another thing u mentioned breaking rules by creatin another id

oh i can think of worse thing in virtual to break rules here

main things bashing celebs n other members

taking ur stance mids being wrong

are u justifying ppl bashing celebs and other members



I'm not sure why you're getting defensive here, I'm not accusing you of a MID. 😕 Debates involve disagreements, that is why they are debates. We're all here to disagree for the most part, that is what DM is for.

I don't think any reason behind creating a MID is a good one. If you want to get "banned", then all you do is ask a mod to "ban" your deactivate your account!

Creating a new ID after you've been banned and accepting that you have reincarnated is a totally different thing because you are not hiding your real identity. When people use MIDs, they hide their true identity.

I never said that it was the only wrong thing you can do on a public forum. Of course you can do other things, but that doesn't mean that it makes it any more moral to create MIDs.

Murder is wrong, a great sin and very immoral, but just because murder is a greater sin, does not make it okay for one to commit robbery, now does it? Extreme example here, but see where I'm coming from!?!

lol since this DM after all, let's try takin the other side here. take only in that spirit :)

for starters, this is getting to be such a comedy show it aint believeable lol. i mean peeps, for heaven's sake, we're interactin with electrons/ words. lol do i really give a big eff abt anythin other than the trash most ppl write (with occasional brilliance thrown in when they're in some rare paranormal trance even for them lol)? seriously, u do know it's mostly trash dont u? lol

ok maybe u got a point. if u're the type of chick/ guy that's wantin to fool arnd behind a real life hubby/ bf/ wifey/ gf's back. i can see then u're here not for the intellectual enytertainment of dealin with electrons, but to make rishtas lol. then i can see why one'd be so hung up on who exactly they're interactin with. it's not words, it's not debates u're here for then. u're really tryin to find out who someone on their MOTW will be pairin u up with... adult version of swaps. lol

now talk of deceitful liars, in the scheme of things, there's a wonderful hierarchy ( i learned that somewheres here, great place this lol). see if we're talking big moral things like deceit n liars, in my playbook lol, i'd classify men/ women who cheat in real life as the real cheats. but maybe that's just me. lol. not that it bother me. if they're cool with it... i mean the world is full of sinners lol

as for pay-to-post forums, now aint that funny too. first off, those forums put their mods thru training, not pick em off coz they got lots of loser time lol (not sayin anyone here does, remember this is all hypothetical lol). they also have members that can afford to pay. but what do u do when u claim the audience is 13 somethins. u think paps will pay for girl chattin about lesbos n carryin on love fests all nite long? lol

i think ppl who accuse others of MIDs shld (1) first understand the meaning of MID (which aint single IDs at any time) (2) get kicked out if they cant pove their allegations. burden of proof shld be on accuser, not accused. doin it the other way reeks stuff herr goebbels excelled at. lol. hey, in order to inject some excitement, we might even wanna have a public Court of Inquiry (like in the army), both accuser n accused goin at it. but transparent. not the funny games ppl play after they team up to kick someone off n spread stories...

btw, i been abused by MIds like u wldnt believe lol (someone dint exactly like my puttin down UP- u remember the brilliant exchange we had abt UP goons, UP dowry deaths etc? come to say, why is UP so effed up? lol). i got those pms stashed, they were that colorful. lol). i reported that once to see how the process works ie. if it works for me (it so obviously did for someone when they were reportin me for inadvertently cutting someone's quote out of context- that was such an honest mistake that i even got ur goodie-goodie members rolling their eyes in disbelief, that's how farcical it all was lol). but the abuse dint bother me. see i know we can kick even big ass if it come to rl, n that's where we derive real value, not some vl. never even cared to report other times. guy/ girl doin it was obviously flipped out. it gave me a feelin of virtual satisfaction knowin ppl cldnt deal with me thru logic lol. seemed to me they were carrying their previously innuendo-carryin nazi ways to abuse. that told me somethin lol

but yeah, if u're trying to figure ppl out, here's what might help-- the contradiction between what ppl write n how they write it. for eg, let's say we're talkin hypothetically abt whining, ppl will claim they dont whine. when anyone with half a brain can see they just got done whining. now those kind of footprints r dead give aways.lol

