Okay, I'm ready to get bombarded with your replies and hopefuly some suggestions too.😃
Hmmm, let me clear those rules in detail now (finally got time😳).
Senseless topics, I think Anu exaplined it extremely well and sorry for not using the appropriate word. As Anu said, directionless is the best word to use there which should have been but to er is human.
There have also been Topics That Are NOT Related to KAA, which are unnecessary. So please only post topics that are related to KAA on this forum. By Unnecessary it was meant that no OLD topics or articles or images that have already been posted or discussed should be posted again (by this we are not referring to any of Iqbal pictures or Yash Pictures). If you see from the other side of coin you might realise what each and every rule meant. The main point here is not a debate on Yash fans vs Iqbal fans or yash vs Iqbal.
So please take that out of your mind that we are being biased to any actor or any actor's fans. You all are same for us, no matter who is your favourite actor or who you like more.
Iqbal has been and will be a very important part of KAA. He started the role of Shiv, which I personally thought was played EXTREMELY well👏. Saw Iqbal's first show (as in main lead) and liked it a lot (I dont have Sony so didn't watch KYPH).
Stick To the Main Point In the Topic – This is very crucial. Please do not start chatting in every topic as this sidetracks the main subject of discussion. At least 3 warnings will be given in that chatting topic itself before it gets closed, if the chatting doesn't stop even after that, we'll send those members a friendly warning PM and the topic will be closed as the fourth warning is given out -- Chatting, the main point. Well by chatting we mean not discussing how your doing in personal life. Well yes somethings are acceptable and don't come under chatting like sharing a really good news like you got 4 As in your AS final Exams (I so wish I get these😳) or etc.
Chatting doesn't mean you can't tell someone why Iqbal left the show or why is the story going in a certain direction etc. It basicly means cutting down on directionless posts (I hope I got the right word there, if not excuse me😳) which are not needed in terms of the acutal subject of the topic.
Please do not start discussing personal lives of your own or other members on the forum. Please use the PM service for such discussions where you want to discuss your personal life. -- Simple to understand, isn't it?
Also as we all know, Iqbal is no longer playing the role of Shiv Kapoor in the show. We all love and cherish Iqbal Khan and the memories we have obtained while he was Shiv. However, there is no need for old pictures, articles, or information to resurface or be posted again as we already know those things. If you would like to post pictures of Iqbal Khan, there is a whole gallery devoted only for Iqbal. Here is the link to that gallery: https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/karam-apnaa-apnaa/411753/picture-gallery-iqbal-khan-old-shiv. This gallery can also be reached from the "Important Links" Section in our Archive Mansion. --- yes the main point which some of us might refer to as😊. It says No need for old pictures or articles to resurface again. Please is you have new pictures of Iqbal Khan, I'm sure each and everyone of us would LOVE to SEE them and Thank who ever posts them WHOLEHEARTEDLY. But, what's the point of posting old things that have already been discussed? Yes if there are some pictures that havent been posted before then sure, those can be posted any time😃 without any fear of topic being locked away or trashed.
If there is any other thing related to Iqbal (like article, pictures, or anything else) a topic can opened by the KAA Development Team where you can post all the articles. There is already a topic up, as a sticky, for any kind of discussions related to Iqbal, please use that topic only. We are not saying this to make you feel over-moderated, but because the forum looks un-organized if all topics present are related to Iqbal. If you like the idea of a sticky devoted to Iqbal only, please state it in your reply to this post. -- By this we don't mean to sideline any of the members. The Iqbal Mansion was what we were referring to here. If there is a new article on Iqbal's show, please discuss that in the topic in Sitcky.
Why? -- simple becuse in the recent past there were too many topics on this same subject, when is Iqbal doing his latest show, which serial he is coming in and etc. The main idea behind the topic was NOT to make anyone feel side-lined or miserable but to just keep the forum organised and clean. If there are topics on same subject wouldn't that make the forum look messy?
For example, there are tons of topics on let's say World Cup, who you think would win (though I'm least interested in this), then the best option is to open only one topic where the SAME can be discussed conveniently.
Please take into consideration that Yash Tonk is the new Shiv so do not make any posts stating "I want Iqbal to come back" or "when is Iqbal coming back?" or anything similar to that. -- By this we are not saying that don't make posts about Iqbal but that don't make posts about Iqbal to come back in this show. We all know and have read in several aritcles that he doesn't want to come back in KAA. Didn't we sometime back decided to respect Iqbal's decision of leaving the show? Then why object when the same is just a reminder.
I really hope I covered everyting up in the rules topic. If I didn't drop me a PM and I will include in the post.
Why I haven't been able to reply in detail: well, because I had a mock today and was revising for that. Please don't think I'm ignoring anyone because I don't like you but because I'm busy with other things as well.
Lastly, I'm sorry if I have hurt anyone unknowingly. I didn't mean to offend anyone at all so please no grudges against me, I don't have against anyone.
We are a member of one great family/forum that's why the topic is left open to see what you guys suggest or what you think is good because at the end of the day, it's the members who the forum is for, not for the development team only.
queenkumar: I hope the explanations above is enough detailed. If not let me know and I'll go back and reply in as much depth as possible.
vivia (sorry if I got your username wrong) you said: just to please some yash fans, who is pleasing them?😕 please let me know coz I would really love to know that 😊 as I don't know it . Also, why are you guys feeling like we are putting Iqbal fans down? What would we get by putting you down? As far as iI'm aware we have nothing against you guys (not sure about you lot though) then why would we put you down? I'm not being sarcastic here but some questions that popped up in my mind reading your posts so thought of asking them. I hope I didn't offend anyone there.
Someone above said about Modz being sarcastic, as Anu said in one of her posts that we are normal members just like you guys are except for the title and a bit more rights (as in trashing, moving posts etc) that's it, nothing else is different. Well, if you go back and see your or other members comments you will notice how SARCASTIC and RUDE you were to us. We are Humans as well, please do take us as humans. If in some replies I have been sarcastic then it becomes such a big deal when you yourself have been doing this in the recent times as well.
I don't wanna quote anyone or name anyone here either so would leave it as a general comment. But you do know who was being sarcastic and when😊.
If I have left anything, please forgive me for that and just PM me (not gauranteed that I'd reply you back INSTANTLY) and when I get time, I'll come back and reply.
Again, sorry If I have offended or hurt anyone. I didn't mean to and never will.😳
