Did I transgress somewhere?
Sikhi cannot be tarnished, it is evergreen and never fades.

Although our lives have become easier, Sikhi has been tarnished.
You might want to re-phrase.

Admins need to be more diligent and proactive in weeding out trolls, limit posts asking the same questions repeatedly - namely relationship, kaam, leaving Sikhi, apostate or other dhendi kala messages, or point them to previous threads.
The previous version where likes were recorded per name to be re-enabled.
Multiple fake ids purged and pounced on by tracking back through IP addy's, the avg user will not know how to redirect requests to an intermediate proxy
In order for this dying site to be kick started, focus more on Gurbani and interesting well researched topics posted by Admin
Jatha bashing should be banned or at the very least limited.
It's great that you're requesting input, real question is how much time and effort can be invested to bring to life these changes.

JusReign has a lot of media connections so if he helps us, we can get the faith to grow etc.
Lol just an idea. Probably wont happen. Most guys would probably want practising sikhs to do the job.oh wel
Sikhi can only be 'truly' propagated by someone who is solid in their faith. The words of a sacha Gursikh can transform and touch the lives of hundreds and thousands, just like we had with the DDT Mukhis, Bhai Randhir Singh and Sant Attar Singh. Getting JusReign involved will not reap the same benefits by any measure. He has sold his soul to Maya and YT hits and only recently created a disgusting video where they indirectly depicted Guru Sahib in a negative light.

It's ok to read Gurbani fast at personal level. Gursikhs who have long Nitnem can read extremely fast and with love. Everything depends on condition of surtee and whether it is steadfast.

Woah! They must be speaking at super human speeds!!!!
Fastest I've heard is 30 minutes for Sukhmani Sahib by a Singh from Hitchin (Herts) and this was back in '99 at the 300th anniversary of Khalsa Sirjana at Anandpur Sahib. To read Gurbani faster it is read in the 'man' without moving tongue. Singh's who become experts at this then overlap with audible simran or vice versa so get double laha as a result concentration increases.
My grandfather told me of a paathi Singh who could read one side of an ang with a single breath during raul, so imagine the speeds.

May look like a lot, but like the o.p said they're small clusters. Whereas in the UK, Sikhs have actually large communities in the London and Birmingham area. A lot more prominent.
Gravesend used to have the largest population of Sikhs, dunno if this is still the case.

I agree with Gurmat Bibek Singh's. Effectively KA when working on projects that are not benefiting Sikhs or propagating Sikhi are practising Dhaan and not Dasvandh.

I wouldnt be suprised I think there will come a point where "enterprising" business minded and less spiritually inclined greedy commitee members will start actually implementing that as a quick cash cow.
Also there is actually a roti making machine at darbar sahib now and they have upgraded it for greater capacity. Roti automation is not a bad thing its actually a good idea however if they start doing other stuff like robotic sewa when the AI revolution hits India then it would be truly a slippery slope. As selfless sewa is also one of the key values in Sikhi.
All these new innovations will leave many Sikh philosophers, theologions and intellectuals with a lot to think about in order to help guide the community staying true to sikhi while living in an increasing intelligent AI and robotic dominated future for humanity.
I'm not convinced. Have you ever tried the langar since the roti machines were installed? The taste is completely different to when 'sevadaars' hand made them.

I think you misunderstood my post, I'm not advocating AI, at least not in a Guru Ghar to the extent mentioned.

We're going to get robotic Gyanis soon guys. Brace yourself.
But yeah I do fear AI are a huge threat to us, it also doesn't help as it turns us all really lazy.
Be like a vending machine, swipe payment card for Sukhmani Sahib Paat and return for Auto ardaas 1.5 hours later or 30 mins if sped up, perfect for the ones who can't be bothered but gives them a feeling they've performed a great deed.
Some seva is already automated in Langars all over globe, Sikhs should draw the line somewhere. Unfortunately, we have fat bellied (with greed) leaders who care more about where their next hotel is to be built than socio-political issues facing Sikhs.
Imagine, walking in to a Gurdwara in the future where a robot is doing chaur sahib or taking vaak, scary!. With the overall decline in youth learning to read Punjabi, many generations will become further detached from Gurbani and unable to take vaak by themselves. I can imagine this being a cheaper option, after initial furore......let's hope these thoughts remaiin just that.

