Well, As you rightly said, things can go in wrong way if we started having special rights for some members due the fact that they are more active or they belong to MOD group or something similar.Originally Posted by Emil
Hi guys!
Sounds comfortable to read that Avinash is against special rights and want to treat members equal despite if we talking people that are spending lot of time or less here or if it is mods or just members. That's great to hear and it's also one of the reasons why I decided to become member here in the first place
Don't forget to keep it that way cause I've seen other places there they couldn't or din't want to follow that idea with the result that a big part of the community became (or already was) driven of a few members that started to rule everything from their own opinion in desire to protecting this small elite interests away from new members. Today they still having big difficulties in make new members to stay and also can't see why and don't want to understand how to change this developing which actually only gives them a bad name in the long run.
I have always believed, even I am only a member here with no special rights except those which are required to manage the forum. I rarely use those rights except for some moderation like removing bad links, deleting spam etc or merging few threads or creating something new for the forum.
Thats one of the reasons, here at Avinashtech, Banning anyone is banned. We believe there are much better ways to handle things than banning.
We are here to build a friendly community accessible to everyone and there wont be any elite group here even in future whether this forum is small or big. Every member will have equal rights always whether he joined just today or one year earlier.
We do reward members just as we did in ABC but it will be transparent and not biased.
Also, we avoided ranks kind of system or point system etc for the same reason.
PS:- Sometime I am not good in writing things, so if i have missed something then others can correct me.

Yes, Thank you is a nice feature. Taking a clue from what you said, I have removed the Thank you count from being displayed.Hi guys!
Ps. Just one tip..Be careful in using charts that starting to measure popularity as it may opens up for competitions between members and then it may indicate even more for a elite and new members can't reach that level of status like others that been member for a much longer time.
Edit: With popularity above I don't mean "activity" which doesn't is the same
Must tell I like this "Thank You" feature it's both good for teaching as well help members get friends with each other. Very sweet
