I expected that people will reply only after reading and understanding it properly but seems that most of the replies / views are biased here. First of all, if not cleared to all..
a.
This topic is not to get myself in limelight over Yoindia (as someone pointed out)
b.
This topic is not created because my work did not get proper attention but it was created as I was noticing same with work of many other people and specially new but when I wrote a poem after a long time and shared over here then I found that I was correct that poems of relatively new and unknown members are not being praised as they used to be. Hence I decided to raise this over here.
c.
Kindly understand that its not issue about my inactivity. I am strongly against idea that if one who is not regular then can not raise any topic here.
It is really sad to know that main cause of the topic was diverted by few and many other followed same idea blindly.I need to remind that I started this topic in order to remind people about ignorance towards work of new members.
Clearly from discussion over here people want to convey that I need to be regular otherwise I should not post or else (as I said) will not get much attention.
And this is what I am talking about that we should not follow such tradition.Also, I will not call it groupism but its a on going trend on Yoindia and we should get out of it. There are around 10-20 new posts on Yoindia and among them 40%-60% are shared work and other general threads hence only half of the post are original work,
so whenever you visit Yoindia with time in hand then giving reply on those 5-6 latest poem is not hard. Ofcourse this do not applies on people who are busy in their life and visit Yoindia just to see what is new.
Good work always get its part of appreciation, well then I do not agree this atleast on Yoindia, many times I saw many good poems getting buried in pile of newer but less creative work. I can give several example and I even saw few people removing their posts as they did not get attention at all. I will not name them but those people includes even senior members of Yoindia and I guess they will now understand what I am talking about.
Someone pointed out that my words were aggressive and did not look good, then I will answer that someone has to raise it. I see that many time if there is any conflict or issue over Yoindia then many people will not go against as they are friend of the person who raised it or is reason for it, even though he is wrong.
And about giving negative comments, is it so hard that I need to explain everything ? Well, should give negative but not as taunt, if there is any flaw in poem of a new poet or any poet or you want to suggest some correction then should be in friendly way and if you think that it can be harsh then send suggestion via PM. Hence we should give comment on all poem which we read. Giving friendly advice is not hard.
In the last, I will remind people that this discussion was going in one of my poem thread but I removed it from there as I do not my that poem to get extra attention due to this discussion. Is it hard to understand ? But I think yes its hard to understand for many that this debate was not to limelight any of my poem otherwise I would have not separated it from that poem.
And if I am Swarthy - Selfish then would have never started this thread and instead should have followed my own
guidelines so that I can attract more replies to my poem. So I request that before making comment people should consider all facts otherwise it leaves bad impression.
Just to remind once again, I asked people to give their real views but seems many just followed few biased views given by some members.
I hope after this discussion work of new people will get more attention irrespective their activity or availability on Yoindia Shayariadab.
