Hi Parichay-ians,

While going through the issues on the forum, I realized that we all have a different viewpoint on name calling. Calling a character dumb, characterless, idiotic, looser, vamp etc. does not gel with some, however, some are okay with it. Some argue that it's opinion and others say its instigation.

So, I'm opening the floor to you, do you think name calling should be allowed? If so, to what extent?

This thread will remain open til Saturday evening. All views will be taken into consideration before making the final call.

Over to you,
GK

For me Its really Okay Gur...And we can't say Its Bashing.. Bcz In funny tone or just for little bit fun or Even to show anger towards the Story. Members normally used such Words Which u mentioned Gur..
But Here on this Forum.. There is one More Thing Now..which is Really Important..that u comes to know abt itt as well.. and that is Intentions of members... Yes.. if somone intentionally using such words to Hurt other member feelings..then its should be counted.. and Most of us really knws abt those members..
otherwise for me..Its really okay..if someone is using such words for Fun purpose or to show anger even towards the character..But If member is really creating topic again and again just To mention such words against any particular character or Posting Posts again n again then his/her intentions should be counted..bcz there is a limit of Frustration and anger.. AFTER ALL we all are much mature to understand Characters and Actors Difference..
So for me this Should be allow..but again i will say..Intentions should be counted.

Gk , I've been silent about the problems in the forum , be it name calling or taking dig @ other members ! But i cannot take this more! while writing i may go off topic , feel free to edit my comment if you consider my post is irrelevant !

First of all , about name calling , i think name calling is a normal thing on a forum specially for negative characters ! I remember long ago we were allowed to call Richa with a name( u can see the post on one of previous EDT ) coz all know Richa is a negative character , they wont mind this name calling , but few weeks ago , suddenly this has become an issue and people were said to not to call Richa with those names ! i fail to understand why and from where this sudden concern for Richa has come 😕? having said this i would like to mention I've no problem with people wanting to Call or not wanting to call Richa with such names !

Secondly , about other characters name calling is not considered as bashing if its done in humor ! But people get irritated when positive character are called with such words , specially when we can see the intention behind the name calling . If a member u don't like is a fan or has liking for a actor / character, You just start to call the person with other names, and encourages other members to do the same ! how can people be silent when the motive is crystel clear ?

In My opinion , if we want name calling to be allowed , it should be done ONLY if the WHOLE forum agrees, not because one of fan group wants this or some of my friends and me like to call a character with such words !

Name calling is not the only problem in the forum , people often take dig @ other members while posting ! well i should not talk about this !

But seriously , having a hectic day in office / college / Uni , then come to the forum only to see posts that keeps on irritating you , indirectly points fingers @ you, its NOT worth coming to the forum. And many members have quit the forum because of this !

All i ask is a forum for everyone ! A forum that belongs to each and every members who comes here ! A forum with Fair judgment ! Each and very threads ( important ones ) should belong to all , no thread ( except special ones ) should NOT be like a private property ! important thread / events whatever it is , it should be done with a UNBIASED manner !

Characters are a figment of someone's imagination. If some people find certain characters romantic, sexy, beautiful, many others are likely to find the same characters ugly, despicable & stupid.
If I find Kunal or Siddhi or any other character stupid or ugly, should I take offense to someone calling them sexy or wonderful?
It's an open forum, I see no reason why fictional characters should dealt with dainty fingers.

If there is need to accord respect, it should be amongst real people in their dealings with each other.

If anything should be controlled & stopped, it is the derisive, unnecessarily provocative posts that portray an unhealthy, blinkered, obsessive view of certain characters.

name calling is fine...and we should do it in humour and funny way...and it brings fun into the post as well vent up our frustrations in a happy way...its more on sharing happiness

i don't mind name calling...but a member should set a limits...he/she should not open a post to hurt the actors/actress fans feelings...or bashed the actor/actress...

we all should discuss ina fun and healthy way...not hurting someone's feelings...

calling a negative character like richa creature...anaconda...vamp...or C-family clowns...i feel its no wrong at all...it makes the post funny as well as entertaining...

even in parichay...seema have called richa chudail...siddhi have called richa chudail...even kunal have done many name callings...currently richa have called siddhi manhoos...even the show itself deals alot of name calling...and it doesn't hurt anyone's feelings...it make all more fun and entertaining...why can't we...

i opted a yes for name calling...but members should draw a certain limits...not to hurt members feelings...especiall opening a post to just criticize the character...

as for calling a character the word characterless...well that depends on situation...but i hate anyone calling siddhi characterless...or kunal characterless...becos we all know they have a reason for it...but calling characterless for both this characters is hurting me...but using the words characterless depends on situations...such words only suits Richa Thakral and some extend Raveena...

GK, Using a Vamp word for the lead should not be allowed.

Secondly, if you dont agree with someone's viewpoint than please dont criticize them. Comments like below are instigating. You cannot make fun of members or take personal dig.

"Siddhi/Kunal fans have not watched any daily soaps before"
"Siddhi/Kunal fans are Biased" Opening a thread purposely to prove that.

Okay with name calling such as Looser, Fool, Idiot, Wierdo (But keep in mind if someone is using it they should not feel offended when their fav cast is being called names by others.

But not with Leech, Witcha, Lizard, Vamp for a female Lead. Characterless Men/women for leads. Or associating them with animals.

Also about Accent and looks fun should not be made. Abhay was Called Below average looking guy, and Siddhi's accent is constantly made fun of.

thanks

Salman

Reserved, Oh boy I have lot to say on this and that too with so may examples.

Will edit it later, but thing I want to mention that name calling to the character is still okay to certain extent, but name calling for the fellow members shouldn't be allowed at any cost because we come here to discuss the show and not the fellow members. I can even provide many screen shots where members of this forum have made so much fun of the fellow members and they are still doing it.

While abusing fellow member must remember if name calling to their favorite actors offend them so much then how how awful people must feel when they are abused or targeted.

Will write much more later. But thank you so much for this thread Gur because I have so much to say here.

Hi Gur
Its very nice of you to seek our opinions but honestly you should write your own SOPs for you are going to be flooded with thousands of replies from the forum members which will lead to more confusion, contradictions and mayhem. Each of us have different set of views and opinions. What is right in my opinion, may be deemed wrong with another. Hence, to avoid further misunderstanding, best you decide on you own with PARICHAY DEV. team members to come up with the SOP.
My suggestion, is that if you need to, at your own discretion, consult professionals, even legal, related to this field and set up the standards, ethics, decorum, rules, penalties , warnings , and termination of account...thing like this and more .Be fair to everyone.
One more thing, we see Parichay Dev Team as the monitoring authority on this forum. Hence, the members of this team should not engage in discussion in any posts or thread . This is to avoid any unwarranted speculation on values such as intergrity and trust. And also to draw the line clearly between moderators and members. In a nutshell, regret to say, there should not be any buddy relationship so as not to cross the lines.
The purpose of this review is to bring peace, harmony and healthy discussions.
