Hi guys,
It has come to the Dev Team's attention that our respective ATs have been going through hard times with members not following the AT rules etc. so the Development Team has come to a conclusion that if we can't get you guy stop, then your own friends can!
It has come to the Dev Team's attention that our respective ATs have been going through hard times with members not following the AT rules etc. so the Development Team has come to a conclusion that if we can't get you guy stop, then your own friends can!
So from now on, the respective AT monitors are:
Rishbala AT: Phoenix.Xeelan, --Shivu--, and -Deepali88-
Vivian Dsena/RK AT: vivoash, -Rasmi24- and -Deepali88-, --Shivu--
Drashti Dhami/ MB AT: DDAT, Cutieee1992, -Deepali88- and --Shivu--
And most importantly, the 2 members in charge of monitoring ALL 3 ATs, be it Rishbala, VD or DD ATs are: -Deepali88- and --Shivu--
What does this mean?
This means that before you come to the Dev Team [Gur, Shruti or I] for help on AT issues, be it spamming, mocking etc, go to them!
The reason we have AT monitors is that they will deal with the members in their respective ATs.
Why should we go to them?
If you find these rules being broken:
- Discussing other actors. DD fans in the VD AT, or even DD/Madhubala in the VD AT or discussing VD, VD fans and RK in the Madhubala AT
- Spamming. If you see members posting "." numbers etc to get the AT to go faster, report it to them to the AT monitors!
- Bashing. If you find members bashing, calling names, mocking the opinions of members, discussing about CCs, the forum, other members in the respective ATs, report them! Not to the DT but to the AT monitors!
Consequences
- If the AT Monitors contact you through PM to remind you of your behaviour or point it out in the AT, please beware that the next time you break the same rule, you are liable for the respective AT's closure of a period of 24 hours or longer. Be it a simple mistake of spamming, you will get charged!
- If the AT Monitors realize you are still breaking the rules, they will come to us, the Dev Team, and if you still do not stop after being warned by us, you will be banned from posting in that AT for an entire week or even longer depending on the misdemeanor.
- If your behaviour continues then AT will be closed for a period of 24 hours, then 48 hours, then a week before being shifted to the Celebrity Fan Clubs section.
- Lastly, if the fault still continues, then you WILL get a warning level too!
Please be aware that these are measures to keep all 3 ATs clean and working in an orderly fashion.
New AT Rules
Rishabh-Madhubala/Rishbala AT:
- Discussion about other characters from the show in the pretext that they are important to what is being discussed about Rishbala is ALLOWED.
- Spamming IS allowed, but maximum of 5 pages at a time. So yes you are allowed to go off topic but ONLY 5 pages at a time. If spammers are exceeding 5 pages then you guys WILL be penalized. But DO NOT make this frequent. The DT or the monitors do not want 5 pages of spamming then discussion and then back to spamming. We want MORE discussion and less spamming.
- You are allowed to spam with pictures but only up till 3 pages at a time or else you will be penalized again. After 3 pages of picture spamming, you will have to do some actual discussion. If pictures are being discussed then they can be posted and can exceed 3 pages limit only because there IS discussion happening.
And most importantly,
Discussions about Rishabh-Madhubala ARE allowed to be posted on the main forum and those topics WILL NOT be closed down. Only because the show is Rishbala and cutting off discussion about them and only telling them to be posted in the AT is NOT fair. And this includes gushing/drooling posts on Rishbala. They are ALLOWED on the main forum. But, if you are posting one-liners on Rishbala, then they go in the Rishbala AT.
Development Team Attacking/Bashing/Bias: K guys, listen. You guys yourself know that the ATs move fast. So if you guys see the other AT breaking rules, report it. And we will take care of it. Just because one AT gets a warning and the other AT doesn't doesn't mean that we are biased. It is just that we have not given a public warning to the other AT as we felt the misdemeanor wasn't big enough and or/ 2 people were involved and not the whole AT.
And so now that you can have no future problems, the AT monitors were introduced.
So follow the rules, report the AT misdemeanors to respective AT monitors before coming to us because if you do, your PMs and reports will just be forwarded to respective AT monitors.
Thanks,
Madhubala Dev Team
