IMP: Just a reminder...

First off, I'd like to thank everyone for their patience - I know it's been a tough couple of weeks as far as the forum atmosphere goes and I really do appreciate how patient/cooperative everyone was as we worked on getting everything figured out. 😳 So really, thank you!

The forum's been going through a bit of a rough phase ever since the show took an (avoidable) turn for the worst about two weeks back. Everything from repetitive topics to member/character/actor bashing to the use of inappropriate words/comments has been prevalent in the forum. And I really do understand the frustration/anger that is being felt by all of us (believe me, I do!) so I'm hoping that a little reminder here will help us in reestablishing the productive forum environment. 😳😊

Alright guys... There have already been SEVERAL topics made about MR's exit. And we have a Criticism Corner (~|~ LTL - Comments/Criticism Corner ~|~ ) for the purpose of posting criticism for the channels/creatives (in a civil manner) should we feel the need to. In addition to that, several new threads have opened up discussing Aadesh and his character. Basically, we have a lot of repetitive threads. Things that can be discussed in ONE thread over the week are being "re-posted" in new threads each day. I can understand that we get overwhelmed sometimes by the show or it's characters, but by flooding the forum with similar (if not identical) posts we really do hinder productive discussion. If all we see on the forum are threads about the SAME topic, after a while it starts to feel mundane and tiresome to even LOOK at the forum. Also, if there are 5 threads for the same topic then NONE of them end up getting any worthwhile discussion because members honestly don't know which one to reply too.. Seriously! (At least that's my issue... 😆) So just as a small reminder, please remember to look through the first 3-4 pages of the forum before you make a new thread - you'd probably find that someone's already made a similar thread and your discussion could be continued there. 😳

Any discussion about MR's/Dutta's exit can be continued in either of the following thread:

Mishal Raheja Appreciation Thread
*=*=::The Lion's Den - Dutta AT::=*=*

And we can post any criticism/comments about current episodes/story tracks in the following thread:

Again, this is only for repetitive one-liner comments. You're still free to post separate threads about any aspect of the show - absolutely! But this is just for those small, repetitive one-liner posts that pop up everyday as a testament to our dislike of the show.. THOSE can probably be appropriately discussed/commented on in one of the threads mentioned above.😳

This has quite honestly been our biggest concern in these past two weeks. I understand that we're upset - a character we loved and an actor we adored have been unfairly evicted from the show and we're being presented with changes that we find unacceptable and just plain WRONG. I understand. But I have to remind everyone that while we might be sad about MR's exit, his exit has not been caused by nor has it been the result of anything Aadesh did! And just because we feel that Aadesh is not as convincing/pleasing as MR, does NOT give us the right to bash him - call him names, crack unfair jokes at his expense or insult his personality. It's not fair and it's NOT allowed. If we do not like him or his character in the show, we are free to turn off the television set and stay away from those Youtube videos. That's our right, our choice and we are free to exercise it. 😊 But we cannot go around bashing him for choices he made! And we CANNOT be comparing him with MR - they are both actors (even though I personally feel that MR is one of an exceptionally higher caliber than Aadesh) and they will both be RESPECTED equally. You can discuss their characters or the tracks as they pertain to the show.. But please lets refrain from commenting on the actor himself - especially when those comments are entirely biased due to our appreciation of MR. Posting comments about his personality based on his behavior on his Facebook page (a behavior that could very well be the result of harassment that he's probably facing at the hands of disgruntled fans to begin with 🤔) is not fair. Lets please try to avoid that. 😳

From now on, any threads made solely to insult Aadesh or entice members against him will be closed. If we really dislike him with such an intensity, I really suggest that we IGNORE him and any fan clubs geared towards his fans in entirety. Why bother when we apparently can't stand him? 😕

Similarly, I know we all dislike a certain creative team head with a passion and we've all expressed that in quite a civil manner on the whole. However OCCASIONALLY we get a few heated comments posted in the spur of the moment that get a bit harsh and uncalled for. So maybe we can just keep a little more vigilante check on that. We're free to express our opinion of his choices pertaining to the show and its development - but SOMETIMES (and this is quite rare because on the whole the forum's been great about this! 😆) we can try to word things a little bit better.

Thank you once again guys for all your cooperation and help in the matter. Apart from a couple of things mentioned here, the forum really is quite a delight over all. And hopefully we'll be able to work through these issues too, resulting in a healthier forum environment! Please feel free to post any questions/comments you might have in this thread - or feel free to PM either Shabz (Dew-drop) or myself with your concerns! 😳😊
