Dear Sam,
Your comment "Everything is fine but I think the tone could be more polite as a GLOBAL MODERATOR. Anyways thanks for the info. 😃" and then you see an immediate response from Minnie apologising for what you felt. Tell me how many people have come back and felt sorry. Just because we are mods or GM's we have to know to be polite and you are absolutely RIGHT on that. But we are humans first and we too are members of IF. Just like rest of them, we love to come here because of the environment of this forum.

I apologise if my tone semed rude. It was not intentional. I stated the facts. I won't disagree that I felt extremely bad when I saw accusations being thrown at people who are working so hard day in and day out to keep this forum in the shape it is, that too at their own expense ( like Vijay) or free of cost ( like all the mods, viewbies and coolbies ). Hence it might have come out harsher than I meant. If so, then I am sorry for that.
I am glad if you found my info useful.
We are always there if any of you need to know anything.
Thanks Anitha and Manasi for the vote 😳,
Minnie.
And when I said, this forum has so many posts everyday and so many that are offensive, rude with degratory remarks I was true on that and I said, people find Minnie's post rude and I still say what I wrote their is right.
Tell me one thing, people posted about arpita comparing her to bar girl...not many raised the issue. How can we even think of comparing one decent lady who is trying hard to win. We really don't know the facts, we don't know what pressure they have been through. They are struggling upcomers and they are trying their best to give a performance. We have the right to comment and right to like or dislike, but don't we have some courteous way to express that.

OMG, I was glad to be back and see this as a "raging" hot topic. Thanks to IF moderators for taking this seriously and responding fast. Also am happy that this page has not disappeared 😆
But I am sorry to say that the moderators have exhibited for the want of a better word, "naivette" and "rudeness" in their responses.
As moderators they are supposed to be cool headed. So why are their responses in ANGRY RED TEXT.
I take particular offense to the quote above. Hello Anitha, could you please send me the link to a "PAID DISCUSSION FORUM" on the internet???? I am sorry to say but your above remark shows either total IGNORANCE or INNOCENCE of how a discussion forum works, it's importance and meaning.
And sorry, but I don't even want to start giving you a lesson. You need to educate yourself.

Thanks Dido, that was very cool headed reply. Regarding paid forums. At IF we will start one? Do you want to be the first member?
Neither am I Ignorant nor Innocent. If I was Innocent, I would have agreed to all you members and thought this is the way the world goes, using rude remarks (I am not mentioning you, their are many more posts like that and I request you to see them) and stayed out. Nor am I Ignorant, if I was I would have not cared to reply to any of the posts and stayed away from any response or any mod functioning. I would have just come to the forum like all you guys, posted comments and logged out. Well what is my gain here right?
What kind of education are you talking about? Well what I learnt is not just literature or science, I also learnt morals and how to be with people and expect back the same. I think you should know who has to learn. I don't have to explain you that. You seem to be a smart person and very educated.

So please do not insult the FG forum members. Or just close this FG forum if it is such a pain for the moderators and IF website. Seriously.

This forum was opened because of many members request..not one or two. We are not here to insult anyone nor do we like getting insulted and we don't feel any shame to say sorry if anyone is hurt. But at the same time, we expect the same back for anyone (Members/Viewbies/Mods/GM's/Admin's)
We also have many members from this forum who are happy about its functioning. We don't get PM's just with complains, we also get compliments. If you feel it is a pain, it is your view and I cannot comment on that.

And I suppose u think u are being very polite & 'educated'?????
What u ppl don't realize is the hard work that goes in managing IF. If we were biased, we would have been thrown out long back...but members still trust us enough to come to us with thier probs. Anyway, I don't watch FG nor do i visit the section but I could bear to see bholi tackling all this alone & definately could't stand what u ppl wrote against minnie di & smisha di | |
Is that rude Manasi??? I don't think so. That's sound advise!!!
I suggest you read entire postings by the moderators. A posting by today by Minnie is again in ANGRY RED TEXT. Sorry this is not done.
I thought I will not return to comment on this posting.
We appreciate the hard work. But definitely in all the moderators postings they think they are all doing a BIG MEHERBAANI to all of us and we must pay obeisance to them.
I have very rarely seen offensive language in this forum. People try to be sensational and controversial to get attention to their postings but seldom get down and dirty.

Once again Thanks for your advise. We will take any postive good advices. But people who like to give advice should also be open to take when they get. Minnie's text in red and bold was only to get attention from everyone.
Also, when any moderator or GM or admin posts a warning they usually post in RED and it could be a for a member or for the group. The announcements are also choosen with some colors at times.
We have listed rules and how many follow. Forget reading about the rules, Lakshmi has posted long back a warning to members, how many read. Minnie was trying to get people to understand the rules and it is very important. Even we moderators, GM's, Admin's, viewbie's, coolbies have to follow rules. That is because we want to create an atomosphere here for everyone to come and enjoy and it could be from any age group.
I am surprised that you have not seen any posts that are down and dirty. I can provide you the links for your reference, if you want to read them.
The only person who is doing a favor here are the coolbies, who take their time and post updates for all of us. It is because of their dedication and hard work we all have registered here. No one is doing any favor to anyone else. Ofcourse Vijay, because currently he is only paying and not gaining anything. Who knows, if he would gain tomorrow...who has seen that?
Finally, I would like apologize to people who felt I was rude.
