    Restriction on posting of Announcements

    Number of Announcements a user can post is restricted now. You can post maximum three announcements in a week. Monday to Sunday is considered as one week.

    I think it sould be 3 In a day or 15 for a week because we have many new things for announcement.

    but overall i can say that restricted announcement will help to prevent false announcement.

    ya..

    i also aree with santosh.. if it continued like this.. many can gain points for just unnecessary messages

    but i think it would be better if the announcements are checked by the site before they are posted.

    because only 3 announcements for a week are vey less

    Consider this. If there are 1000 members, at current rate it would lead to 3000 announcements a week which is in fact flooding. That is the reason why the number of posts are limited to 3 per week. I agree that we may have more than 3 announcements to make a week. After all how many of us read the announcements which are mostly junk.

    I think the idea of getting points by announcements is somewhat wierd. Just think honestly, would you have ever posted there more than 4-5 times if they didnt have the points with each announcement? Most of them would be "Junk" and rarely anyone would be reading them all.

    Admin has taken the right step by putting on the restriction....

    Students should share knowledge... but they have started sharing junk to earn more points....

    This is the only way to stop such students.... or else delete their profile.

    i think its some what good

    but in a broader sense it is very bad....

    y should we genuine students suffer bcoz of fake profilers...

    earlier,  if those r earning points jst bcoz of writing stupid announcements,

    then y should they  put a restriction on us toooooo......
