I checked old records and noticed that Khaternak has been banned before for something similar. Since this is his second offense and Dev has convinced me of the wrong that has happened, I have banned him for 3 days. I hadn't noticed this fact before.

Any more from this id, and he will be banned permanent.

My story is simple: The more Americanized I got, the more I procrastinated.

Nice Poe quote.

Tezy bro, sehjey sehjey gal karo, asi tuhade dost aa. Je koi galti hogayi hove, tan maaf karna.

Thanks to ankhi punjabaan for trying to resolve this here by posting responses and taking action in chat.

Lot is Unclear.

The issue is not a slow server, as far as I understand the issue is that Grenade Singh Believes that search engines are going to consider PJ as a Spammer site if we have too many useless replies. This will drop the Page rating for Punjabi Janta.


When a Site is considered a Spam?
Google/Yahoo Monitor the updates coming from the site for the purpose of Page Rank ... Usually if most of the updates are the same word like - "satnam Waheguru" ... This is a Spam. And if you have high amount of spam the search engine will drop your page ranking. (The checking by Google/Yahoo also reflect on the Speed of PJ. )

- So the topics that are required to be locked has to be the 'Active topics' in order to reduce the same updates sent back and forth all the time.

I hope everyone on the same page... so now talk

This is the whole issue. Thank you Hustler.

Rocket Singh, deleting posts will get us nowhere, because there's just too many. But what we can do is take proper steps to avoid the problem. The way to do that is to lock topics with like 10-20 pages of useless replies.

If people want to post smileys here and there, I don't mind and I never did in the past. But PJ cannot have 20 pages full of smileys or 1 word posts (late, wait, date, etc). And if people continue to do it, I can assure you PJ won't be listed top on search engines like it has been.

Thank you for your suggestions.

I wrote a very comprehensive reply to explain this mess: http://punjabijanta.com/complaints/mere-topic-kyun-lock-hoye-ne-ji/msg365728/#msg365728

mere kheal nal sanu pj te lets clean pj week manonde rehna chahida...
jehde ch har member nu chut diti jawe k o apnian puranian post nu delete kar sake. jehrian onu lage k a jada usefull nai te ena nu dlt karke koi nuksan v nai..
u can simply go to Show the last posts of this person on yor profile nale kuch yadan tazian ho jan gian nale sadi v problem solve ho jaugi..

ek hafte da kam sirf.. nd ess cheez de point v dite ja sakde ney..
jehre tuadi pj te hasiat nu improve kar sakan gey jiddan pehla v pj te option hundi si okat vali. oda da kuch

lopic lock karna ek vadia option hai delete karan nalo... par fer v ode ch bohat kuch spam varga bharea pea hunda hai. pages ode fer v 200, 300 e rehne so we can use my option ona nu halke karan lai..
kise hor kol agar koi suggestion hai ta jaroor daseo..

apne dosta mitra nu naraj karan nalo menu lagda sanu oss cheez di aje v lor hai jado open suggestion laye jande si har cheez lai..

second option vich jehrde user de topic lock hunde paye onu mes v kita ja sakda ede bare. nd karan das k izazat v mangi ja sakdi changa lagu user nu.
nd sab to jaroori thrd option
 kera topic band karna hai kera nai ede bare v slah mashwra kita ja sakda hai pj team vich ja fer open sare users nal..

shukria sarea da..

a sirf mera point of view hai. baki ki sochde ney o jaroor dasna..

first option: very risky, i wouldn't use it

second option: izazat mangne wala idea vadia hai, par menu lagda eh idea bahut slow hona hai. Asi Global Mods chune ne jo ik topic lock karan di power ta rakhde ne. Je oh power vi puch gish karke use karni fer bahut aukha hojana apna kam karna.  Delete karne di vakhri gal hai. par lock/unlock karna ik click de brabar hai.

third option: PJ team de vich jaroor slah mashwra keeta ja sakda. Especially in "PJ Staff Only" forum. Eh option theek hai. Je open karna sareya de samney oh vi bahut vadia rahu, in "Rules Regulations" forums.

These pz10 guys are all very shady. They do shady advertising/astroturfing on a lot of desi sites. They've been big leeches from Sikh Sangeet. Even taking compilations of shabads that Sikh Sangeet made, and renaming them.

I guess a lot of people depended on them for a lot of types of music. But at least the Sikh dharmik listeners shouldn't worry because Sikh Sangeet can more than fulfill their needs.

