Hi All
The negativity on the forum is clearly evident and for a new member to join the forum has become extremely difficult.We wonder why the forum rank has been decreasing when all we see these days is a tit for tat kind of game between the two fangroups...Both Jodha and Akbar are equally important to the show along with all the supporting characters and so are their fans...As a genuine follower of the show, if I was to join the forum discussions today I'd be confused and put off with the ongoing issues and would first have to pick a side and make sure I stay loyal to it as well?
We totally understand that certain tracks may be frustrating and we encourage topics with healthy and constructive criticism to get through them but taking to unnecessary bashing of characters and derogatory remarks will only make the situation ugly. We appreciate a sense of humor. Sarcasm and play on words are common and fine as long as it does not cross the line over to rudeness/insult.
We need to remind ourselves that its a fictional show with a historic backdrop and negative characters always help up the drama quotient...When the makers themselves claim no actual reference to the historical facts, why drag sensitive topics like religion/caste/race into discussions that end up hurting members?. Dislike and criticism is okay but insulting/mocking comments with clear intention to put down in a derogatory manner isnt. We seldom see topics that are neutral and contain healthy discussions without favouring any one character.Is it so hard to agree to disagree?
Honestly, its not pleasant to see the forum divided into two sensitive fandoms that can't bear even the slightest comments made against their favourites and is a major turn off for the ardent followers of the show who like to discuss it as a whole...There are members who've quit the forum due to the utter intolerance that has taken over the discussions.One can surely express one's view but that needs to be made in a civil and respectful manner.
Kindly co operate with us so we are not forced to close down your threads and help promote positive and healthy discussions that will help with the forum rank and let us enjoy the show and forum in harmony.
Regards
Hina
