Depressing Trend - Need For Rules - Page 7

Some of you guys are bit harsh on some new members on this forum. ( I'm not talking about this thread). There's always a better way to express your views AND respect others. If you guys dont like it then ignore it. or if its aganist the rules, then tell them that "IF doesnt allow.." rather than " I'm tired of such topics or polls". There's always a better way to express anything bad.

Another thing, Whenever you are about to reply any post you will see " Note" to your right hand side which has IF rules. That's the summary of all important rules. Whenever you guys posts something ( which you might have second thoughts on),. just read it(&its not that long either).

Sorry Priya...I am unable to locate this 'Note' as I am typing this message here. Could you please give the link?

I have been away of this forum for a long time. I dunno the current situation but what Prabha Di said is absolutely right. It is the current generation who are involved in such callous remarks. But I, being of re current generation also, fail to understand why people would speak about such things. I would like to hammer the person who came up with this relationship crap on CID, it is not entirely the fault of these new members. Anyways, either they are pervs or have a lesser sense of right and wrong(no offense intended)

I agree with what prabha di said in pg 8,its not fair to say that some of us have been harsh to the new members,we have tried our best to tell them what is expected and also not to open such threads 4-5 times but still if they continue doing so then what can 'WE' do ??,I remember opening a thread on where to ask episode request,names etc. just 1 week back and on the second day of opening the thread it was on page 2 or 3 and polls like "Who should be the next ACP? " or "Taarika's marriage" etc were on page one,leave my thread even important threads like the "reruns " thread and episode discussion etc.were on page 2,c'mon we cannot sit with the net on the whole day and try and keep posting something just to bring those threads on page 1 right ??
I believe that when someone joins in he/she should atleast go through some threads before making new ones to understand which type of discussion takes place here,I remember doing that when I was new here.Even if we tell those people not to open such threads we've also seen some members who keep posting something or the other so as to bring such pages again on top,so what we in general are basically asking is that there should be something done that clearly tells that what is this forum about and what do we do here.

@Bhavana look yar as moderator talks about the rules we can't stop anyone from making threads..it does not matter how much you personally feel hurt by that..you have to be professional to keep your own value and belief on side to read anything against your own thinking....that;s what forum rules!! So i don't think anything can anyone do with this stuff...if those new members co operate with us then this problem can be solved..otherwise no way to do this until they use harsh or abusive language or personal attacks..if they do so collect the URL send to moderator by saying that I Want Result...that's what we can do..

New member greeted with harsh words its wrong but they should also understand they are not hurting anyone opening any new irrelevant thread. Here comes into play that rules. No point ignoring these threads. by ignoring intensity of these threads increases

@sunny exactly that's what even i mean,by ignoring these threads nothing will change balki the no. of such threads increases,kal se hum log iske baare mein baat kar rahe hai and see aaj kisi ne ek aur thread open kiya about some episode video request or something,I'v tried to warn that person through pm but lets see what happens but this is a situation that needs to be handled soon

Really sad to see that we are being told that we are harsh to newbies!!! May b at times someone might lose patience n all, but that never happens at th first go! Only if the member acts stubborn n keeps annoying some members personally, does some of us react harshly! But thats in the rarest of occassions! Still if the mod really feel that we r harsh, then fine we will just keep quiet! Stay away from advicing newcomers if that means being harsh!!

Okay, sorry I'm joining in so late. Wasnt well yesterday so couldnt come online.

Anyways, getting back to the topic. I agree this is a very valid topic as all of us really are frustrated with all the unecessary topics being created.

But, at the end of the day we cant forget that these are open forums. I have been using a number of forums for years now. I dont mean IF, but lots of other international forums as well. So, luckily although I joined IF recently, I know the basic conduct and mannerisms of participating in forums. But, world over this very same concept of open forums is being used and this is the most common problem everyone faces. Repititive threads, annoying posts, etc. But, a solution is yet to be found. We just cant stop new members from joining in and opening topics. And unless the new member is directly abusing the theme of the forums, or insulting someone directly, it cannot be termed as offensive. And there is no valid reason to take action against them.

However, after seeing this topic, I just checked out the forums of other, "Oh so high" TRP shows. Check this:

https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/yeh-rishta-kya-kehlata-hai/1115041/rules-guidlines-of-the-section-please-see

This forum has a strict set of rules and regulations, which I really liked. And when you check the topics in this forums, they are quite organized and there is not much repitition of topics.

On the other hand, check this:

https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/382

This forum, just like our CID forum, doesnt have any rules and regulations thread. And we can clearly see from the topics, how disorganized it is. There are umpteen number of threads made on the same topic.

So, I think the least we can do to control unecessary threads and nonsensical posts is have a rules and regulations thread.

And, I think when a new member signs-up, they should get a prompt taking them to the rules and regulations thread.

Hey guys/girls....
