Starplus: Viewer FEEDBACK is BASHING?????? - Page 5

Channels actually lap up feedback of any kind - good or bad! Because their viewers are engaged in their product. I used to watch a serial called Kasam Se sometime back and I had a friend who worked with Zee - they used to get ALOT of mails (MOST if not all at one point (the track where the sister (Pia) was after her brother-in-law) was very critical of the show) and he used to say that yes it can get irritating when the negativity is so overwhelming but if they didn't know the unhappiness existed they wouldn't know how and where to correct their error. After all, they are in the business of garnering TRPs.

Excuse me? "You guys are unbelivable?" Was that directed towards me?

FOR THE RECORD, by no means am I saying that abusive language is acceptable. I am saying that negative feedback is easily construed as bashing. Negative feedback and bashing unfortunately tend to go hand in hand and there is a very thin line between the same.

Abusive language such as "W*F" or "I HATE YOU" and such language is bashing no doubt! But if someone is voicing their dissatisfaction about something why is that dismissed as "bashing"?

It's their story yes, but the viewers are the one buying their story. They can't sell a product if the consumers don't want to buy it.

From the way you have written your post, I can consider that as "bashing" as well.

Very True! People should give their feedback.. It only benefits the show... But refrain from using abusive language in their posts or whilst stating their opinions. 😳

Well i really hope the error gets corrected. I have had people on this forum, once someone who said he is one of the writers of IPK, bash me badly on India Forum - I reported and the post was deleted. What about bashing your fans indiscriminately, even the ones who did not send abusive mails, is that justified ?

I think what you're trying to say Mahi is that respect is a two way street. Respect from both the makers and the fans. It shouldn't be a "it's our baby so we know what to do leave us alone" type of attitude and fans obvioulsy should be allowed to voice their dissatisfaction without it being considered as bashing.

What Mr. Hedge said on Twitter could be considered as him "bashing" the fans with his "take it or leave it" attitude. In fact, I suspect this is one of the reason why some handful of fans have lashed out using abusive language (I'm not saying it's okay, I'm saying I suspect it to be a root cause in the so called personal attacks).

I find it to be quite hypocritical actually when no one complains about getting PRAISES but almost always crib about criticism. Life is a two way street - it's certainly not one way.

When the show was GOOD, actually GOOD and TRPs were rocking the charts and viewer feedback was positive and full of praises, NO ONE had any issues obviously and we are all eagerly waiting for this phase to pass. BUT it can only pass if there is RESPECT from both sides of the coin - the makers and the viewers! We as viewers are very passionate about the show but the makers SHOULD not dismiss our viewers simply because it is "THEIR BABY" and "KNOW THEIR JOB"

With all due respect, I don't doubt that they "know" their job; but their "sense" of their "job" seems to be blurred and so I humbly request them to take the strong dislike for the current "didi" track as the viewers genuine feedback and not as "bashing"

OK then! We will continue to quibble over the language that needs to be used and who needs to say what and become the "enforcers" -- what next "go house to house" and check who is writing these comments?
