Mods.. Here are rules of the forum as posted on IF.. so what happened to these.. Are we throwing them out of the window.?
These clearly states that " Bashing and making personal attacks against any actor/actress/CVs/members/characters etc. is not allowed".
"Giving names to other fans will not be tolerated. From now on name calling, bashing other fans, or stereotyping will not be allowed""
2. Comparison Topics/Instigating Posts/Plotting: Firstly and foremost, emphasizing in any way or form that "one character/actor or show is better than the other" will not be allowed henceforth. By now, we all know instigating topics and comparison on this forum are not allowed. Some members purposely instigate others and believe they can get by with it and some plan attacks in other places and decide to disrupt the functioning of the forum. Well, it will not happen anymore.
3. Name-Calling/Stereotyping: Giving names to other fans will not be tolerated. From now on name calling, bashing other fans, or stereotyping will not be allowed. In addition, comment on the show and not the viewers. It seems like half of the posts are targeted at the viewers rather than the show. Do not pass snide remarks at viewers of the show just because their interest lies in something different from yours. Actor name calling will not be tolerated either. Calling Character names is allowed as long as they are not offensive.
7. Bashing/Personal Attacks: Bashing and making personal attacks against any actor/actress/CVs/members/characters etc. is not allowed. Make sure members know the difference between bashing and criticism. A critic is one who discusses things in perspective, never loses objectivity and states things in a logical and constructive way. But a basher is one, who states the points a bit too heavily such that, it no longer looks like criticism but looks like a total attack. Everyone have their own point of view let's respect it. You have right to raise your opinion but one should see lines ain't crossed. Avoid making posts that are abusive, derogatory, insulting or sarcastic enough to affect the sentiment of another member. This is against IF COC and won't be tolerated.
Keep a control on your sarcasm. If the mods feel that your post is no longer critiquing, but is full of sarcasm/attacks... that will be held against you.
Can the mods please answer these.. are there any rules left in IF, sorry in IPK forum at all?
