I would have never posted this request of mine as I have the least expectation of it being addressed but since this is an open thread regarding discussions related to rules, the minimum that I can do is put forth this request.
I've read the general rules, code of conduct and I do generally know what to expect in terms of limitations and constraints in a public forum. I've hopped into multiple forums for multiple years but for the very first time in this forum, I've seen one sect of members always being reprimanded.
My honest humble opinion and request, I'd rather have someone in the Dev Team who is unbiased. For me that is what is lacking foremost. All of us have to follow the rules of conduct and ofcourse as individual members, we do have the responsibility of upholding it and equally deserving the warnings and restrictions if we fail to do so. But as I see, it's always one sect that is being dealt with a hard hand than the other.
I'm a member who joined this forum after the introduction of the new parallel lead. Since then until now, for me nothing has changed. I'm still apprehensive of posting in any thread because I find it no longer to be open and fair and reviewed unbiased and hence my request. I saw what happened with the banner contest months ago, I saw what happened with the DT/AT's and now the TRP thread as well and I'm disappointed to say the least.
I do sincerely hope things get better with whatever changes you bring in from the collective suggestions and I hope it gives members like me to actually look forward to visit the forum. If this is not the right thread or such a request cannot be addressed, kindly ignore it. I would wait until the right one is there to share this feedback.
And lastly, as we've seen, the show is completely changed now with a different track and mostly different set of actors. I see no point in having any dedicated thread related to old couple discussion because the show itself looks like a cut off from previous phase (not even a flashback to the previous characters). And if at all people were to discuss since they follow Sumbul, we do have an AT for Sumbul, so it could be done there. Ofcourse as we've seen there's nothing that's stopping people from creating threads to discuss the old pair or the past story but shouldn't the forum be base to the members who are watching the show currently for the current pair and the current story?. This is my opinion only and I leave the rest to see how it's addressed.
