Keeping topics relevant to residents of Bukit Jelutong
The establishment of http://bukitjelutong.net was to serve the residents of Bukit Jelutong in Shah Alam, Malaysia.
The idea was that content on this site would be entirely user generated. The rationale is so that (1) no one person is burdened to continuously update the content on this site; (2) we do not need to hire writers to post content. We would open the site up to anybody to post content based on the principles below:
- relevance to residents
- builds the community
- adds value to the community
Thus, in order to serve residents better, we have made a few changes.
I have re-introduced the user points and content voting system. However, I have re-set all points to start from zero. The content voting system, it is hoped, will help give the community a chance to voice what are the types of contents relevant, builds and adds value to the community. With the linkage to the user points, each user can determine whether they are contributing positively to the community or not.
It is hoped that this will help self-regulate the site.
