Well ..thank you to those who agree :)

I notice the post I was really chagrined with has finally been taken off ! But a bit late as the damage has already been done .

The other thing I notice is that my complaint received proportionately fewer likes and comments in support as opposed to the response to the other post !!!!!

I remain deeply concerned about youngsters who devote such valuable time indulging in procrastination that may have far reaching influence on their lives as well as the lives of the actors they malign !

i have no issue with freedom of speech ..in fact have baked on it to post this thread ! But in this case this freedom is not used just to speak but to ruin lives and destroy the peace of mind of many concerned . This freedom can be gifted to people who can come forward with their true IDs and not shoot from behind veils !

There is no doubt in my mind that here the freedom is being grossly misused !

@delena90 ...maybe some fiction is well written and creative BUT there are others that should be censored and I am surprised how they escape the censors eyes . Also a surfeit of such fiction takes away from review of the serial ..and this may be the real reason we are on this forum I felt .

The said youngsters are doing perfectly fine. I wish we folks at IF had the power to have an affect on the said actors life or for that matter anybodys. The truth of the matter is that we don't matter. Also I believe that after 5000 plus posts that is a true ID. I personally know that person. She has a great sense of humor, is loved by all and Yes I love her a lot. I wish her all the best in life. The said person will one day have far reaching effects ... because she is awesome with an amazing sense of Humor and Sarcasm.
And I don't think that anyone of us have a right to generalize and comment on a particular member. Aren't we doing the same thing ??

So she has the right to put down someone she doesn't even know on a personal level and demean him and his wife publicly?

We don't have a right to comment on a member but fans have all the right to intrude a celebs personal space and abuse them in every way possible.

If you're referring to the post that I think you are then it was a joke but like always things got out of hand 😆Also I think kids are subjected to more scandalous things than a rated fan fiction and heck they're on the internet they don't need IF for that. It's sweet that you're concerned but at the end of the day it's not our choice to make.

When the said celebrities "private" lives are out for grabs in media- either by their own confession or their behavior or just plain news, it does not remain private anymore.
I may be wrong, but in my 8 years almost 9, as a married woman and many more years as an adult and someone in a relationship, I know for sure that excessive PDA in media by one person only screams insecurity in the relationship. Its called "marking your territory".

Its obvious I have touched prickly nerves !!!!
5000 posts do not a true ID make ! Wish everyone here the best and really hope they make a great impact in their future lives ...but pray that it is a positive impact . Reading M&B is not really the greatest of achievements .

IF has posted forum rules ...but not on the serial Page ...but the celebrity Page :

India Forums does not permit posting of any content or material which is or can be construed as being

  • violative of anothers Intellectual Property
  • In order to control spam one cannot make posts within 30mins and if you are the last poster then simply edit your last post as this is basically for feedback to the actor and not forum

Does this give us the freedom to bash celebrities on the serial space ? I would think not !


The very fact that the post was deleted shows that the brief was exceeded .


You are right that it is not for us but the parents to keep a check on their children's activities . But how would the parents even know it is their kid who is making these posts if their child is writing under a pseudonym ?Remove the camouflage and walk the talk ! Then all your wit will be much appreciated .

The topic wasn't targeted at a particular member. It was for all who were part of that discussion which turned very ugly and distasteful. Likes and dislikes are personal but the choice of words were awful.

I refrained from commenting here - but I was forced to when I saw certain remarks made -
Del/ Ambu/ Mamta - you make good points.
Mamta - I am a parent too. I am more concerned about what my kids are watching on TV or the songs they hear in passing and the impact it has on their innocent minds than what they will read on IF or another forum when they grow up. I would hope to control their internet access, and more importantly guide them but unfortunately we live in a world today that has way more means of corrupting human brains than we can control. As parents. As individuals. I don't know which FFs you refer. I do not read mature content on the forums.

About maligning actors - I don't think discussing something that is public knowledge i.e. his/her past relationships is maligning him. Speculating about their current relationships or joking about it, may or may not malign them, but there is never fire without a spark.

I agree with you Mamta, I've been on the forum since ages, but my posting became far lesser over years when I realized how any forum on this portal, whether QH or other shows, love going derogatory and demean a LOT of actors and the fellow members too.. Its not just one section, there are various fans who go personal and pass really disgusting comments on the name of having fun. I don't like that honestly and its really not about a particular actor, this is in general an extremely distasteful thing to do.

As for explicit fiction. That is a very subjective issue, the people who venture on to this forum have to be in their right minds to do that, or else they wouldn't come here. There are books, there are movies, there are various such means through which such fiction reaches readers and viewers and if it has to reach a really young mind, it can through other means as well. I think a stop or control on that would be hypocritical.

And being on IF is an achievement?!? Either way you look at it - they are both trash.

And if the parents are not monitoring their "young" children's usage of Internet then that is their problem to bear and not ours. Speaking of po*nography a if kids wanted to watch/read it I am sure they know where to go - IF is the least likely place to look for that.
