Rooj: You veryw well know character bashing was allowed before, but things went out of control, and due to that, we had to stop with character bashing too...we didn't say we won't bring it back, we might, that is only IF, members know how to respect each other and from character, it goes to member bashing

Ok pachu,

see then the main problem lies among some members who can't seem to differentiate there but why punish a majority of people for one person's mistake?

i mean majority of us here like to bash characters and most of us know where to draw the line, it is only some who don't so why can't we have that freedom? why punish a whole large number of people for one man's mistake? and i can guarantee that it is only a mistake not something done purposefully.

i hope you understand me.

sammie agree with all that you said including about mods they rock i did not make it clear before 😛 i dont think thye are biased

the minorities like you would like to put yourself weren't targeted by the mods or rathere were not singled out. this happened before so we are just asking for some freedom of speech becuase the last i heard the so called JB despos don't mind bashing a character but it was you guys who had a problem to begin with and hence all the laws were made because i remember that the rule of no character bashing was made after the entrance of AD.

Ok i guess we are going on the path to close this topic as well... 😉

Isn't that what i just said...if it wasn't for me and my Adian gang then it would have been an all u can bash AD buffet at the KS forum.

See seriously this is getting on my nerves now...but i will say it as calmly as possible...u guys should quit playing the victim, mods are not targetting just u guys but our topics were also closed.

Of course we r not gonna let people just bash AD, the world doesn't revolve around JW...there are people out there who have a better choice...and that is AD. So if I came to my AD's defense then what is there to whine about.

I never went or complained to mod against any despos nor have I reported any topics...coz i know that IF is a free forum...if the mods feel it is wrong then they go ahead shut it down...and i don't even question their actions.

Now if u wanna say anything against me in particular...say it, i don't mind. 😊 coz this is a free forum!!

Somebody pls answer this, because this thing has been going abt in my mind for months

Why isn't actor bashing allowed here? Actors too have a big part in the show, and if any member points out some flaw with the actor, that topic too is immediately closed. I don't understand, is it because some of the actors are members of the forum? If yes, if members stick to just praising the actors, wouldn't it allow them go on with the faults?I'm sure actors too would like to knwo what the audience truthfully thinks abt them.

Good question 😉
Well the thing is that...the people who made this topic and are supporting it are JW fans, u might be one too.
But yea...these wonderful people think that they can bash any other character on this forum as only JW exists and characters like AD are only made to bash....i mean seriously what crap!!😆
But anyways...the point is character bashing is sooo totally allowed...😉 but
if u have to have a good competition...such as us ADians...then when the topics gets closed...it is all the mods fault😆

Freedom of speech, I think this phrase means to be able to speak out against injustice to one person or many, against someone who is involved in illegal activity or perpetrating atrocities. I don't think it is used to make derisive, unthoughtful or plain rude comments about a person. No one is reading and understanding Pachu's comments(see below part of it), the reason for posts being locked out. Another thing do people know what the editor of a newspaper does, makes sure the paper doesn't get into legal trouble for printing something that is not true or leads to defamation of person.

Instead of taking things lightheartedly why do we have to have war of the words on the forum.

Rooj: It was not the minority, majority of members felt it, we were rained with pms after pms for topics made that members felt that their favorite was being bashed, hence, the rule came out.

Agree, it was after AD's entrence, but u can't blame 1 side of the coin for this, if AD supporters bashed JW, JW supporters did not leave a stone behind n went ahead n bashed AD too

did i say that they didn't? i didn't say that but what i'm asking is that why did they have a problem then?

why can't we just bash the character as long as keep it to a limit and if one person crosses it then that one person should be punished not the whole group who are innocent.

that is all im saying but like i have suggested on this thread that we can make a section on the KS forum where we can discuss such issues out in the open and then come to a solution that will suit both the parties. it will make life easier for everyone.

and instead of taking hasty decisions why not just solve it out among ourselves. and also Pachu in case you have forgotten the Princess Pia campaign wasn't closed down, which infuriated almost everyone here so why was the topic of rejoicing closed down? isn't that singling out one group here which was the 2nd time around. see megs wouldn't have bring this out if that didn't happen before. but this kind of bias-ness happened before too. mind i remind you when a post was made dealing with new rules and the JB fans were singled out right then and there.

Ok sammie,
im not going to create a scene here but you got it all wrong like you did first time around. No one is saying that you can't defend your character but like you just took things personally right now on this thread that's where everyone had a problem
i don't like to discuss you because that would be called attacking you. but yes i might have some complained with you and your little misunderstandings that you have at times.
neways i am fighting for all of us, but in case you haven't noticed latley the JB depos posts are always looked after these days. Its like we have to think twice before posting because it will get closed. i like peace and i know many of us do the same but right now what you are doing is calling for a fight. this post wasn't made for a fight it was to discuss here. so i am discussing the matter.
its not like we don't respect what the mods are doing but we are simple asking to discuss a particular rule and the freedom of speech.
