Issue: Wanting celebrity status in the forum

I have noticed that a lot of issues are cropping uo in the forum because most want instant celebrity status in the forum.
So we have all kinds of mess:
  • Fake spoilers (it defeats the original ones)
  • Fake news (It makes us doubt the original news)
  • Plagarism (It makes us doubt the original writers)
  • Fake claim of visits to sets and other claims (it makes us doubt the original ones)
Why? Of what use is being a celebrity in this forum? Think. People don't even know you as you or is this why people do it? Because they are anonymous.
Having said that. we as foum members should do something to fight this.
I for one believe we should ban spoilers except from the most credible members. We all know whom I mean.
I also believe we should not comment on threads where someone says they have visited the set, unless there are pics to back it up.
Plagarism, I have no soultion. Never have been able to counter this problem despite so many years in the writing industry. Except that being in this profession I can smell it instantly. But I know not many can. So suggestions welcome.
But what else? Any answers anyone?

Good post Rima

Why some people are doing this? I could only say one thing.."IDENTITY CRISIS". Nobody knows you who really you are on forum and it''s easy for them to fake.

Suggestions you gave are good. One thing to add..stop commenting on HATE posts for IPKKND, Barun, sanaya or Sarun. No point even taking a peep into such posts and waste our time commenting. If they hate IPKKND first thing they will not come to the forum. Well we can discuss abt our opinion on current track, future track, Arnav and Khushi as characters or any other characters.

agreed... there are some attention seekers everywhere that's all... troublemakers who deserve no notice, so ignore them!

Seriously, agree with you on all counts! The last week of happenings has left a bad taste in everyone's mouth!
Such blatant lying about visitng sets Sarun live on IF, fake spoilers after spoilers...

better we have a spoiler thread updating by known sources alone (mishti, zee_news) or any other if they can give their source and it is confirmed only then allowed to update this may be a better way to handle the spoiler situation frankly I am clueless on how many spoilers I've read since the weekend alone maybe 100s seems to me! the new prediction zone is the spoilers looks to me!

People visting the sets need to post pics and we the people of the forum also should tend to stay away from these posts unless we know there is solid proof of photos or location etc as well I guess...

I don't know what to make of these people who lie so blatantly? Have no words for them!
I frankly have missed reading so many genuine and good posts coz of all these posts getting most comments and the genuine posts/feedback/ discussions have been moved back in the thread! Hope this ends soon and forum is back to its good old days...Miss the positive forum of 6 mths ago 😕

Apart from wanting celebrity status or attention, I think these people might also be doing all for some sadistic pleasure they get by being able to fool so many people so easily.
What can we do... we should not believe everything we read so quickly, especially when it comes to spoilers, news or set visits...atleast not until we are sure of the source or until the claims are backed-up by some proofs.

I agree Rima! Sick of all the nonsense posts!🤢 And all the copy-cats who don't have even an ounce of originality! 😡 And worse still, they get offended when people liken them to thieves.. Where I come from, taking and using something that ain't yours, and claiming it is, IS stealing!!! 😲

Yes, let's do our part and not encourage these 'I'll-do-anything-to-be-popular' people... 😕

Just lead the way, and I'll follow! 😃

i agree. with fame comes a ton of issues. ipkknd is famous and number 1 in india forums. so i assume there are hackers and abusers. let's be vigilant and report such posts

VERY TRUE!!!!
Some people here work VERY hard on posts and barely get noticed! And then some really pathetic idiots decide to make up a fake spoiler or fake 'meet up with cast' or just copy and paste someone's work and claim its theirs and they get like 500 likes and 100 + comments!
I mean W*F! So people who work super hard for like for 3 hrs on a VM or OS/FF/SS or funny/decoding/predicting post just scrape through and get only like 75 likes and 25 comments! And someone who takes 5 minutes in faking something get over 500 likes and 100+ comments? Why dis kolaverie kolaverie kolaverie di?
I personally am sick and tired of it! And hope we do something!
