You are being too honest, brutal and emotional at the the same time.
I agree that this seems like a losers' board. Unneccassary negative criticism instead of focus on finding solutions.
Of late this trend has rather accelerated and most good contributors have simply moved on with life never bothering to input their valueable time here any more.
But then you need to understand that in the end it is upto the owner and moderators to decide how they want to handle it. If they choose to let it be a playground for free speech then there is not much one can do.
Remember the Golden rule, who has the gold will make the rule
In every phase of life one comes across people who would discourage you from doing something they themselves are doing!!! but thats life.
It is a particularly interesting aspect of Indians abroad that they tend to discourage, sometimes totally without any reasoning, any potential new comers. Loads of such people will tell everyone else to stay put in India although they themselves visit it once in 5 years...in other words they love India but only when abroad; but you know what, The newer generation of Indians understand such people very well and hardly spare a thought to what they have to say. This is something that can not be fixed overnight and will remain with us for long time.
Internet is about the free speech so anyone can indulge to his heart's extent. There is not much one can do about it. Its upto the moderators to decide what they want to appear on this board.

I am neither for nor against encouragement to anyone. There are positive posts and there are negative posts. My point is to request the administrators of the board to disallow both. What I am trying to say is that while in some cases they may do good for someone, it is equally likely that they may be just as bad for some!! In my personal view, no board should allow opinionated content that in any way, has the potential of being relied upon by people that might lead to them messing up their lives. If anything, the purpose should be limited to providing facts and factual answers to questions. No advice and no suggestions related to prospects should be permitted for public posting. Members if interested should use the PM facility as an alternative.
Just my opinion! I don't think I will be able to live with myself, if I ever came to learn that someone believed what I posted on this site, irrespective of whether it was positive experience or a a negative one, and ended up ruining his life as a result.

I repeat, tomorrow if someone ends up making his life a mess and considers the the posts on CD that were in someway responsible for him having taken decisions that led to the disaster, how comfortable would the administrators of this board and you feel with that? No doubt, neither the members on the board nor the administrators would be responsible in any legal sense, but would you able to sleep with a clear conscience knowing that perhaps your comments and statements were in some way, maybe even partially, responsible for the plight of this person who neither knew you nor met you, but yet he relied on your input and took your words for granted, positive or negative, whatever??? It is almost criminal in my opinion! For God's sake, wake up and stop playing with people's lives for the sake of your petty entertainment!!
I'll sleep as soundly as I always have.
You ARE entitled to your opinion.
Let me remind you that the only thing that is within your control is your own behaviour. My actions and reactions are not under your control and You will rest better if you do not try to control my actions due to your enlightened status and opinions
. Give us mortals a chance to continue as we always did.Thanks for understanding
ever smug

Really!?? You will sleep in absolute peace and comfort, with not even a hint of guilt, even though you got to know that someone read your post, relied on your comments, accepted what you said, took you for your word, and ended up destroying his life as a result.
No offense meant but that does look like a lot of apathetic attitude, no?

I have no intentions of doing anything like that. It is just that my heart goes out to those people back home who might commit grave errors on account of the "negative" vs "positive" match on this site!!
My request in any case is to the moderators and administrators, since it will eventually be they who are responsible for the effect this site has wherever.

I already told you the answer. I do not have such an exalted opinion of myself when it comes to influencing the decisions of others, nor do I underestimate the reasoning abilities of others.

Since every individual is different, and there is no common yardstick that can be applied to all, it is essential that all potential immigrants judge prospects for their future on their own merit, develop and use deductive logic most suitable for themselves, conduct their own research, talk to others and learn from experiences if they have to but ensuring that it is done at a personal level, use rationale and intellect, and not be misled by individual stories of either success or failures!
Dio, You answered your concern by your above quote. And this is the only part i agree in your post.
Please remember : This forum is just a gathering of different experiences and perspectives , it does NOT represent hard facts all the time. Perspectives in any discussion can be right or wrong .
The members here volunteer to share their opinions and experiences from their own perspectives.The intention is only to share experiences, right or wrong .
the readers can just "use deductive logic" as you call it.
Any medium of speech tends to get slanted depending on its contributors , be it newspapers, TV channels, a street rally . And now that we have a group of people who share with others their experiences , it is wrong to stop them .
If someone choses to base his decision to migrate or not to migrate solely based on this forum then he is making a grave mistake , because the perspectives provided here are that on a handful of people, and could be far from what is true for the prospecive immigrant.
Going by your post if someone asks here about the experiences on migrating to Canada ...the answer should be ...ummm...err ..
No comments!!.
This kind of curbs on freedom of speech will work in Saudi arabia ( no offence) but not in the free speech world.
