No one is disputing that "liking" a post is supporting it.
That is a given.
We are all intelligent enough here, to understand that.
The point being made here, is that it should not be up to the members to know if a post is considered "offensive" or not, and therefore know if one should "like" it or not.
Even posts that are obviously offensive to the majority, may not be offensive to some.
Therefore, it is up to the Mods to determine if a post is offensive or not.
It should never be left up to a member to determine that.
In my case with the thread about Hiten's accident, I had "liked" the post before Devashree ruled that it was offensive, so I think it was very unfair of her to warn me after the fact.
If I had "liked" the post after she had ruled it offensive, then I would most certainly agree with her warnigng to me.
Devashree would have seen my username at the end of the post before she issued her warning, so she cannot say that she did not know I had "liked" the post before her warning.
Opinions and views are subjective, so the Mods cannot expect members to always correctly judge a post to determine whether it has violated a rule or not.
They constantly tell us not to be the forum police, yet here it is Devashree is expecting us to do just that, by determining for ourselves whether a post contravenes any of the forum rules.
I hope this thread will see the involvement of the other Mods, from Ravjot down, and that once and for all, the interpretation of the rules can be made absolutely clear and be implemented fairly and without favour, across the board.

agree with everything...especially the bold.

Varun,
Well done. This has been needed for a long time.
I hope the Mods, from Ravjot down, read the concerns expressed here, do the proper research, and take appropriate action when it comes to the interpretation of rules and the issuing of warnings.
This Forum needs to be managed fairly and impartially, for ALL members, and not be in favour of a few and be against the majority, as pertains now.
Mark you, the majority who receive unfair treatment, are the ones who stay within the rules and are respectful to others.
This is a reflection of society at large, because the same happens all over the world in all sections of society.
Very unfortunate indeed.
Thanks again Varun for this thread.

The members can judge for themselves whether the post is offensive or not. Most of the time we respond to the reported post members wherein members know whether someone is breaking the rule or not. The post had called someone's opinion as 'sick'. Isn't that offensive in itself? Anyone would know that post is breaking the rule.

I asked her to be more careful while clicking likes since, it hurts a member's feeling. If you have problem with that, please take it up with CM. I am now closing this topic.
