@GG: Ppl stalk CCs for varied reasons.....some out of boredom, some cuz they are too shy/hesitant to actually post, and then there is the category that is being specifically referred to in this post.....the 'vengeful' kind who are out to 'punish' ppl who 'hurted' their feelings by saying that they didn't like their fav. character/actor....also known as their 'dear' ones🤔😆

So to answer Gagan's question....it is not about GIVING ppl a reason....ppl FIND reasons themselves....atleast that is how it seems to me.....say there are a 1000 ppl who read a post where someone said that they didn't like a scene/character's behavior in a post....why is it that out of 1000 ppl, only 2-3 will take it upon themselves to stalk the person who made that post and then proceed to go on a reporting spree after finding what they deem 'evidence' in their twisted minds??😕😕😆

I know the difference b/w a silent reader and a stalker.....I was a silent reader on IF for nearly two years before I started posting.....so I can understand why some ppl are hesitant to post and would rather just read the posts....but what I DON'T get is the crowd that likes to indulge in petty games like going around and stalking CCs or members just in order to 'punish' them. It really HAS to be 'lowe' only then I guess😕😆

You don't like a person or their way of expressing their views.....fine....but WHY would you proceed to make it your life's mission to STALK that person so dilligently??😕😆......Why not just IGNORE??? Is that really so difficult?? To try and find a life BEYOND stalking???



Very well said, Anu!! :-)

Wouldnt that be great if something happens to the I-F system and NONE of the Mods can access, to their highly complicated accounts.

There have been many great posts here, actually. I just wish some action was being taken though. It seems like a legitimate complaint is being ignored. When I tried to voice my concern about this issue, I was shamed into silence, as if the issue was non-existent, and that our CC was at fault for attracting people to stalk. But how is it our fault; no one is asking for it? The CC is Invite Only, and it is thus more personal, so it feels quite awkward when someone is just peering over, waiting to report you for daring to have a contrary opinion. Somehow, I feel extreme fandom is leading the My Post button to be abused, and thus this is the situation we are now in.
Anu is right about the difference of a silent reader and a stalker/tourist. For example, I never used to come to the CC section, but I started out in other sections and gradually I got the courage to post and started getting to know different members. 13,000 hits, wow, I am shocked, but then I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Is it lowe or some people's vindictive idea to get revenge somehow? That they cannot let something go, and feel that they have to somehow get the member in trouble. This overmonitoring is too much, and I wish people could be more useful spending their time doing more worthwhile activities, whether it is starting their own CC or making a good topic or refuting someone in a positive way. In this post, I am not trying to be hurtful, but I am disappointed in the way matters are being handled and how certain issues are just being ignored. While others are free to try to intimidate other people from not being able to comment on I-F freely.

very needed post

i knew that ppl r stalking our CC's... got tired of them but i never knew that they r abusing like button there🤣

if they really wanna stalk...they better do it in silence.. do they wanna tell us that they r stalking or wat.. is it any warning they r giving us by hitting the like tab... they better know that we r going 2 care

cmng 2 the topic that y ppl need 2 stalk... it's a mystery for me.. keeping aside that y they wanna stalk, i wonder how they get so much of time 2 stalk
lucky ppl they so free that they can even poke their nose into other CC's , unlike us weher we r unable 2 go to our CC's

again cmng back 2 question y... it is still a mystery
arey we do things 2 stay happy n have some relaxation n relief frm our personal lives... so incase ppl wanna stalk some CC .. cant they stalk a CC which amuses them or in favour of them... y stalk over things which they dont like n increase their stress

i have tried my level best 2 b onside of stalkers n speak but couldn't help... stalkers i'm giving ideas where 2 stalk dears...

People generally stalk for a few reasons:

A) I guess some people stalk to bolster their self-esteem by intimidating others. Pretending to be part of a 'CSI' mission to fullfill their vindictive agenda gives them some feelings of power or uniqueness in a world where they generally feel powerless or unimportant. 😛 They do it to get the attention they are generally lacking from others.
B) People like to stalk others for revenge, because they believe they were "wronged" in some way (mostly for bashing their psuedo idols-- actors or characters on a show) and they cannot "grow up" and move on with their lives.

C) Sometimes, members stalk others because they like reading a certain members posts. I call this 'genuine stalking', and I admit to engage in it. Although I'm not sure if I would really label this as stalking, as I'm sure everyone in this particular CC is aware, but from time to time, I do read the Not So Obsessed MJHT fans CC and the IBL CC, partially because I have a few friends that are part of those CC's, but mainly because I'm in awe at the discussions that transpire there, and I'm a huge fan of their 'AWESOMESAUCE' posts. 😉

Either way, I think stalking is the sincerest form of flattery. The fact that we're blamed for 'attracting the attention' is a compliment of a sort. We must be doing SOMETHING truly great and inspiring to attract others. Perhaps we have something that others don't? 😉

Anyways, I don't think there is going to be a solution to this, honestly, especially since most of our mods are so busy fighting other vital and life threatening issues-- such as 'Thank you posts'.

Anywho, I really doubt any action can be taken against the stalkers. 🤔 So to the stalkers: Have fun stalking, wishing you were us and if you get a chance, get some fresh air.
