Hey Rima,
you could have PMed us and waited for the response instead of questioning the moderators action openly.
@Rima - You were one of the petitioners here and have made several protest. Did we close down those posts? You were asking me why we allowed "actor being unprofessional". The topic maker had stated his point based on news from media and we allowed the members to share their point of view and its closed down now since it went of the track. But What about the malicious gossip thread you were part of? Doesn't the same rule apply there? Was that okay to discuss? You and the other wanted the show to end and when it was ended, you want to collect fund for the employers who lost their job, is that part of the show discussion, Rima? Its neither India forum or the members responsibility. Making fun post of the forums current state is maybe fun and light hearted for you and your friends but many of the members were hurt. I am not denying the fact your post would have been allowed under another circumstances but current forums state will not the moderators allow any kind of fun post about the forum and its members for the time being.
To all - If the Moderators close down Anti-PH Posts, then they are favoring anything related to Gul and co. If they close down Barun related posts then they are Sanaya Fans. Or if they close down Sanaya related posts, the moderators are fan girls of Barun, etc. It has always been the moderators who are blamed and in fact, we are used to it! However, lately, we've seen many posts regarding this and hence let me pose a question for the members!
Don't all the members (that is you guys) have some responsibility here as well? If you require a peaceful forum (which is also our aim) then the members should also cooperate and contribute to this by taking up their responsibilities. It goes both ways. Members are complaining about certain posts being locked, but did anyone care to read the forum rules? Did we stop any one from protesting? Sharing constructive criticism? Fun post? We simply had requested the members TIME AND AGAIN from posting repetitive topics, not to use profanity and have it within IF COC. We simply wanted everyone's cooperation!
Many of the topics are not informative yet at times go onto encourage others to harass and order direct towards a negative propaganda. It's absolutely fine to display your frustration in a constructive manner but name-calling fellow members, actors, PH, SP etc is absolutely NOT OK! Whatever you discuss outside of India-forums.com is not of any concern to us here, but we have certain rules that everyone must abide by on this plate-forum. Many members have good topic to discuss but due to the language, it turns into a battleground. Some members knowingly open such topics! So what is the point of opening such topics in the first place, if you already know that it will get closed down?
Everyone is aware of the rules yet breach the rules and when the mods takes action, we are being called biased, fan girls and what not. Lately the forum has been flooded with "I Called SP/ Barun" etc, "PH is wrong", "I have a source" "Sarun will be back", "barun is innocent", etc topics , but what guarantee do we have that they are all reliable sources of information? The moderators cannot verify the credibility of those posts and allow members to misguide fellow members. Well some members called the moderators actions for "yellow journalism ", but what about all the theories and speculations flooding the forum? Has any of you actually seen it yourself' what was going on behind the scene when the member talked to him or her? You are choosing to believe whatever others present in front of your eyes, be it the media/ news/ interviews/ tweets.
Let's not forget DT are members as well and have a life outside India-Forums. They have our own lives and cannot be here 24/7. There are a lot of other issues as well the DT are dealing with and sometimes DT are not left with enough time to deal all the issues within the immediate time frame. Whenever there is any bashing or instigatory post members jump into it even after knowing it will aggravate matter more only lead to arguments/fights and nothing else. Policing the forum is mods duty not the members so leave that job to us.
Rather than rehashing the same finger pointing at the forum state , fan groups or members / mods , why don't every one make good posts on episodes from the beginning and have good time on the forum.
If you have any further concerns please feel free to contact us. Thank you once again for your cooperation.
Regards,
IPKKND Dev Team
