@ TM...Well, I agreed with you thoughts but disagree with you wordings..to me this is unparlimentary. Our freedom ends where others nose start. If moderats do not close the topics, it will be a disastrous on the forum but I agree that they sometimes change their boundries which are not uncommon..but I love/like them😉 because they all have beautiful pictures and I do not have any other option to stay in forum.

Hehe u r welcome. It was nice of u to justify the usage of ur words though my statements didn't affect u at all. 😳 I wasn't just talking about the word 'loser' u mentioned( though it was directed to a real person). I was talking about the whole set of words used on the actress like like ugly etc over and over . I can't remember those words now and i don't even want to try and remember them. Let mods think about it and take action. I thank them for being active when needed though i was myself disappointed with their judgement at times and for closing good threads just to prevent wars.

I thank u for bringing in the "new id's" point in ur topic. There has to be a solution to this! 🤓

dear im fully against usage of words like ugly. but criticism should be allowed. thats all i want.

If u don't support the over use of such words, then i have nothing against your 'freedom of speech'. Yes criticism should be allowed and all the while i was thinking that it is allowed while the usage of abusive language is controlled(imo). You may have ur fight with the mods since u think they r restricting your constructive criticism. I'm outta here.😎

I didn't see any problem in the language of this thread and or TM talk about toral's looks... So why that much chaos and negative comments???🤪
Why we can't digest criticism or protest when people are deliberately instigate us and mods supports them...????

Toral do look old for the character Anandi and this is a fact. Looks of all actors do not suit every character. BV shld hav taken an actress who would continue the looks of Pratyusha to some extent, When we see Toral we are not able to connect the achievements, sufferrings & agony which Prtats as Anandi had & went thru earlier. Like somebody in the forum mentioned earlier that Prats did the hard work of shaping the character anandi & Toral is enjoying the icing on the cake. While watching Sid & prats we had imagined thieir aftyer marriage & honeymoon scenes. But with Toral all that hav dashed.I really regret that we had wasted yrs in watching BV. Anyway I hav stopped watching but get to know what is happenning by reading the updates every alternate day.

@TM You've raised valid points in your main post and also clarified your stance regarding the use of derogatory language in criticism. This plus the fact that you've written your points in a fairly reasonable manner considering the content is the only reason I am contributing to this discussion thread.

First of all, yes, freedom of speech and expression is guaranteed by many constitutions around the world. I for one am a very strong believer in being having the freedom to communicate my thoughts and feelings without being policed by others. That freedom however does not extend to using abusive, derogatory and discriminatory language to do so regardless of who or what is being discussed.

Freedom of speech exists within a particular framework both in society and online to ensure there is no abuse of said freedom which will result in conflict or damage to individuals or institutions. With regards to the online world, people can create and post whatever they want but by becoming a member of IF a person has to agree to the forum's terms of conditions which include a requirement to follow the rules as laid out by the overall forum and the smaller forums/channels. The rules are quite clear about content is deemed appropriate and inappropriate.

Criticism is a good and necessary thing. It is however a subjective thing and the moderators are being required to make calls on content which is questionable. I have seen constructive threads being opened where members have criticized in language which does not break any rules. The problem is that these threads are then hijacked by other members who introduce inappropriate content thus leading to the thread being closed. Many times moderators have stuck notes on threads but members have still continued posting inappropriately. Other times the threads have progressed so far and so many rules have been broken that the moderators have had no choice but to close it. That's what a moderator is supposed to do...attempt to moderate the discussion going on and ensure rules are being followed...otherwise the thread is closed.

Members are able to provide constructive criticism on whatever matter they want. It is not the moderators who have a problem with it. It is other members who are not satisfied with the type of criticism being given and take it upon themselves to share their dissatisfaction in an inappropriate manner. That's when the moderators get involved.

Please note I am not defending the moderator's decision-making process because I'm not a moderator and thus don't exactly how they determine what to do and when. I am simply attempting to provide another point of view as to why things are the way they are.

Now while I have no problem with you posting your issues with the moderators in the forum, based on previous such posts the moderators will simply ask you to PM your concerns to them.