Oh, sorry for nominating you without asking, that goes for the other members I nominated too. The reason I nominated you was because there's some posts of yours that I liked that showed you have a calm approach towards some topics. That's the type of Mods, I felt the forum needs, those with knowledge of Sikhi and that won't take sides or start abusing others.
Calm, haha, if only you knew.
Criteria for an Admin should be someone with far more time on their hands than I, so quick to respond. Lets say no more than a 2 day SLA.
Ideally Amritdhari and one who keeps minimum rehat.
Cool headed, approachable, devoid of swearing at any given moment or without thought. (I'm guilty of this at least x2)
Good grasp of Gurbani and well read (Sikhi wise) - or at least knows how to use Google
Understands Politics and GOI/RSS tactics
Is aligned to the Panthic Maryada
Not biased towards one Jatha
The list can be endless, I hope the right candidate is found - someone maybe set up a poll, excluding me as a choice!

Thanks for the vote of confidence but without sounding egotisitcal have already turned down a previous offer as I'm no longer an active member here or any other forum for that matter, usually read the little I find interesting or comment where I feel strongly about something. My vote goes to @Jonny101
The reason is I like his posts the most. His understanding and knowledge is greater than mine and the vast majority of time I agree with his train of thought and well balanced Panthic soch.

Mayweather wins. He is now 50-0. Amazing.
Floyd cashes out: 'Money' Mayweather beats Conor McGregor by TKO in the tenth round - and insists $600MILLION 'fight of the century' will be his last as JLo, Leonardo DiCaprio and a host of stars look on ringside
- Floyd Mayweather has defeated Conor McGregor at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night
- The night won the 40-year-old his 50th undefeated match as Mayweather swore it was his last fight ever
- Mayweather left the arena with the coveted 'Money Belt' and at least $100million for his night's work
- The two super-welterweight fighters had been preparing for the big boxing match for months
- A host of celebrities also arrived, including Bruce Willis, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lopez
- The event brought out sports stars as well, including LeBron James, James Harden and boxer Mike Tyson
- Musical stars Chance the Rapper, Demi Lovato and Meek Mill all showed up for the fight of the century
- An audience packed with 20,000 ravenous fans turned up to the arena to watch the epic showdown
- The bout could surpass the $600m generated by Mayweather's fight with Manny Pacquiao in 2015
Gimmick fight, made the organisers and the fighters richer and temporary entertainment, so glad I did not pay to watch it. Fair do's to Mayweather for dragging it out until the 10th and keeping the McGregors izzat. The many thousands with commonsense stayed away from the arena due to the extortionate ticket costs.

* CROWDFUNDING PAGE TO SUPPORT JAGRAJ SINGH’S FAMILY *
On the 20th July 2017, our dearest brother and friend, Jagraj Singh, lost his fight against cancer. In the immediate aftermath, we celebrated his life, the wonderful legacy he established and heard some amazing stories of the positive effect he had on so many lives.
The family of Jagraj Singh, his friends, peers and colleagues at Everythings 13 have been humbled by the love and support of the Sangat and have found much strength in this.
Through love and compassion in the Sangat, many people have also asked about setting up fundraising pages, crowdfunding pages and generally asking how they can support the family of Jagraj Singh.
These requests have prompted a small group of Jagraj Singh and Sukhmani Kaur’s close friends to set up a public fundraising page to support Jagraj Singh’s family.
The aim of this fundraising page is to try and help Sukhmani Kaur pay off the family's mortgage and finance the children’s long- term education. We invite everyone who was inspired by Jagraj Singh to contribute, however small or large.
https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/jagrajsinghsfamily
(Please note, this is the only fundraising effort with the approval of Sukhmani Kaur. It has been organised by friends of Jagraj Singh and Sukhmani Kaur and is not connected to Everythings13 or any other affiliated organisation)

A friend shared this with me today. I see they have already held classes in East London (weekly ones to follow) and plan a camp in Coventry.

Way too much Tamo Gun being expressed on this site, no wonder why it only has a handful of hardcore posters now and the MODS are clearly super lax - good or bad depending on the age of visitors coming to learn about a Sikhi. How about STAMPING an 18+ sign or warning before logging in, just so they know what type of language might be used on the site. Possibly requires a separate post

You have different camps, some say Guru Sahib during their hunting excursions freed animals from the churasi. Others believe it was not only to hone skills and have the balls to deal with blood and death but as many historians write, consume game over open fires. Most carnivores will puke at the sight of gutting a carcass let alone veggies. Shooting from afar is one thing it cannot be compared to Jhatka at close quarter.
Regardless, meat issue is a waste of breath. Maryada perfectly tells us it is a 'non' issue, just don't touch halal.
