Pictures and video uploaders, satire and witty writers demand to increase the OBJECTIONS count to 20.
When our rail fan journalist approached them, a photographer from TVC/KCVL
" Earlier, my pics used to get dozens of GREATS. Nowadays, I hardly get 5 GREATS and 5 Objections is resulting in LOCKED.

demand Hash Twelve to to increase the objections BAR to 20. Maybe, he can lock the post @ 5 GREATS but keep it in public viewing
even @ 20 Objections. Nobody is now interested in GREATS or THANKS. Every finger itches and inches towards OBJECTIONS.
Even silly pics like Station board, AlCo smoking got tons of Greats but a Train Board of Coromandel Ex got 5 objections within a min"
Another satire writer when contacted refused to comment. But upon anonymity he said that his posts are safe and sound in LOCKED SECTION
and anyone can visit them anytime.
Popular Race Blogger and LHB palmist also agreed that OBJECTIONS count should be increased.
" I used to predict that so and so train would be getting LHB coaches or WDP4D's and people happily made a controversy on their own.
But now, with 5 silly clicks, my Palmistry on LHB coaches is getting locked. This cannot go long way."
Biryani and IRI will never taste good without MASALA is the commonn opinion heard everywhere.

In the earlier days of IRI, the grounds for Deletion of Blogs were very clear-cut. Offensive/abusive posts were promptly removed. As the Site/Forum matures, it is time for these policies to be upgraded.
.
Over the past few months, the number of controversies have soared. On the face of it, the controversial blogs are perfectly legitimate - they seem to be "natural discussion points". But looking closer, there is much more going on beneath the surface. Ultimately, the effect of such "apparently harmless" blogs is exactly the same as that of the "highly...

offensive blogs of the past". However, it is very difficult to explain "Why was my blog deleted? It is perfectly harmless!!!".
.
Accordingly, the following features will be introduced by tomorrow.
1. We shall be adding a new Opinion called "Objection". Any long-time member (recipient of >= 50 positive opinions) will be able to make an "Objection" to ANY blog, based on his OWN perception. The Objection will be anonymous. Reason need not be provided.
.
2. If any Blog exceeds 5 Objections, the blog will AUTOMATICALLY be REMOVED. Whenever a Blog is removed, the member will automatically get a Pvt. Post to that effect notifying him of the same.
.
3. All members will be able to view their deleted posts (along with regular posts) under the "My Posts" subtab.
.
4. The number of Objections against any member will be displayed against that member's statistics.
.
Hopefully, the above evolution of Deletion standards will stem the tide of controversies in this site.
