In defense of the Moderators - Page 3

I don't understand why this issue has been brought up again though, we all accepted the rules and made our own blogs/posted stuff on a different website like some Mods had suggested and were happily carrying on with I-F so why now?

All this is going to do is instigate more hatred and spring up more pointless arguments that are going to end the same way. Just saying.

You know, till you spoke of forum rules, and content relating to that, I was actually quite OK with your thread, and just pointed out that violence is also not suitable for children. Although as a writer myself, I would never think of asking you or anyone else to tone it down, or not write what you wish to, since I feel that IF does its duty towards protecting children at registration, when they clearly state that a member must be 16 years and older. However, it becomes difficult to then defend the mods who hold up rules, when they themselves insist that there are 9 year olds on the forum, which in essence is breaking of rule number 1.

I actually quite enjoyed your story, and would be disgusted if anyone reported it, and it resulted in getting shut down. I think that's how it works here, MODs see a reported post and act accordingly, they do not read all OS/FF/SS in their entirety on the forum, which is one of the reasons for the uproar on IF these days.

And, that's where you and I differ I guess, because you did not stop with "against the rules" in this thread, but instead took the opportunity of responding and using it to point fingers at writers about WHAT they write, not just HOW they write it, and stay within forum rules. You actually disapprove of such content yourself, and using forum rules as a shield for that is, well, not very nice.

I don't want to get into the whole freedom of expression thing we have discussed over ane over and most of us prefer to take it elsewhere, but one point you made really made me wonder about the pretty woman esque ff. When we go to write an Ff we take inspiration from the characters and after that its up to us to write out the story however we wish it. Some pepople decide to write sweet love stries some decide to write in more turbulent ways its entirely up to us.
I can respect guidelines and i have rewritten to abide by them but this re of having to protect kids on this forum and write keepingvtheir sensibilities in mind is ridiculous. A kid sho is curious will not be digging through fan fiction on this site! I tuonk this fact has been articulated by many, my issue with the dictation of asking to keep in mind all tge children before we write something.

There are enough readers who can diferentiate between disgusting and intense and who are not ashamed to accept that as adults adult emotions and expressions.
Fan fiction is by definition left up to thd creator of it and if kushi gets r*aped( i am writing with this spelling coz seems we should not evev say it) murdered beaten its part of that story!
Is this forum for adults to express or protect the innocence of children?

That's my whole point.

How many kids want to know about c*ndoms and 'round two?' as the Arnav character said to the character of Khushi in one of the FFs I read.

How many cartoons feature that kinda language?

Yuck, dude.

What you stated, is your opinion.

Makes no sense to me.

If kids are playing violent video games, KF's writing is freakin' tame compared to that. Gotta give her that, if one is going to be fair here.

Hey, the Mods said writers should follow their guidelines.

So, do that.

If they kick someone out because their guidelines are not followed, they have the final word.

This is no place for s*ft po*n.

Hope that stuff is not being defended.

Says a lot about the defender, ya know, bro?

BTW, Indian movies are more violent than what I've read of KF's writing.

But the p*rn stuff has gotta go...or get a blog and smut yourself away! No one's gonna stop ya!

A nod to the Mods...

Can't follow the rules? The kitchen door ain't that far away, is what I'd say to the smutty writers...the would-be Barbara Cartlands...

BELOW 16

Then why are the Moderators stating that there are members who are aged nine here on IF! Shouldn't they be closing those accounts then? Or asking for an ID check of some sort or SOMETHING?

I've just got one question to ask.. India-Forums' Terms of Use state the following:

Ask them, not me. If you bothered to quote/paste the rules your question should be directed to the moderators not me.

Actually, there is no comparison between KF's writing and the soft p*rn that is being offered up as good writing by others.

KF's stories are full of high drama and yes, female empowerment. I've been in this trade for decades and can spot good work anywhere.

I honestly did not expect to see this kind of soft p*rn on this site.

It kinda put me off.

I'm surprised at how tripped out people are getting by attacking KF.

Got a problem? Tell the Mods. KF is expressing her opinion and she does not peddle in smut. (Sorry but that's what it is.)

Those who write smut, need to get a blog and take their 'material' elsewhere.

I support the Mods. And I support KF.

Attacking KF doesn't mean a thing, if your pals write soft p*orn, it reflects on you.

Get a blog, guys. Smut is smut, no matter how you clothe it.

And those asking KF to chill, how about ya take that chill pill yourself?

The Mods rock. KF is a SUPERB author. I stand by her.

And whoa there Nelly, I've seen some crappy writers in my time.

KF is a true talent. She doesn't have to smut-ify her writing to get likes.
