Go on Moderators! Ban Everyone! - Page 9

Calling someone ga* or bas**** or As***** is bad. But equally bad where someone curses India or makes a rude remark about our motherland ? Isn't it ?

Or you think personal interests should be always higher than national interests ??

Unfortunately, people have escaped even after making crude remarks about our motherland ....

But the axe falls on people who make a response to these so called "creeps" ....

The process is weird ... Isn't it ??

"Sarcasm as a way of posting is fine, within limits. In a public forum, we cater to a whole community and not a select few members. You cannot hurt or attack members and be sarcastic to anyone. Everyone is here because they want to come here. They dont come here to get bashed or attacked or insulted."

problem:

- contradictions?
- we are back to this now? we have master's in Lit and Psychology to understand how something has been written and whether it shld hurt someone or not?
- i thought it was abuses and "hate" issues like race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, religion..

- yaar, comedians occasionally slip up with humor and saracsm that they use, if they keep getting warnings every time, they'd be run out immediately

- most forums require you to sign that you are of certain age=> shows maturity of mind and expression;

- for the person on the other side of the argument here, i know from personal tit-for-tat that her basic understanding of grammar and vocab is so limited that it will be bound to create misunderstandings. eg. she's never heard of the word "BLEAK".
- to get down to this person's level means having a forum devoid of anything sensible (my opinion of course), so is that what we want.


solution

- keep it simple to the abuses and "hate" issues
- make it clear to everyone
- implement consistently and fairly for evryone
- separate section for folks who have very fragile personalities;

my quik 2-cents. have to run now

Thanks Ad. I am not going to quote you word by word, save and except to say the following

If anyone here sees any post where anyone is called a bad word, please pm a Mod who is online. Action will be taken.

The words were not intended as an insult or anything. Please do not read more into it than required.

Message to all. If any of you spot a post where profanity is used, please report the post and pm a Mod who is online.

Please give us the posts or the names of the posts. Actions will be taken.

Agreed, no one can insult teh motherland. We dont tolerate it either.

No one has escaped yet.

As you rightly said, we are a team and we stand up together as a team. But our team is not just the Development Team. At India Forums, we beleive that you, AD, Qwest, skud, seema, and everyone else who is on this post and who is a member of this forum are a TEAM. Thats how big or small our team is.

What is your query. Why was AD banned. We have posted it here. Use of profanity.

Why the Tag. Becos that is our standard procedure. If a member is banned and then unbanned, we leave a tag for all our Development Team members, so that they know that appropriate action has been taken.

Priya, i think one thing is common between all of u gathered here at this thread except for mods, and that is we want answers but answers from the mod in question. if u do something and believe u did right, then stand up for it. Btw this was for that mod. Priya i reall respect u and bhaskar and i think it is wrong that u have to answer for someone else's actions thats all. are not entitled to even a chat with the person that disrupted our IF life so completely??

The best way out from such a situation is to contact a Mod or GM who is online then and ask them to take action. Instead of taking the stick in your own hands.

Priya now that u r here, i would request u to plzz take some time out and check out the posts made by mohinis. i am not attacking her mind u, but her posts have been getting out of hand for the past few days.

Send us the links. We'll surely look into that too.

Please do send us the Links. We will definitely look into all of them.

Please pm them to Bhaskar and me.

So, is it ok to call your compatriot a terrorist? Or to say "nari ho nari ki taraah raho" (you are a woman, behave like one)? If no, then I would like to know what actions have been taken against the member who wrote this about me, and believe me it wasn't a joke.

Also, I have noticed people logging with real profane names. How is that acceptable? It hurts my sensibilities to read a username that contains a profanity. Why should I be subjected to it? Why isn't it refused at the onset?

I have read more profanities and vile stuff on this forum than anywhere else in my life (and I do read a lot). Suffice to say, the majority wasn't in Abhilash's post; it was all over the forum, in several other people's post. Yet, he gets the short end of the stick.

I suggest more transparency. If you can have that very essential piece of info next to Abhilash's name, then you can very well show the warning meter of every member who breaks the rules. That way everyone will know who's being reprimanded, and no doubts will be cast on the moderators' sense of fairness.
