thanks for making this topic..it was needed...but i think..nothing is gonna change..pple will hardly learn from it 😆


yea but if we members point it out to them and ask them to change title, at least the number of such posts can be reduced.. or lets just book mark this and post the link on their thread 😆

I was thinking the exact same thing...hahaha I browse from my phone and yes I have a 4g network, but it still takes time to open it up and scroll through... Too bad it's a big fat nothing when I finally get in the post...
Spoiler...kind of (that topic drew me in and I read through it, only to find out it was the TM's mind working overtime instead of a legitimate spoiler...) it wasn't even a 'kind of' spoiler. I was at work reading this and you can guess just how annoyed I was that I wasted my time...
However, the worst ones are the ones that say 'NEWS' when it's just the TMs ideas and nonsense. I usually try to be the better person and just click out of it when I really just want to say... umm, that's really not news so you need to learn to differentiate.
Anyway, great topic!!! I think you should start one about there being over 40 pages of topics started within the last few hours and most of them say THE EXACT SAME THING...eee How many different threads have I seen on Payal today!?! Instead of posting in an open thread everyone rushes to pen their own and they're saying the exact same stuff. I hate trying to navigate through this forum now b/c I get to like page 30 and I have yet to find more than 3 threads that seem like they're worth looking at. It's like looking for the needle in a haystack. I give up!!!!!!!!!!!! k, well it's only 12:30pm here so back to work!!!!

ALL THESE days i used to ignore such topics.. even laugh at them cz there was nothing to do.. we were all waiting for barun to return and story to progress... Right now the story has moved more in the last 3 episodes than it has from the past 3 months.., and at this point we are all waiting for real news and such misleading topics are pissing me off


Really! I have given up searching for any such stuff now-a-days! I prefer to read anything else but these so-called spoilers...! Once there were just tooo many topics on Barun returning, Barun doing this and Barun doing that, Sanaya wearing this dress and that dress with some particular make-up etc etc etc (most of which apparently was listed as 'News' and 'Spoilers', so I remember me staring at this line for five whole minutes -

Home >> Indian Television>> Star Plus >> Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? >> Discussion Forum

This has more meaning... I at least didn't think my time as wasted! 😆

A title that said NEWS triggered this

Its come to a point where I open a thread only if a recognise the thread maker to be someone who I can rely upon to not provide misleading news. I have nothing against reading OS or prediction. Let your imagination rule! But let the reader decide what they want to read.

I'm thinking I'd rather wait and see if a thread is getting proper traffic to judge the value of its contents before actually opening it.

Well, I would like to point one thing here - just because a thread is getting response is no guarantee for it being genuine. So I doubt judging the traffic is a great idea... Though it can be indicative some times...

But yes, let the reader decide if she/he wants to open a particular topic named however... I agree...

I agree... topic titles shouldn't be misleading. Even I've come across such topics and now I have started hesistating to open many of the topics (even genuine topics).

And some aren't even fake spoilers, Adi!
They make topics such as "Barun new pics", and then when you open it, it says, "Nothing much guys. Just wanted to see how many views the topic gets! 😆"

And I'd be like, "Seriously?!" "😆"???!!!

Get a life, people!

Oh! Thanks for making this post, Adi! 🤗
