Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh I feel like screaming on top of my lungs. I am hungry, thirsty and sleep deprived. It's 2:40AM here and I am sitting on my bed editing out post after post for bashing, swearing and what not!!!! C'mon guys this is simply not done. I dont mind if you criticize Akash or any other celeb on this show but can we please do it so like HUMANS or is it too much to ask? Many of you bash akash for being foul mouthed and extremely rude then what must I think about your posts that seem like they have come straight out of Akash's mouth?😕

Calling akash or anyone else a pig and comparing them to animals is not going to get you anywhere then why must some of you stoop so low? Can we please stop this bashing right here right now? How hard can it really be to dislike a celeb yet still treat them as HUMANS because that is exactly what they are. I am really sick and tired of putting up forum wide warnings promising warning level increases at the slightest of bashing yet still giving many of you extra chances because I believe in you. Is this how you must repay me for my faith in you?😒 I am honestly very disturbed after reading some of the posts in the threads that have been started today and I really have no clue what to make of it
Can someone please enlighten me as to how much more me and Aman can do for you guys so that we can get you to stop bashing and discuss these celebs with the dignity they deserve as human beings? All your comments/suggestions will be entertained so please leave them in this thread and I will get back to them tom.
Thank You!
Love,
Jot
Reply to Immuno's suggestion and some other things I had to get out of my system😆
There is no concrete definition of bashing so there is no point in making a list. What I need from all of you is that you please treat these celebs and IF members the way you would like yourself to be treated with. All you can do it write about the short comings of someone from IJSMB but you cannot actually change them so no point in boiling your blood over it. You don't have to respect Akash or any other celeb from this show but do keep in mind that ALL of them have supporters here who might be highly offended by your words and you MUST respect their feelings. Some of the people in this forum have been calling Akash supporters "abnormal" [and not the nice jokey type one that might be ignored] Now you tell me is this the way to behave with an IF member? that too over a celebrity? Why are people being bashed for their personal preferences? Moreover, there are people here who are using words such as eunuch to describe some of the celebs in the show. Should that be considered okay? If you answer yes then you won't mind if I call you an eunuch...would you?😳 Calling these celebs names such as donkeys, mules, gandi machli, gutter ke flies etc. is ALSO considered bashing. If you don't want yourself to be called with such names then please don't do it to others. No matter what you want to believe, at the end of the day these celebs ARE HUMANS no matter how they behave. Furthermore,there are always way to constructively criticize someone. For example you can just say "Akash's behaviour was animalistic" instead of comparing him 100 different animals and in process hurting the sentiments of his supportes and degrading him.
We request members to use the feature to report any posts you find offending.
P.S I have deleted some of the posts in this thread. Guys please remember this thread is strictly to find middle ground for our two sides and take in all the suggestions from our dear members. PLEASE do not start defending or bashing ANY celebs here. Do that in other threads. Thank you :)

Sorry, Jot... for all the ugly comments that you had to edit. 😃 I hope you have a restful sleep, and when you return in the morning, you can ponder over this suggestion that I have:

Perhaps you can make a small list of the most common words that constitute "bashing". It isn't clear to me (and I'm sure, to many others as well), how far is too far for one to cross this arbitrary line between "bashing" and "plain criticizing". To many people, calling somebody a pig (or any other animal name), doesn't even register as an abuse. Likewise, this word "bitching" is used so colloquially now, that it wouldn't strike many people as offensive in any way... So, the point being, if there is a guideline indicating these most commonly abused/misused/misplaced words, we can always write our posts without inviting your attention. You don't need to compile a whole dictionary of abuse words used in the section, but merely indicate the most common ones that caused offense/riled some people so much that they bothered you by reporting such posts. 😃

This is only friendly suggestion, and I hope you have a nice breakfast, when you wake up! 😃

@ mcm226: You were the only one who called them male chuvinist pigs but other were referring to Akash and Chetan as actual pigs which might hurt the sentiments of their supporters.
@ Bugger: Bugger sorry about that edit in your post about bitching. I personally don't think that's bashing because bitching is too commonly used word in our everyday language to be considered foul. And we will accept that as it is :)

Sorry about lack of sleep. That sucks.

But I just want to know if sarcasm is allowed? I've never received a warning on this site, but I've been sarcastic in most of my posts over in Bollywood section (IF)...no one gave me a warning yet. But this forum seems a little conservative. So I just want to know if sarcasm is allowed? Some dude called me nasty for calling negar "Miss fish lips"....I wonder how thats bashing.....its a scathing remark at most.....seems definition is a bit extreme here.
