San Dai,

I wanted to publicly take a moment to thank you for removing threads driven by blind hatred and bigotry from the main section of Kurakani.

I am pretty certain that mine is not the only voice when it comes to expressing utter disgust with people who cannot be respectful of others and misuse the privileges provided by a platform like Sajha.

Thanks again for not letting hate and prejudice hijack this forum. I believe there are others on Sajha who are applauding your decision too.

It is always good to see you taking charge and reminding people that if they break the rules, they will be held accountable for it.

I remain well wisher and admirer of Sajha and the great job you do :)

CH

great Job, as always !

Great job indeed! thanks san dai!

I am with all of you in this case...

Thank you San Dai.You are winner as always.

San dai, if you remove these kind of threads as soon as they open it, people will be discouraged opening these threads jasto lagcha..just a thought. I'm sure it'll be a tedious job for you but this place will be like sona ma suhaga..:)

Ummm THANK YOU SAN UNCLE or UNCLE SAN :-)

astalaa vistaa

sayami, what a double standard you have, you were the one who was starting those hatred threads. and now u come in here this thread to thanks san for fu(king removing ur own posting and then again sometime you might vomit that you have the right what you wanna tell u ca tell, wrong and completely prejudice from ur side.

and sayami u r not only a person, u r and element who is harmful to our society as a whole. sorry sayami u were the one who should have been banned from sajha for vomiting such hatred towards ur own community. and if we look into those threads we can find plenty of sayami likes.

First off all, thank you Admin for your conscience to salvage our Nepali brotherhood...or what's left of it here on Sajha !

To some extent I agree with Thopa...

Without calling out names...there are few members who have posted in this thread above who have been all over these hatred threads, and they know very well who they are. I think its high time we all look within ourselves and say NO to any sort of hatred, be it here on Sajha, or in our everyday lives. The best thing would be to start within ourselves. Some of the things I read and have seen here on Sajha are the things I hardly every noticed when I was in Nepal....unfortunate, shocking, distasteful....u name it ! Until and unless we cleanse our thinking, simply removing a thread from one site, even though a good start, ain't going to help....it may disappear from Sajha,but it will pop up in million other sites, be it from same person under different identity....or from a different person with various other aliases. As far I know, my identity is a Nepali, and I see teh same in you, he, her, she and them..........We are all Nepali first.....Thanks ! May peace prevail !

khai reply garko?

Sunkoshi kattha. Aren't you the same douuchebag who stirs shit in here time and again? Grow up kid! Remember a week ago when you stirred SAME shit by saying that Newars are the racists. Are you a pathetic psycho or something? Bipolarly disorder le satai racha ki ke ho? Jo chur teskai thulo sor?

You two, Sunkoshi and Balbhadra...

take your sh@t outside this thread and punch eachother all you want...freaking morons...get a life ! This thread is to thank the admin for removing stupid racist threads...not to start your bickerings !

How can you be sure that the admin is not racist ???
Actually he even doesn't care if any post is racist or sexist, Sajha is basically his business, his bread and butter.

A couple of points

(1) It is good to see at least some people voicing their opinion on the subject. I am willing to bet there are others out there who have chosen not to speak up for whatever reason but who think there should not be such hate driven threads on Sajha.

(2) I think this was a very mild disciplinary measure by San dai. He did not delete the thread or lock out the users. He merely moved it to the "Our Difference section". This is his site and it is his prerogative to do what he pleases, but I thought he was being very lenient there. Most major sites like the groups in Yahoo, Google, MySpace would not put up with hate threads either and they might actually take more stern action like deleting the thread/group and disabling the account of repeat offenders. Each site has different thresholds for tolerating such stuff - you can get away with it for longer on some sites than others - but it is no unknown for site admins to take this kind of action when the forum gets taken over by such posts.

(3) Knight Crawler said "Until and unless we cleanse our thinking, simply removing a thread from one site, even though a good start, ain't going to help....it may disappear from Sajha,but it will pop up in million other sites, be it from same person under different identity....or from a different person with various other aliases."

Agree about the need to cleanse our thinking as you so aptly put it. That's gotta be the long term solution. But in the interim, actions like what San dai did are baby steps that might contribute to how people can go about changing their thinking. When you know you cannot get away with hurling such egregious racist charges,and you are held accountable even in a small way for it, there in can begin the process of self examination. As for such stuff popping up in other sites, unless such people go about hosting their own sites, they are bound to run against the tolerance threshold of most community oriented sites like the ones mentioned above

Sajha can and perhaps should be a forum for discussing differences in a healthy and civil way in my opinion. There is plenty that can be discussed in an informed and civil way. However it should not provide a platform for people who are bent of spewing out hate and maliciously putting others down - that to me is a clear abuse of the privileges given to them.

(4) I don't for a second buy the notion that all San dai cares about is money and he is so driven by it that he does not have any responsibilities. The very fact that he has intervened, taken charge of the situation and removed threads and disallowed users on numerous occasions is proof enough that he has acted responsibly- sometimes perhaps even jeopardizing his financial interests by being tough on users some of whom might have been able to bring about financial benefits in the long rung (like banner ads, word of mouth references etc)

But if money is a motivator - then so be it - this is not a charity site - and it's a good thing IMHO. The admin is ultimately responsible to ensure there is good content on this site and whatever he deems necessary to do so - including rewarding and punishing users - is entirely up to him regardless of what his business model is.

(5) I have been part of several groups and community oriented sites out there and one of the most elemental things that everyone understands is if you deliberately and repeatedly do something on such a site that you could not do in the open community, you will be held accountable for it in some form or the other at some time or the other.
Sajha should be no different on that account.

Just my thoughts.
