What Counts as a Violation When Posting in the Wrong Forum Category?

Dear All,

In each and every thread, there is an option for reporting violations. Can anyone tell me what all counts as a violation?

If anyone posts a topic on Financial Management under HR Administration, should we consider this a violation?

If anyone posts a topic on HR Administration under Law & Legal Issues, should we consider this a violation?

If anyone posts a topic on Financial Management under Safety and Health of your employees, should we consider this a violation?

Please let me know what the procedure is if anyone posts a wrong subject under any forum.

Regards,

Dipil Kumar V

Dear Dipil,

Please review the points mentioned below, as these are the guidelines that are not permitted in this forum, CireHr.com:

Discussions of suicide or self-harm that are deemed negative and potentially injurious to others are also prohibited.

2. No use of explicit, obscene, or vulgar language, images, or messages, including racist remarks.

Dear Dilip,

The concern you have raised has already been addressed by many members and moderators, and we are expecting a positive development regarding this matter in the near future.

Rest assured that Mahr has provided an explanation.

Thanks to both the moderators for the comments on the topic...

I have gone through the regulations, and in which point 17 clearly mentions off-topic posting under any section may even be deleted. This sometimes happens without knowledge but surely not always. I am requesting the moderators to look into the matter seriously, and if you find off-topic posts in a particular section, please move the same post to the relevant section. I am not expecting you to delete it. If the member is new, they may be doing this without having proper knowledge about the site.

I am basically participating more in the Safety Health of Your Employee section. You can see many non-relevant posts and discussions going on there. This is one of the reasons for less participation. If I suggest to any of my friends to come and join the site, at first glance, they will get irritated. The first impression is the best impression. This happened to me, which is why I am pointing it out. Many members in our forum convey this through their posts. Please take this seriously and try to resolve this issue. It will surely help improve the effectiveness of the forum.

No doubt, citehr.com is a great initiative, and I have personally benefited a lot from it. For the same, I would like to really appreciate and thank the owner and the moderators of this great forum.

I hope that as moderators, you will surely move the irrelevant posts under the Safety Health of Your Employees section. If this happens, I can feel some benefit from this thread.

Let us make some more efforts to make this place a great and perfect one.

Regards,

Dipil Kumar V

Dear Dipil,

As mentioned in point 17, that is correct. However, we, as moderators, don't delete posts unless we find them to be totally irrelevant. Instead, we move posts to the relevant thread or topic.

Thank you for your comment, and I appreciate your active contribution to citehr.com.

Good luck!

Hi Mahesh,

Thanks for your quick feedback.

Now, please look into the following posts under the section Safety Health of your Employees. Are they relevant to the section title? If not, please do the needful to move the same posts to relevant sections:

1. https://www.citehr.com/282406-learni...chatantra.html
2. https://www.citehr.com/282908-hello.html
3. https://www.citehr.com/282303-resignation.html
4. https://www.citehr.com/282823-sap-modules.html
5. https://www.citehr.com/282765-labour...0-workers.html
6. <link no longer exists - removed>
7. <link no longer exists - removed>
8. https://www.citehr.com/279867-psara-act-2005-a.html

What is the criteria for moving one post? Who will decide whether this post should be moved or not? On which forum should one highlight the non-relevant post for moving to the relevant section?

Hope to get a positive feedback.

Regards,
Dipil Kumar V

Dear Dipil,

I have moved the threads you mentioned to the relevant topics. Please let us know if you come across any more non-relevant posts in a thread.

Thank you.

Dear Dipil,

I am sure your concern will be addressed, especially now that you have sounded off. Super Moderators keep on moving threads to appropriate sections. In many threads, I even put a remark to this effect, depending on the context. However, due to limitations in terms of time or plain oversight, some threads keep lying in irrelevant sections. Such threads will continue to be moved to relevant sections. Members can help by sending a PM to the moderators.

Warm regards.

Hello Everyone,

I think this is a very good combination of posting and responses. I also think there is one particular aspect (not sure if I can call it a 'design flaw') why this sort of postings get into the Forum in the first place – whether to call them incorrect or irrelevant is up to the viewer. In fact, I too faced it earlier.

When someone wants to place a new thread, quite often he/she uses the 'New discussion' button at the bottom of the screen. Though a new thread is opened with the Title entered by the person, it gets displayed with the OLD Section tag. I am not sure if my usage/understanding is wrong. If yes, please do correct me. If not, please modify the method of postings.

Regards,
TS
