The answer to this is that every institution has it's own set of rules and own pattern of working.It might not reflect the likes of many ,especially ones who go for all out freedom, but it is essential for the smooth functioning of the institution.
For example, some think it's all right to bash stars, as they are public figures. IF says, discuss them,but the discussion has to be positive tone of voice. No discussion which radiates negative energy in terms of words used, sarcasm, or destroys the decorum of the forum is encouraged. Not all can ever be curtailed,but best effort is put to weed out unnecessary criticism and harsh words. That's when members are pmed and told about it. EXAMPLE: Say,Now it might be funny for you to say that Amitabh Bachchan looks like a lifeless grey scarecrow hung on a hanger which would scare not only crows but everything else as well.........and then you post this along with half a dozen dead faces (🤢)........and to you and some of whom who dislike him may find this very funny,..........but to me, and scores of others,it's revolting, vilifying, harsh, disrespectful and unnecessary. And it radiates negative energy,and does not solve any purpose other than amuse a hnadful and upset all his fans...yet note that no where there is any use of abusive language and all that...so here, it's a ,matter of decorum and kind of environment IF works in.
Every school,every college,every office,every country,every party has rules that best fit that particular outfit and works best for the overall outfit. India Forums is the same. So sometimes,the rules may look too harsh or strict,but they are made because IF works on certain pattern and decorum,which is found in every section, and makes it more inviting,may be to not all,but 90% of them.
