A sincere request...

And so the vomit worthy pankha wars never end.

And I am just getting onto the forum and I see these posts and think, "If everyone's agreeing and trying to battle it out, then why in the world would people start to fight in the first place?"

And then I remember, oh right! This is not a forum but a hub, of 2 Fandoms, and a 3rd one uniting up. Whereas, one Fandom is for VD, the other for DD and then one, for DVD. I was like, wow. Alright. I get the point. Both Fandoms love their actors and characters and can't stand anything bad being said, or written about them. Alright, fine, that's accepted and then there is the third Fandom, DVD, who try to bring out the neutral point of view and so far, you guys are my favourites!🤗

Am I mad at whatever happened the past 4 days?

Yes.

Can you guys fix it?

No.

So where is the problem? The problem is both DD and VD Fandoms are trying to get used to each other. And that's perfectly alright. If one member posts a topic about your Fandom favourite not being that great, so what? Does it make your love, your respect for that favourite any less? Does it even make a difference to the actor themselves? Does it make anything feel any better by bashing, criticizing each other's Fandom's, your trust in that Fandom, your loyalty to that Fandom? Does it?

And do you guys REALLY have to jump at each other's throats when the members from the other Fandom disagree with you to the point that you guys HAVE to bash them, their Favourite and compare them with yours and expect everyone to get along?

If there is a topic that you guys don't like, don't agree with and it has something against your favourites, ignore it! I know as impossible as it for you guys to do that, as impossible it is for you guys to listen, abide by the rules, ignore the post. Sure, if you want to defend your favourite, do it but do it in a mature manner. Making a sarcastic remark and indication towards members and actors doesn't help the case.

Allowed: "I don't agree with you, because I think __ is ___.

Not Allowed: Just because you're ___ fan, you think this way.

I mean seriously? Is it needed?

When I was first handed this forum, I told myself that I'll maintain my distance with the members and do the needful, take care of bashers and close topics. And I wanted to. Because I didn't know you guys, so coming here was a new territory. But alas, I ended up actually liking you guys [all of you guys] and enjoying the Forum, more than I thought I would. I thought that by keeping a distance, it would be easier to do my job, easier to not get involved, easier to not have feelings when I have to be strict, easier to not care. But I do. And trust me, I try my best to let things slide, but if you guys are gonna take advantage on that, then shame on me. Shame on my feelings. Shame on my trust.

And have you guys ever thought, that you guys can actually make someone hate a celebrity with all your posts? Example, I like DD, and I like VD but seeing all the ridiculous fights, I almost started hating DD and VD as RK and MB because I love the characters, but all these unnecessary fights have made it impossible to enjoy the show and discuss about it when I have to come on the forum, do my job as a Moderator and clean up all the mess which you guys leave. Please beware of the consequences and reactions because Fans have a huge impact on the Celeb and their fans.

Have you guys ever thought that if you guys didn't fight, then there would not be a need for 'peace' posts anyways?

Think about it.

And just because someone criticizes your favourite, and it's not you, the fan of that actor doing the criticizing, and it's the fan of another celeb, DOES NOT mean you have to bash them, does not mean they are saying that their celeb is better. Learn to compromise. Not react.

If this continues to grow up, don't make me make a rule that VD fans can't comment on MB, or DD and DD fans can't comment on RK and VD because I promise, I swear, I will. Don't make this forum into 2 Fandoms where I have to draw the line.

Guys, what's more important than members who don't agree with you is the number of members who do agree with you and come to your defense, the defense of your favourite, even though they are a fan of the other.

Many members have left the forum, are leaving the forum, or are planning to leave the forum, and I honestly don't blame them. 🤗 The fights are not worth it and honestly, it's better to just enjoy the show at home then come onto a forum where the Fandoms of the 2 can't live together.

Remember, the Forum is what you guys make it out to be. Don't expect your celeb to be respected, your thoughts, your opinions, your actions, be respected if you, yourself can't respect others thoughts, actions and opinions.

And now, as I am writing, I am thinking, is there even a point for this topic, because in the end, no one's gonna listen and it's gonna start all over again, the fights, the apologies.
