Dear Members,
Thank you for your kind feedback. This is extremely important for us.
We are aware of the problem you described and have made multiple changes to the forum in recent past. But as the number of messages increases, it’s clearly evident that those measures are not enough.
Here are our challenges:
1. We already have separate ‘discussion forum’ and ‘grey market message board’, but visitors still come the IPO pages to post messages as this is where live action is.
2. The traffic on the website increase over 15 times on allotment and listing days. We ‘cache’ most pages (time varies by page) to handle this spike. This limits us to provide many filters.
3. On peak days we get thousands of messages and it’s difficult to monitor each one of them ‘manually’ in timely manner.
4. @ Manofsteel - We had an ‘IPO Recommendation’ functionality earlier where any member can post their recommendations (i.e. subscribe, avoid) & review about an IPO. But member didn’t use it. We removed it a year back. We were not sure why but even our star contributors at that time didn’t use this feature for long.
5. We have a very strict moderation process. We block most of the spammers and remove the messages. But it takes longer sometime as people find creative ways.
6. We also have a ‘Spam’ button in post which send the post for review after its marked spam by a certain number of people. This is also not very effective.
7. And the biggest challenge is to keep the forum simple, intuitive and useful for novice as well as traders.
But we totally agree with you that we need better approach to handle this problem.
Here are few suggestions:
1. Create a webpage to list ‘star contributors’ and clicking on the name will list the messages by them (related to live IPO’s). The filter page already exist i.e. /ipo/ipo_discussions.asp?m=27379
2. Provide a filter which can list messages by number of likes they received.
3. We could enable the ‘IPO Recommendation’ functionality once again, this give opportunity to every member to provide recommendation like an analyst. (SEBI may not like it as there people may not be registered with them :(ïŒ)
Please suggest which feature will help. Also feel free to share more ideas. Please note that we analyses every feedback carefully and try to implement them asap as long as they are feasible.
We recently acquired Traderji.com, an online community for traders. Soon we will start more IPO activities on traderji, which has many cool features of a community, the feature you are asking for. Its way more controlled and designed for longer engagement.
Thank you,