Forums da maksad
Forums sada ik than hai jithey asi bahut vakhri tara da maal share karde aa. Kai lok apne dil diya dasde ne, kayi lok shayari likhde ne, kai aukhe aukhe muddeyan te vichar-vatandra (discussions) karde ne.


Forums
Asi pehla ton ehi mangde aaye aa ke kise da topic delete na kariye, sareya nu jo post karde a karan deyiye. Menu bahut vari loka/mods/admins ne keha ke sanu "smileys post" delete karne chahide, par mein keha oh kade kade hunde, delete karke kuch farak ni pehna. par aj sara kuch badal reha...

Jado koi banda aunda apniya posts max karnli, oh sidha harek "person above you" topic vich post kar dinda, te left side te hor kuch ni disda, bina ehna games de. Koi Shayari (jehdi kisey ne saamb saamb likhi) ni disdi, koi madad di mang (help request), koi complaint, kuch vi hor nahi disda.


Slowness of PJ
There's some things about this subject which I cannot explain in simple Punjabi easily. The thing is PJ is indexed by a lot of search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft etc and they all want to know what PJ is posting. But when they encounter a huge topic like Sis Bro Gf Bf Friend Stranger, they go through each of the 187 pages to see what is there, and they alert that this is just spam. All the pages with each post having the same 4-5 words. Nothing interesting or new. The slowness comes from them trying to check all the 187 pages all the time if there is anything new, anything updated that they can check. Now if we continue to post in these same topics, we'll have 300 pages. The slowness increases. I hope I'm making sense to you all, what I'm trying to say here.


Examples of locked topics
- Ik topic hai, Give an emotion to person above (by Punjaban Kaur), jehde vich loki ik smiley naal hi post mari jande. Tusi apey dekho, eh kina bekaar lagda. Eh kam lai asi profile comments kar sakde. Par gal ethey nahi mukdi...

- Ik topic hai "whats the time" by BhootNi. (our sub admin), jehde vich loki apna current time likhde ne. Jado eh post bani si, sanu vi fun laggi si, te asi vi shayad vich post keeta hona. Par aj eh post spam is layi ae, kionki ehde vich kai janey duje din post karde ne os vele da sama. No disrespect to any user I mentioned. Ehde naal ki maksad hoya. Koi google ton search marke PJ te ave, te pehla topic oh "whats the time" parhey tan oh ki sochuga.

- Ik topic hai "fer milange ke nahi" by ji (sada chat mod). Topic sohna si, jado shuru hoya si, loki pyar naal samjaunde si milange ke nahi. Par hun ess topic dia last posts dekhunga, ohna vich iko lafaz labda "milange". Loki ohdeyi othe "milange" post karde, bas hor kuch ni. Koi gal ni baat ni.


Notice 2 gallan:
- mein haje tak 3 locked topic list keete, Gill Saab de nahi ne, balke ik sub-admin da, ik pj pari da, te ik mod da. Eh sabit karn lai ke sirf tuhade topics nahi lock keete gaye. par Gill Saab jo topic tuhade lock hoye, oh vi ehna kaarna (causes) karke hi hoye ne.
- eh sare locked topic jado shuru hoye si, kuch maza aya si, par fer hauli hauli "spam" hon lag paye. Kionki oh jo maza (fun) si oh nikal geya, te dohrayi (repetitiveness) aun lagpayi.


Conclusion
Akher'ch mein kahunga... fun da vi koi limit hunda. Tuhanu kise nu topic banona band ni karna chahida. Balke topic banayo nave nave tankey PJ te taazgi ave.

Some of my favorite topics are very long: Question of the day and Gane da jwab ganey vich. I would love to lock them and make new topics like Question of the Day Part 2, and Ganey da Jawab Ganey vich Part 2.


New Ideas
Je tuhanu navey topics de idea chahide, jehde spam nu ghata sakde... try these
- Write a letter to the person above you...
- Write 2 sentences to the person above you...
Tusi dekhogey ke ehna topics vich 2-3 words replies ni chalne. Balke bande nu kuch sochke likhna pehna.

Mein kaafi sama lagake eh post likhi hai, par fer vi mein bahut kuch miss kargeya hovanga. Menu dasdeyo, te mein kisi tara sama kadke, tuhada jawab likhunga.
