This post doesn't really have anything to do with Balika Vadhu as a show, it's more about the forum itself. I came here for a little bit of a mood pick up because I really like the members who post here and I like the overall atmosphere of this forum.

I literally was cyber bullied in another forum on this site. I expressed an unpopular opinion respectfully but got attacked and accused of things I did not say. Unfortunately, my frustration made me weak towards the very end and I retaliated instead of just leaving. This was much worse than the Gauri/Anandi arguments I've seen here. I've never had people gang up like that on me unexpectedly, so it was overwhelming and I'm still kind of in shock.

Regardless of who we support, at least people here acknowledge that we can have different opinions and can debate with respect most of the time.

I really appreciate that with this forum 😊

you are most welcome here, BV is one of the most friendliest forums on this site. Even gauri supporters are liked here, I can name intruderfast, then srkluver will usually say something controversial and everyone will post funny comments about it, woman11, tinoo,suchi, pjyo, khusi, hooked, angelic and some more are voice of reason here. Ankit is the funny guy here, he says everything we all want to say and we have a ball for days with stuff he writes.

Enjoy being on this forum and yes it has some great posts and some great members who I have enjoyed thoroughly sharing and debating with.


This is for our BV forum members👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Sorry to hear about it ... cyber bullying sucks ... so convenient to be as despicable as you can be just so you are anonymous ...

My way to deal with bullying is just to walk away ... On IF I have come across some extreme "fan" groups and no amount of being rational and making your point in a sensible manner helps ... it makes no difference at all ... its like people can't hear or process anything you want to say ... so just walk away ... stop visiting the thread (not the forum) and don't check for replies ... let them continue with their fangiri ...

I hate the fact that a group of people can just gang up and stifle someone's freedom of speech ... but for every extreme fan you will find here on IF, you will find another person you would love to discuss with ...

Don't let this get you down and enjoy your time here by visiting the nicer forums ...

Thank you very much for your reply 😊

I finally stopped responding to the crazy fans. Instead I notified some people in the IF administration. I don't know if anything will be done on a moderator or an administrator's behalf. I just told them because cyber bullying is important to fight since no one deserves to be disrespected and treated like that just for voicing an opinion over a TV show.

u get blullies in every walk of life and usually bullies are very insecure lot. they r always irrational becuase they do not have any capability to understand any1s logic. walking away is the only solution.

but the mods dont do anything abt it
its being highlighted when somehting wrong is happenin with u = use the report button instead of lashing out and the reports are being dutifully ignored as well
doesnt it encourage bullying if we walk away
