Hi Friends,

Last many days the section is seeing a lot of bashing in the name of criticism and also plain criticism is being taken as bashing and members reacting in hyper way. Such unsavory topics in the section has disrupted the environment leaving bad vibes and hurt sentiments here. It's time we pull up our acts and behave in a responsible manner so that we don't have to face similar situation again.

Here are a few ground rules that we have drawn up to maintain the sanctity of the place and live amicably.

Please take time to read it and remember, non adherence to the rules will mean serious action which can result in warning and even ban.

Instigatory /Insulting/Abusive Posts: Please avoid making posts that are abusive, derogatory, insulting or sarcastic enough to affect the sentiment of another member. Such posts will be dealt with very strictly. It is very frustrating to see such threads. But reacting to them is even worse. As soon as you see a thread of this type posted by someone, you will NOT take law into your own hands to teach a lesson to that person for insulting your fav jodi/idol. That aggravates matters more and you also become liable for action for reacting thus. Instead you will simply make use of the "REPORT" button and report the thread by stating the reason clearly. As soon as the Dev Team comes online they would take the necessary action.

Name Calling Posts : Please remember the serial is a fictional story with various plots and subplots. The actors and actresses are merely professionals who are enacting their respective roles. So, the actor/actresses are different than the characters they play. If you do not like a character, criticise the character but NOT the actor. Same goes to fans too. If you see a criticism against a character, please do not jump in to defend the Actor/actress, for it is only the character that is getting criticised. If anyone is at fault then it is the story plot.

And yes, while criticising, remember to not post anything unsavory that you wouldn't like hearing about yourself spoken by others. Any derogatory references or name callings against actors /characters/members/Dev team members are strictly a NO NO here.

No Slangs/Swear words/Curses/ Profanity in Posts : This is a family forum where we have members from 13 years of age to 70+ years visiting. So irrespective of how angry you are, or how frustrated you are, you will not use swear words, curses, slang's, or profanity. Anyone found doing so will face serious action.

Dev Team Issues: Dev Team related matter will not be addressed on the open forum. If you have any issues take it up on PM with the concerned DT member.

Hope you all will adhere to these rules and let sanity to prevail. This place is like your second home, please treat it lovingly and live contently as a happy family.


Thanks
IF Dev Team
