Episode 235 Discussion: 2nd April 2013

1. It helps in keeping the forum clean without much litter. People just need to fall in a habit.
2. We can have it like breathers at first followed by analysis.
3. It also helps like-minded souls and pals bond and gel together to drop in their thoughts for themselves as breathers and for their friends as a peep into the episode and for others to post their reviews.
4. And those from different time-zones, who do not get to watch the episode at this time of telecast (Indian 8:30 PM), without any worry to trace or keep track of all their buddy's posts, they can come here, read with leisure and later post their analysis after watching it from their Time zones.
5. Do not litter the thread with chit-chat conversations. A little is permitted to have the friendly atmosphere, but when you feel like chatting more, it is desired you take your conversation with your buddies to alternate venues like chat clubs, pm mode etc.
6. Quoting Policy: It is desired that people refrain from single, double, triple and multiple quoting of posts on a repetitive basis. They can pick out the parts that they like to quote as opposed to quoting the entire post. It is often seen that we have to scroll through the pages when all they have done is quoting and more quoting with one line response to the actual post. IF has a rule that more than three times quoting is not allowed. But nowadays as people read IF posts over phone, it is preferred that people do not quote longer posts and just extract the portions of the post that they like to respond to and if they still find it relevant to their thought process then get the entire quoted text.

1. Additional Rules From MB Dev Team
2. Advice from SD

• For RK and Madhu - it's Rishbala. For Sultan and Madhu - it's Sulbala. No other pair names shall be allowed to describe this couple. That means no Bhaibala, no Rustbala etc. Same applies to their individual names. If you are found using other names, your post will be edited and amended to suit Rishbala/Sulbala.
  
  
• Names used in the story will be allowed on the forum. However, the DT will look at the context in use - at the DT's discretion. If the names are used to mock or bash, there will be strict action taken. However, if one refers to RK as kameena to discuss the storyline it will be allowed. Terms like RK is a rapist will not be allowed. Please note that if any derogatory terms are used in the show itself, they will also not be allowed on the forum. We want a clean environment. Please find suitable substitutes.
  
  
• Terming a character or the storyline dumb, idiotic, stupid will be accepted. These are adjectives and can be used to describe something or someone. Once again, it will be looked in terms of context at the DT's discretion. However, these terms will not be accepted if used against a fan base or particular individual.
  
  
• Please note that this also applies to ATs and discussion threads. You cannot use name calling to bash the "other" fan group and not expect to get reported. ATs and discussion threads are not your personal space to attack others using name calling. Kindly stick to the individual whose AT it is.
  
  
• We encourage you to report violating posts. However, please do not report material just for the sake of revenge. Just because a note was left in your AT or your topic does not mean you go around stalking the forum looking to seek revenge from the other fan group. Take a step back and ask yourself - have they truly violated the posts? What if I was in their shoes?
  
  
• Avoid using caps and big font for an entire sentence or post as it represents shouting on a public forum. You can use caps to emphasize a word or two.
  
  
• Lately there are have been many posts on the forum regarding the bashing, mocking and wars on this forum. Though we value the freedom of speech, kindly do not pinpoint fan groups - I know its sorta of hard not to do that but try to avoid stereotyping and generalizing against one fan group when it may just be a handful of them. Please use the following thread to vent out your frustrations: Frustration/ Critics /Complaints Thread

We hope for your co-operation.
