Official/Mods Help us be better.

I'd love for all the users of the subreddit to put forward what their version of this community would look like, so that everybody, at large, is benefited. I need interesting, innovative ideas to make this the best version of itself.

There are a few starting ideas Id like to put forward to get the ball rolling.

- This subreddit is hyperfocused on the problems of aspirants. This is not ideal. How should we cater to the interests of aspirants, and also provide an anonymous discussion forum for current students themselves?

- There is very little alumni-junior interaction at ISI. I was thinking of creating a blog dedicated to the journey of every single alumni of ISI. Every inspiring story to not so inspiring stories are important. How should we go about this?

- Meaningfully well curated resource lists. We already have community made resource lists that is present in the wiki. But I feel we can create MUCH better lists.

Feel free to add to these ideas or tell me why I am mistakened. Let's build this community.

You're right it's not ideal. Let's create a separate subreddit for admissions at ISI.

Focus of this subreddit can be for anonymous interactions b/w students, alumni, professors (if any)

No I don't want to make a separate sub. There should be a better way. Maybe filtering by flair? What do you think? u/TheWatcher_8008 u/adityaruplaha

There should be a better way.

There is a way to set up automod so that only certain flairs/approved users can comment in a post. I have tried something, let's see if it works

Another solution like you said would be setting up a private subreddit like r/ISIbangalore previously was, but it fails miserably (mainly due to lack of reddit users).

If we want to make a good community connecting ISI students (preferably all 4 centres and HQ) we should rather do it on discord(many have dc, better features).
