Why are we unable to carry on sensitive yet important discussions about issues that impact society? Case in point the threads on Ranveer Singh's comments on feminism get shut down. A thread discussing Tisca Chopras problematic victim blaming gets shut down. There is no chat thread for me to post random musings. Why is everything so Draconian? I understand this is Bollywood forum and we are supposed to gossip like teenagers about celebrities. Also very mixed messages. We are not allowed to engage in fan wars like silly teens either. Ok yeah whatever.

I have a pertinent question

When 3 people are in a room and 2 of them are grinding on each other. What is the proper etiquette for the 3rd person 😆😆😆

I guess that's because some members get personal and deflect the thread or due to troll invasion. In that case, I marvel at the forum's inept policies which fail to punish the rule breakers only and rather end up shutting down insightful discussions.

Sometimes we cannot even gossip or say things we assume on a celeb. That is gossiping and that will get shut down sometimes. Or the rate an actor forums get taken down too. Why? As the public who watches these films, I think it's safe to rate an actor on your taste or not.

I think there is a point where people can be extremely crossing the line with what they say and if they start accusing and abusing members, that's different. But nooo...just close the whole topic as it will hurt the celeb or someone got offended by it. 😕🤢

And sorry, but I used to love coming here and reading gossip or people's assumptions on things. It just makes for an interesting topic and get your mind off stuff, even if it isn't true. I mean, there is all good fun in these things but I guess defaming is why they are so sensitive? I don't know, really?

I also agree, we cannot even have discussions on certain things and its annoying. There are some topics besides gossip that I enjoy or want to engage in but nooo...too controversial and sensitive.

The most senseless rule is the 'no comparison posts' allowed rule.

My topic on which Padmavati poster was the best got closed 'cause it instigates fan wars. 😕 Are you serious?

How can comparisons be not allowed on a FORUM? Forums are for discussion. When there are different products in a market, comparison is natural. Films are meant to be compared and contrasted.

The dropping numbers should convince them that freedom of speech is most important.

Our CC on the CC forum got closed by TV fanbots who get offended easily? Like W*F.

BW forum is becoming more and more like a TV forum where 'bashing' is not allowed.

We need a new CC. We demand it.

Depends on what you're in the room for.

It is really sad that the forum gets controlled on the whims of some trolls and ultra-sensitive folks. A little bit of heated banter and the ax chops down.
Personally, I can't be knackered if my favorite celebrities are criticized, bashed or even made fun of. I'm not being paid by their PR to manage their image. Why do people care? if they stopped caring until they actually get paid the forum would be a better place.

Also, who cares if I get called the choicest names. It does hurt and offend me. But why should some idiotic trolls bring me down? I'd hate some trolls and immature people who cannot have a civil debate shut down a topic.

The only thing worth reporting or taking seriously is death threats, violence, doxing and bullying.

I wouldn't blame the mods wholly.. More often than not, they wouldn't even read the whole thread.. I mean who has the patience to read 40 pages worth of comments? Its the people who report that are to be equally blamed for this mess.. The mods often just react to the reporting by closing the thread.. Wrong I know but then they aren't really paid employees who would take this seriously enoguh to read every comment and eradicate the problem.. they take the easy way out..
