One more concern majority of members have on this forum is that Most of us feel Mods are biased towards one group coz of friendship or whatever may be the reason.
Now this might not be completely true but if majority of the members feel Mods are biased than there is something wrong. if you can address this as well it would be great. this is just a feeling that most members are having, some have express it and some are shy/ignoring/scared.
Now that you have asked for our opinions i am expressing it.
other members: this is the right time to speakup as our opinions are asked here.

I think the name calling is appropriate as long as it is associated with the characters and not the actors personally. Secondly, the intention behind the name calling is what counts. Some people engage in it out of sheer frustration and some for humor. Even the leads of the show are called all kinds of names when the audience is irritated with them but then there are other members here who use name calling as a means of instigating others. That is when it appears a little wrong to me personally. People's intentions are very obvious from the manner in which they engage in the name calling. On this forum, some people do it exclusively to be vile and to rile up other members who like the character and it is REALLY starting to get very irritating now.

I hope you guys can come to a decision soon.

Firstly, thanks everyone for coming out. We can only improve if we know there's something wrong.

The reason why I posed this thread is because people feel that the DT are bias. We just wanted to see what you see as bashing/instigation versus our perception. I feel it's a stepping point to remove that ideology.

Members have to understand that we cannot close a topic only if it contains negativity. Opinions can be negative or positive. Topics are only closed if they breach a rule.

So generally speaking everyone feels that name calling should be allowed to a point where it's not instigating and negative.

Name calling for fun is acceptable as long as that is not meant to instigate the tug of war on forum.

Members need to understand that there is a difference between negativity and negative comments. If the character is not doing good then there is no way he/she can have a positive comments.

Every person has a different perspective and everyone needs to respect others perspective.Its ok to bash the characters rather than bashing each other.

The creatives of the show have done enough damage to the show and we the viewers don't need to make any more mess on this forum on the name of our fav. characters since most of us come here to enjoy the forum and keep ourselves entertained rather than go through the verbal abusive wars.

I totally fail to understand one thing that if i like some one to the core how can a negative comment made by others make any difference to my liking?

Thanx for the Topic Gur 😃

basic problem of this forum is members in this forum have different views/Rules for different Characters ...


( except few fans who r fans of both lead actors and Characters and those who believe in fair discussion )

how it works is :

If u r a fan of female lead ( aka actress ) then u r against Male Character ( actor )and their fans , they will call names to the Male character and everyone related to that character in the show to hurt the fans of that character or to instigate them but when Male character fans do the same with Female Character they feel offended , they make those topics closed and then it starts Vice Versa , like a war ... another example, for a long time Leech word was used for the Negative character Richa but as soon one used that word for a character ( abhay) who is with a female character in the show, those posts were reported and U were also dragged into it and then suddenly this word became offensive which was used once for the Villain of the show ...

same members will report the threads , posts where name calling was used for characters but Those same members will Like those posts where someone is Abusing a Member , ( see the difference between Member and a Character ), why they will like abusing post for a member ? bcz that member is a fan an actor and character which they don't like ... or can say belongs to opposite party ... so for them name calling to a character is offensive but name calling to a member is fine ...so this is double standards which creates fights and Instigate members

another example today I called show lead a Vamp ( its a Character , if villain can be called a Vamp then why not a heroine? its my POV and my thinking and its not an abuse or name calling ) as a response someone started a thread abt me and Called me a looser ... I was called looser bcz i used Vamp for the show female lead 😆 ... See how some ppl can go to this level for a character that they even start abusing a member for a character and Surprisingly many ppl LIKE those posts and they even comment in the support and wishing Get well soon ( they them-self need these wishes urgently 😉 ) while they are abusing a member for a character ... Someone who is saying name calling ( even a simple word like a Vamp ) for a female lead shld Not be allowed, is liking the posts where someone is abusing a member 🤪 ...




some threads get closed bcz those bash the female character while those same members do the same in ATs which remains open .

Different rules for Different characters

I personally Have no problem in Basic name calling to the characters ( All Characters ) ... this happens in other show forums too ...but when one grp doesn't allow it for their fav character then me too won't allow this for my fav character even though I know these r just characters and its absolutely fine ...so this kinda situations create fights and spoil the discussion atmosphere for everyone

i want rules same for everyone . If a lead can be called idiot then there shld be no problem if someone calls a female lead idiot too , if Female negative character can be called Vamp then there shld be no problem if one wants to call a heroine Vamp

Thanks for the thread gur!

I edited my posts as i understood my mistake :)

Bashing any character or any fellow member was neva my intention bt when others are doin that thing so why shouldnt we ?? I think its human nature.. If someone doin bad to us we should do the same to them

This tug of war would have neva started bt until and unless few fellow members have not started laughing on KNs accent and making fun of her and then made siddhi as there target and made fun of her..

And when we started bashing KC(character) people started emotional attyachar on us that how we can do so and its there fav character in the show

So cant they have the same feeling for us.

And yes we neva made fun of actors.

I knw this al is happening just bcoz of poor storyline

bt when we did stopped bashing they came up again to bash the character which is now not needed as very few members feel the character is wrong..

I cant say the DT is biased or not, just want a strict rule for all the members of this forum so no one can bash any charater/actor/member :)

I will say yes to name calling bt till an extent..

Calling richa chudail should be acceptable

Bt calling leads wid bad name should not be allowed bt they can be called within a limit and words should be used which are used in the show... As it wont hurt anyone...

Many people neva liked old richa so she was called 'witcha' and now when the actress is changed and people are liking new richa so she shouldnt be called 'witcha'

What sort of rule is this :/

And one person shouldnt create same type of topics and call the actor/actress by bad name(derogatory words) as this is defo gonna hurt the fan group and will again led to fights


Gur one more suggestion can we a dislike button as well like we have in actors profile/articles comments so that all can know how his/her post is :P

Again i wil say u r the moderator nd u know rules better than members bcs that's yr work nd priority in forum.
Just want to say onething that if any lead was called 'vamp' in any other forum constantly for few days with intentions evident to all normal members here,considering the number of posts made ,by now a drastic step should have been taken against the member.
Im saying this bcz again anthr psycho post was made ystd nd out of irritation anthr member made a post bcz the law is lenient to some here ,but the funniest part is that the vamp post is open nd the other member warned nd blockd.
Am i wrong?
(The post is intended to u only)

Gur as now u can see ppl r defending how abusing a Member is absolutely fine but abusing a character which does not even exist in real life is not fine and if someone bashed a character that person deserves Name calling , abuses as per them and its absolutely fine for them 🤣 🤪 ...a post for a character is a psyco post but an abusive thread for a real member is Not 😉

if one can be frustrate and start abusing the Members why not other ??? 😉 atleast other one did Not Abuse anyone not even a fictitious character ... but some ppl prefer to ignore some things ...

so as per their new law i m also allowed to start abusive threads abt few members na ???? 😉 oh well i don't need to stoop this low ...so i don't need to do so 😉


i think now very well you can understand the situation of the forum and hope u will make rules based on this , bcz to change the thinking is really hard so this forum does need really strict rules

and Gur do mention the definition of derogatory words and also clear that if we r allowed to bash anyone in the AT and not in the open ???? bcz i see different rules for AT's bashing and main posts bashing ... main ones get locked while nothing happens to ATs ...if a Vamp is a derogatory word for heroine then it shld be the same for villain too ...All characters shld be treated the same

Abusing members should not be allowed at all. And those who are complaining about abuses have themselves accused members, made fun of them and mock at their opinions. I have several post that I can report here for that matter.
