Call for critics for a suggested change in train blog forum.
.
Barring some rare cases, the usual aim of a person visiting the 'Train Blog' of this site is to hunt for a specific one or a bunch of useful points about the train. From services to catering to trip reports to maintenance etc, the 'Useful' data is the one looked for.
But
...
more...
its a common observation of having the place cluttered with posts of other genres which an average layman who probably reached there by putting the train name on Google and checking the first link out, might not be interested in.
.
It follows, according to me, as a considerable suggestion to change the order of arrangement of blogs (ONLY in train blogs) and have them sorted NOT according to date but according to the count of cumulative 'Useful' opinions the blog (along with its comments) has fetched. Once the blog with the least count in achieved, the rest can be sorted the other way.
.
Ps: I will not tag this or any further one of my sitesuggestions under the hashtag because there seems no logic clogging the already crowded group of pending issues till it is unaccepted by the majority of members here. Coz even after once-in-a-blue-moon chance of its implementation, it may be forced to roll back and that makes a fun of the system.
A wide acceptance, may be succeeded by the tag.

I agree with you zahaib. This is a good suggestion. You done a good observation as a guest on the site. Sometimes i also find some blogs regarding the service of the train but due to lot of pics and all. I can't get the needy information easily unless I do a hardwork to find it out. Waiting for moderator sir to present his views on this.

Thanks for your endorsement Manit.
Also I feel I'd also be a step to make the 'Useful' opinion gain some substantial importance in the Forum.
