In connection with the needs of the new moderators in the Indian forum, I also support this thread topic, as a means for members especially in India, whether on forums, ICOs, etc., in general or moderators in particular (new moderators, I hope you don't mind advice from thmember, for the good of the india forum for the sake of togetherness too). Because remember, members who submit criticism are answered for suggestions to be made in place to avoid spamming, fraud, scammers, etc.
I think to be able to make the Indian forum a free forum, to express opinions as long as the topics discussed are still related to the main topic of the Indian forum.
For that Moderator, in the most basic and simple sense is a person who is given the mandate to regulate the course of the forum. It is indeed difficult, at least, the mod can represent three interests: the interests of the organizing committee, understanding of the participants, and the interests of the speaker,
I regret:
For now there are still frequent misunderstandings, the moderator is considered the second caste in a forum, under the speaker. This is a wrong understanding.
The truth is:
Mod responsibilities, functions, and moderator duties are very important, so the degree is the same as the speaker, sometimes even higher, I also hope there is a solution for the Indian forum section.

Create a new topic for it. This topic is for getting Moderator. I do not think any global moderator will look inside this topic to reply to you.
Sorry to wake up this Zombie. India subforum now needs a dedicated mod more than ever. Not only the sub is getting full of unrelated topics, legitimate topics are being removed!
Here is an instance, where I have been a victim. Following is from BitcoinTalk Modlog (http://archive.vn/QKmpX)...

This can only be solved by the Admin appointed moderator but Benson is long time not active and as everyone knows that he is involved in Coinsecure exchange so i think he wont be back to his job as right now cryptocurrency is in the legal battle and till their is no result i think nothing will be solved.
Benson Samuel is no more the moderator of the Indian Board. (after Coinsecure scam/(or hack) not very sure). So right now Indian Board is without moderator. Few days back I look statistics of merits in Indian local board, look like they do not have merit source also.
I think both factors should be demotivating for anybody posting there.
But you can see that almost all signature campaigns or bounty campaigns dont entertain local post in their campaigns. That is why not most of them are really interested in posting in their respective local boards. Even Local boards are mainly used for translation purpose only if i am not wrong.

I don't think theymos is putting much priority on those. However, I think Indian subforum needs an active moderator.
It can be the OP himself or legendster. legendster is an active one. He can be good candidate.

This^ + Pinned threads on the main board are pretty old and outdated. Most of the services referred in those threads do not exist anymore. But, as we do not have an admin, there is no one to unpin those threads.

Personally I think Bitcointalk is not what it used to be anymore. There are some active members but almost everyone is into signature campaigns which leads to spam posts etc.
However I agree that mod should be active enough to remove spam/trash from this subforum.

There are a lot of problems with Indian sub forum and the problem you highlighted is the major. I also see a lot of senior members making posts there which are not relevant to that section.
For instance consider this:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/what-is-merit-and-how-will-it-help-you-get-promoted-2945634
It is a good post but it should have been posted in meta in my opinion.

This site, Stake.com, is spamming in all local sections. They create a post and daily post spam on that post or create a new one. When there are no active moderators, nobody can do anything.
It is necessary to pay more attention to these local sections if we want the forum to grow in an organized way. Have more trusted moderators, have more sources of merit, have more subsections.

I visited the India forum once but never posted there because:
1) It is full of scams. There are a number of promotional posts there from different members. Some are promoting their shady exchanges and some want to teach tricks through their blogs full of copied content.
2) I also observed that very less posts are merited there. There are few good posts there and they get no attention. This might be the reason for genuine users not being much active there and posting in other sections like "Bitcoin Discussion".

Looks like nothing has changed in last 14 days. Current state of the board - http://archive.is/Xv8va.
Alt coin & ICO discussions are still rampant on the main board.
1. Any other reliable exchange for Ethereum
2. We translated the site in Hindi, is it important or do we waste money?
3. Any Real ICO in India?
4. New coin - JIOCOIN
5. Telegram TON Gram ICO!
6. 🚀🚀🇨🇭🇨🇭ADENIUM.IO🇨🇭🇨🇭🚀🚀NEW LENDING PLATFORN🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
7. What is Ethereum?
8. The translator is needed!
9. Jio coin in India
10. Which is best- Bitcoin, Ripple or Ethereum?

100% agreed. Benson was a pretty active mod a few years back. But, now, most probably due to his involvement with CoinSecure, he barely works on the India forum. User newIndia himself/herself is far more active in the India forum and hence, I believe, he/she should take up the responsibility now.
True, there is so much spam in Indian sub forum these days, even many post in wrong section or just spam to increase their ranks.
P.S. If Theymos think, I am eligible, I can give sometime to moderate Indian sub forum.

Yes exactly. The change is needed for sure. Even the market place is filled with discussions or people promoting their referral links to earn pennies. Discussions are filled with lame questions which are not even worth answering. Benson is one of the pioneers of the Indian Bitcoin community and there is no denying it. But he has not been that active here lately (looking at his posts) maybe because of his personal life and busy schedule (as he runs one of the major Indian exchanges).
I am pretty confident there are a lot of active legendary members here form India who would volunteer to be a mod along side Benson to clean up the mess.

A few of the big local boards probably need an additional moderator. It's a lot of work just for one person and it can become overwhelming pretty quickly and Benson Samuel doesn't really seem to be active much at all so I can see why there'd be issues. When users realise they can get away with spam they quickly abuse it with bots and spam etc like we're seeing in the Chinese section.
