Hi Guys,
This thread has seen active participation by many, and the issue has been discussed form multiple perspectives. Time has now come for VP Core Team to intervene.
From VP Core Team deliberation on issue (Ayush, Hitesh, Donald, Abhishek, Sandeep), two things are pretty clear
1. Subash Nayak has been adding value to VP over last few years
2. His recent conduct is unbecoming of a relatively Senior VP member
a) he has not complied with the guidelines, instead
b) he has been openly mocking Admin in particular, and VP Guidelines in general
c) there is absolutely no sense of identification/belonging/pride with VP Ethos & Culture
d) there is some merit in the "Advertisement" charge being labeled against those who refuse to properly examine/respond to counter-arguments against one's "invested" ideas
Above conduct is pretty damaging and sets a bad precedent if others were to follow in Subash's footsteps. No matter how valuable a member's past contribution, it comes to nought if there is no respect/identification to the Community Ethos & Culture. Subash's recent posts are clearly indicating he is not here at VP to learn, share and grow with us, he is here for other things.
VP Core Team is unanimous in recommending a Temporary suspension (30 days extendable to 90 days) of Subash Nayak's membership.