on flip side, only legit reason to go after MIDs are if they post stuff that breaks decorum. but it dont bother me othrwise. someone can make a 100 MIDs n come after us, dont bother one. 100 MID ways of puttin out trash dont make the trash any refined. it's like 100 idiots come together dont come up with quantum theory all of a sudden. they're still all soundin like idiots. allz well i hope? lol

btw,someone wanna know abt us just need to check the IP address i was posting fm yesterday. that's home sweet home, far as anyone can come out with. we dont have to go playing cloak n daggers lol.

SomethingAwful the worlds largest forum is pay to post. MMORPG are all paid services and get high traffic.

Either way you are right, it can be a double edged sword. I doubt IF will ever take that route, because the base user group is not the kind who wants that kind of decorum and discipline. Banning on suspicion or baseless suspicion of MID is very rare to non existent on pay to post forums due to the 'cost' of exercising such privileges.


I think it's the age and profile of the users that will make it difficult for IF to become successful if it ever decides to charge it's members.
A major section of the users here are in their teens or early twenties and are students not having an independent source of income. Although students do use their parent's credit card for shopping and such activities, but usually they prefer things that are relatively cheaper. When there is no dearth of free forums all over the internet, why should they pay for India-Forums? What's so special over here?
And even if they do pay, their parents will be the one who will have to settle the bill. If they see that the payment was to use some website, they'll become concerned and will get suspicious. Most teenagers will feel that it's not worth all the hassle.

Btw, what I wrote above are just my assumptions. As for me, I won't pay for virtual services. It's not as if I'll gain something in return. And if not paying means that I'll have to tolerate a few nonsensical threads made my people like gulshan gobar, then so be it. What's the biggest loss that I can face? A few seconds of my life that I'll be spending to open and go through his post? Big deal.
Consider this, what is more harmful for the environment of a forum, MIDs or obnoxious/ irritating members. For me it's the second one and it doesn't matter whether they come as MID or single ID. Just throw them out.

As for whistle blowing that people were talking about. Since, IF's rule say creating multiple IDs is not allowed, it's perfectly fine for people to not tolerate MIDs. It's also fine if people suspect that an user ID belongs to an already existing member and points it out to a DT member over the PM. But let's treat it as a suspicion only. It's not okay for a member to directly or indirectly accuse another member of having MIDs in the open forum or start circulating PMs among their friends and followers about that. Why not inform the Moderator and leave it at that? The Mod can check the IP, if need be a CM or GM can check the location and if it's confirmed then the ID will be banned. It's as simple as that.
Btw, I don't count a banned member coming back with a new ID as a MID. I think if the forum has a problem with such members coming back, then let them block their IP.

well the MID fever is nothing new, its fun and usefull in passing time....that is, if you dont use it to bash others or have created it to state an opinion of yours that you are ashamed of loll.....if its any of these two then its despicable.
i have an MID, and its fun sometimes taking old friends for a ride with it. I never use it too frequently...only on 6 or 7 occassions as far as i remember.
i never used it to bash or trash anyone though....i could have, but then i'd be one of those life-less folks who come here only to bash and talk trash, that too with their real IDs.😛😆😆

🤣we miss that one in middy's MOTW

hmm that would be a nice idea just hope through the process it does not end up many more ppl accusing one another 😆 but yea if like people sometimes think nothing's being done, they can have a taste of being the judge 😉 go through the whole process of dealing with MIDs and have a taste of how tough a job that is 😃 besides, accused and accuser both will have free say on their views good one there 👏👍🏼

on flip side, only legit reason to go after MIDs are if they post stuff that breaks decorum. but it dont bother me othrwise. someone can make a 100 MIDs n come after us, dont bother one. 100 MID ways of puttin out trash dont make the trash any refined. it's like 100 idiots come together dont come up with quantum theory all of a sudden. they're still all soundin like idiots. allz well i hope? lol

well said 👏 and that's what is happening recently lol
