Actually Guys, I recognize Forum View-ability as a problem since quite a time now. And I do have a plan for it. We do need to work on the "Knowledge gained:Pages viewed" Ratio.

We'll discuss this over at Moderator's Lounge and you will definitely see our announcement regarding this, in a week or two. Of course, we will require the member's help.

Many congrats Samarth ! Wish you all the very best in your new role

Take Care & Best Wishes

Congrats to the new Mods- Samarth & Ananth

Anant and Samarth - welcome to the arc-lights. You both have been around long enough to know what it will take to rise up to the expectations of your fellow forum users. And to realize that 'sense of fairness and justice' is eventually subjective. No one can put a quantifiable measure to it. Which is why moderation here requires as much of the mind as the heart. And also why it is a 'responsibility'.

Over the past few months, it is not just that the core team's efforts have suffered from divided attention leading to an urgent need of added hands on the job. The real reason is the incessant and rapid increase in the volume of forum interactions. Increasing membership, an ever growing variety of two-wheelers and an easy access to the internet have led to a tremendous growth in on-line activity. And increasing volumes have always been a challenge to quality. Quality, which can range from ensuring adherence to forum etiquette to sifting the relevant from the unnecessary and also be about nipping potential disputes in the bud, remains the mainstay as well as the target for all moderation effort.

For starters you have the support of our xbhp brethren and direct access to the existing core team and mods for any help that you might need. In time you shall be the same for others that will follow your path. We collectively wish you the very best with this new responsibility.

Congrats Anant and Samarth !

Congrats guys. Hope you guys could would improve the brotherhood!

Congratulations Anant and Samarth. Well deserved. Like OF and Sunny already said, it is a big responsibility and we (all xBhpians) are always there to help you.
