I agree with what you are saying. I guess we need to define personal life better.

How about no bringing in family members into the discussions?

Or we should have actor picture galleries which are maintained by the fans. So basically a SJ picture gallery where all SJ pictures and their discussions go.

Yes it bring down forum activity, but is IF rank the be all for the enjoyment of the show?

Now di bringing of no family members is a very good suggestion but we also know that members or few MIDs just love to fight !

Discussing someone's personal life/love life especially Karan's will always turn ugly no matter what. But if someone wants to just discuss it without offending anyone, can we have a seperate gossip thread.

I think that what needs to happen is two fold. There are some suggestions that need to pass on to site Admins, since IF will benefit from systemic changes.

Then there are some rules/changes that need to enforced into the QH forum.

Systemic changes:

1. MIDs IP should be banned. Period. I understand that some people need multiple IDs for AT and CC or NL related works. But offenders who make MIDs because their previous IDs have been banned, need to tackled more strictly.

2. Topic Makers should be given more power to control the course of their threads. I suggest a "Report & Hide" button. Basically, it allows the TM to report as well as hide a post from their thread until the DTs look into it and decide if it should be made visible or permanently deleted.

This works similar to the reporting but the main advantage is that the offending post can be made invisible so that no one can respond to it.

If it is hard to limit this to TM, give people with higher member levels access to this button. I suggest a Dazzler or higher or maybe even a sizzler or higher. These people have been around for a while and generally speaking are more "IF" mature.

QH changes:

1. I don't think having generic Karan thread is the solution. There need to be a few: a KaBhi thread, a All things Karan in QH (I believe it exists), a trending thread, etc.

This way the single thread does not become too cluttered too fast.

2. All pictures should go into the the picture gallery no matter what. Current as well as ex cast. If threads are created for these, they should be closed and deleted. This is the only way to keep the battle on the pictures controlled.

3. Someone suggested SBB/SBS team like the NL team or WU team. There always multiple posts on this topic and one or more turn ugly. An index on the first page with only a fixed number of people allowed to post the WU /video links will help. After experimenting here, maybe a systemic rule for this. Coolbie, viewbie, newsbie😉😆

4. only recent (less than 1 week old) articles can be posted on the forum. Everything else can go to a common articles thread.

5. Personal life discussions not allowed

6. Bringing family members into a discussion not allowed.

7. Calling people (actors and members) names not allowed.

8. FF should remain here unless:

- writer wants it moved

- forum is closed

-FF/SS was completed over a month or so ago.

This will keep current stories here and easy to access.

9. Talking about past shows and actions not allowed. Discuss QH and QH related things only.

10. Current and updated indexes of VMs, FFs, SSs be maintained and made easily accessible.

11. No more than 3 quoting. Allow us to report those who use more than that. The pages become exceedingly long and quoting only makes the fights worse. Plus quoting is used for spamming.

12. I have found that there are certain members who make it a point to counter certain other members no matter what. This behavior needs to be curtailed. It gets annoying to be attacked and targeted for no apparent reason. Can this be handled?

13. Some threads have been closed in the past coz they "may" turn ugly. I know of threads where people were maturely discussing something, but people who did not like it (stalkers) reported and got it closed. I feel this is wrong. As long as people are peacefully discussing, they should be allowed to. If you have a problem, stay out of it.

14. Someone said, no sarcastic commenting. Well, it depends on how you define sarcasm. I can honestly tell, that I depend on sarcasm more often than not even in my day to day life. Are people in real life offended? no. Problem comes in when people try to take a normal comment and read it with closed minds and try to read between the lines. Is this person trying to make an underhanded comment? Example would be a recent picture of KSG that was posted a few times. The first thing that popped in my mind was Jesus Christ. The second thing was Evan Almighty. Coz the looks was uncanningly similar. Now I don't think these were sarcastic comments. I personally used it as a compliment, but a few users tried their best to contort these comments and start a fight.

15. Another problem I have noticed is some TMs start a topic with the very thought of starting trouble. They will say things that will easily rile up people and then end the post with a "I don't mean to cause trouble" or "no offense meant". Honestly, these threads should be reported and closed as soon as they open.

Honestly, besides, systemic and forum changes, what we need the most is "ATTITUDE CHANGES". Each member needs to mature up and realize that even though we are all "unknown" here, after a while your attitude makes u known. We may not your real life identity, but your attitude does define your "internet" identity and you can be likes/disliked/hated based on that.

Thanks

ps: Sorry for the long long long essay. But I am a thinking person who loves to put forth her opinions.

pps I will post link to this essay on page 14

Well said rivs!

I'm not going through the whole thread now, so yeah.

@ Chahanya agree withwhat you say :)

1. Any personal life related topics to any of the actors should strictly not be allowed.

2. People who do not want Karan related posts as he is no longer a part of the show is not right; He has been a part of the show for 1 + year

3. There should be a MAIN Thread : All things related to Karan Singh Grover; it will automatically help all the people who want to post about Karan - personal or professional.

4. I know we all get very excited about QH entertainment segments and articles and we all want to tell everyone on the forum but Why not make a team like the NL and the members take turn posting all things related; like on one SBB/SBS segment we have 3 - 4 threads made

5. Fan wars become very dirty; esp I don't like where it is said iske fans keep away because it is this actor ka post; everyone has the right to comment n express their views; but it should be done in a decent manner; It becomes too much i guess for the DT to come n close the thread so as members we should refrain from stooping low n getting dirty

Thank you so much for asking forum members for our suggestions😃

Oh I have another thing to add -

Members should be allowed to express their preference over actors without it getting nasty, of course. The other day a poster very politely stated that she preferred one actor over the other and immediately a certain group of people jumped in mocking her opinion. I do not think this should be allowed.

Similar with the mohit/vikrant issue - everybody has their favourites and one should be allowed to express that and even say one is better without somebody getting offended. We are not 5 year olds that we should feel hurt that the entire world doesn't agree or subscribe to our opinion or choice, right?

As I said previously, a lot of this could be resolved if topic makers were allowed some privilege to ensure that their topics aren't spammed with unrelated opinions or comments with the express purpose to rile.

This is a much needed effort to bring sanity and some buzz back to this forum .

Do not have much time to read all posts here but here are my few cents ...

1.No personal life comments should be allowed.
2. NO BASHING ..to me this is a big NO
3.Healthy criticism of actors past and present is OK by me. Am totally against abusing any actor .There is always a polite and constructive means of putting across your viewpoint.
4.Fans of any actor should not rush in and bash if some views are being expressed that do not match theirs. This is a democratic forum and everyone should be allowed their say as long as it is polite.
5. Karan can not and should not be wiped away as he was the life of QH for so long. His exit was too sudden for his fans to accept . They too should be given space here to share their angst and appreciation of his work.I feel whenever an attempt is made to start a TM to do this some people rush in to create a war zone so Mods will close the TM . This is unfair. Karan needs his space on this forum and we his supporters should not run like fugitives to speak of him.

Thank you for the effort to share views and make this a democratic but polite forum. We should steer clear of creating the unruly Lok Sabha atmosphere here and co-exist harmoniously .This has been my refrain even before Karan quit .

Well this forum has become quiet bland and i only come here for ffs so as long as ffs are in the forum i dont care what happens other than that.

Just ban NKapoor's IP address is all I ask.
