Rules of the AT:
a. Chatting in ATs: Please reduce the personal chatting because we do have a chat club for that purpose. However, we do allow minimum chatting in ATs, provided it is related to this AT alone. Non-essential chatting or spamming comments in the hopes to increase pages or just for general chatting that are in no way related to the show can get deleted or individual members can get a warning.
ATs are open for everyone, however, do not invade the AT with the purpose to rile up the fans or instigate them. If any member fails to follow the rules, please report the posts rather than jumping in to moral police or joining them to aggravate the issue further. Acting responsibly will prevent any action being taken against you.
We can assure you guys that we only take action where there is legit reason. However, here is a little catch for the stalkers who just want to report in order to get the AT closed down - If you report any post/comments that has no legit reason, you will be responsible for action against you for stalking.
ATs/discussions threads CANNOT be used to target other members and NO pinpointing activity/mocking or taking digs at other fan groups. Any derogatory references or name calling against actors /characters/members/Dev team members are strictly PROHIBITED here.
b. Penalties: If the DT sees more than 3 people breaking the AT rules constantly twice in a row for a week, the effects of violations will kick start, which go as follows:
First Violation - Warning Note
Second - Another Warning Note
Third - Another Warning Note
Fourth- Close the AT for 24 hrs (1 Day)
Fifth - Close AT for 72 hrs (3 Days)
Sixth - Close AT for 1 week (7 Days)
Seventh - Move AT from the Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin Forum to Celebrity Fan Club Forum.
These rules are applicable for multiple violations and not a single post as it will be dealt individually. Having said that, please do not assume that every report submitted by an opposing fan group will be entertained. We will go through the reports and only if we find the report valid based on the above rules, we will speak to the Admins of the AT and action will be taken accordingly as stated above.
India-forums.com Code of Conduct strictly forbids members from bashing fellow members, DT members and celebrities. This includes the use of foul language, as well as any derogatory personal remarks.
Bashing Development Team Members is strictly against IF Rules. Warning Levels will be raised for members found bashing the Development Team.
No personal attacks on members or celebrities including direct / indirect/ abusive / sarcastic/ condescending/ passive-aggressive remarks from within the forum or external sources shall be tolerated. WLs can be raised without Warning.
You are not allowed to label or name-call any celebrity/ IF user/ DT member or character on the show. Refer to the characters by the names they are given on the show. Do not make up code-names or nicknames for anyone or a fan group, unless it is a nickname that is already being used in the show. Regardless of whether the term being used is as a form of entertainment or abuse, it will not be allowed. The use of nicknames/fun names is very much subjective and what one member considered a name to be fair use may not be taken in the same manner by others.
Actors on the show cannot be compared to any animal or any other thing which may be considered offensive. Refrain from posting fake/morphed images/videos intended to defame/ ridicule /abuse any contestant &/member. This includes posting animal images with the intent to be sarcastic and bash any member/celebrity.
Members are not allowed to discuss other forum's issues in the GHKKPM forum.
No old topics are to be brought to the first page, with an intention to rile up, mock, instigate members for their opinions in the past episodes. Members do change their opinions about the same characters during the course of the show and there is absolutely no reason to shame them for it.
Comparison of Past Shows/Other Versions/ Actors
No comparisons of other versions of Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin aired on television/movie will be allowed anywhere on the forum. This also means comparing actors of previous shows with current ones and the way a track was presented in the other version cannot be discussed.
No discussion on past shows that the actors of this show have been in is allowed.
No discussion will be allowed on celebrities who are not part of Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin Please do not make comparison posts with actors who have played the same characters before in either a TV show or web show or movie.
Counter-Posting
Refrain from making counter posts on the forum. For example, if you see a post which you feel you do not agree with and believe to be insulting/provoking or abusive, DO NOT then go and create another topic in relation to it to counteract the post maker. This only leads to further unrest and more arguments breaking out in the forum. Even if another fan-group/ member started it, do not retaliate, just bring it to the attention of the DT. If you come across any posts which you believe are not in accordance with the IF COC or this forum's guidelines, please REPORT them.

Apart from these all IF - CoC rules apply. Please keep this space an inclusive one.
