO ELSEWHERE! Since when did people decide to control the expression of others? Answer; since dictatorships exist.
Trashing is not democratic, it’s anarchic censorship.......and that’s precisely why editors exist, to counter it.

Even the editor’s consent to trash the article should be accomapined by proper reasons .What if the dictatorship of crooked minds on Instablogs gets replaced by the dictatorship of editor ? Either limit the intervention of editor or come to frame the panel of reputed and sensible members to decide the fate of controversial article.Then the decision of the panel to trash the article,being accompained by proper reasons,should be put to vote.If the majority comes to ratify the decision of the panel members with proper reason only then the green signal to trash the article be given .]]> @ Michael C

But I guess, DIGG was clever enough to use ’bury’ instead of ’trashing someone’s opinion’. It is better if someone objects its presence by burying it.

So MANY synonyms to a better effect than to ’trash’, for example: entomb, inhume, etc...
There should be an ultimate delete also, just the rights should be the same voice from the originator of the opinion.]]> This word ’trash’ is harsh enough to tell you that your ’thoughts or views’ are deleted.

Thank you for your reply. I couldn’t agree more with your concerns concerning the control of what is published and what is not on an internet site. They are legitimate.

But, if I may say so, we do live (or want to, in any case) in a society where free expression is allowed. This means that people also have the right to put up web sites which reflect their general thinking.

Fascists put up their sites. So What? Liberals and socialists too. Jews and muslims as well. THAT’S NORMAL. If you don’t like them, don’t go there!!

What is not normal, on the other hand, is a free-for-all where everyone wants to control the orientation of an internet site.

If someone wants to control what’s put up on a site, GREAT! ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS PUT UP A SITE OF THEIR OWN!! Bandwagon jumpers are everywhere. Not concerned enough to contribute, they behave like spoilt children. They break the toys. Too lazy to do the work, and too bourgois to have real convictions.

LET’S GET REAL HERE!!!!....]]> @ Arvind

THE LONG AND SHORT OF TRASHING

I think there are some missing links . I have been on Instablogs for quite a long time now .I have come to realize that there is subtle attempts on the part of some denizens on Istablogs to clip the wings of some writers for the reasons best known to them .Like U.S. they are acting as a watchdog and like U.S. demolishing anyone who is not with them.They have adopted a certain pattern .Plant dubious stories about the person , spread bull-shit lies and if that’s not possible kill the very spirit of the writer via personal attacks enveloped in malicious intent.Instablogs ,of late ,has become idle platform for such distorted , crooked and derailed mindsets.

Cant’ they follow the simple rule that it’s best to ignore the piece if it dosen’t fit within your set of convictions.But that does not happpen. Some people start acting as ”Messiah ” even as they get exposed in an attempt to correct others.They are ready with their dos and don’ts ,fabrications of worse types and twisted logic.It’s not an attempt to silence these wicked people because that’s the very nature of world -to have all type of people . I am merely trying to create room for people who want to say something but are unable to do amid negative currents.
I have come across number of articles on Instablogs discussing size of penis , boobs etc. which for any sensible reader is shocking and appalling and devoid of any clinical purpose .I could have gone in for trash button but I didn’t do . Because it’s quite possible that such article are serving as a life-line for many on Instablogs who either want attention or seek pleausure .So whom am I to deny their quota of pleasure?Though my belief pattern has no place for these articles but this might not be the case with others.For them reading and endorsing such bogus article could be the top priority !!

In my eyes only those articles which are written to destroy the personna of writers , which are written with malicious intent aimed at defaming the writer and articles full of lies ,abuses and distotred facts are fit enough to be trashed but not without proper explanation and strict scrutiny .Let’s not downplay the image of anybody who is trying to resurrect certain values and beliefs with a right mindset. If you can’t digest such articles or for that mattter can’t come to terms with his/her popularity then please get away from his way instead of entering in personal vendetta with set of lies and prejudiced views .It’s my personal request not to turn Instablogs into a medium for settling personal scores . And if you are still intersted in locking bhorns please do it on merit and not via corrupt means .]]> @ Michael C ,
