I know you guys are angry about this, but honestly speaking a public forum also has it's bounds. You can't go around calling Anjali "sick," "Pooja ki thaali wali." or even the CVs anything like that. The current track has everyone upset, but the story has to keep on moving forward. The CVs can't just show ArHi moments and ArHi's wedding. There has to be other things in the show to keep it moving and interesting.

Every forum has a different DT therefore the set of rules vary but their underlying meaning is the same - no bashing will be tolerated. To express your opinion by constructively criticizing the show is acceptable but to say uncalled things to the cast or the CVs, will never be accepted on any forum.

You are saying that it's not their home but many of us treat India-Forums like our home. We've been on this forum for more than 5 years or something, so keeping that in mind, we don't like it either when we have to close threads that could have been structured well and could have been a great discussion thread. But when members start either bashing each other or the cast/CVs and throw insults at them, that's when the thread is closed and a note is put up there. And there is a huge crowd on this forum who aren't over the age of 15, so do you really want them to be going around reading posts that will only instigate the wrong things in their young minds? No, right? 😊

And I hope you had PMed the IPKKND forum DT regarding this, because they are prompt with their replies and will look into your thread if it was closed without a valid reason.

PS: I'm not trying to be offensive, so please don't mind. 😳

Well, you're right to some extent!
But we also make fun of other characters... and how's that offensive?
We also make fun of dadi and shyam!! 😕
If we call Anjali "pooja ki thali wali"... is that offensive? 😕
Fun is Fun!!
Criticizing Anjali doesn't mean we're bashing Daljeet! 😲
And ... I don't know... I want to express my frustrations in posts... but I'm afraid to say anything because the post's going to be closed! 😭
I don't feel free to share my opinions anymore!
Sigh.

Sorry to butt in Flora -- But there is NOTHING right about what this person is saying.

People who want to suppress what others want to say always come up with their own reasons to justify their crap.

This post is a justification of VIOLATION of the law of the land in the US and EU. It may not be in India and Pakistan or some places in SE asia where people are used to being told "what they can say and what they cannot".

This if stretched is a very very serious issue -- it is about a silly daily Indian SOAP so no one wants to really drag it to court but if that is done, the forum will be shut down for at least the North American and EU people because they will be violating so many laws.

Just some reality here -- this is fun and games till someone takes offence to being told "what to say" -- stupid crap to start with.

Thankyou for understanding.
Dadi and Shyaam are negative characters of some sort and you will notice that as soon as there is a thread that is bashing the two and not constructive criticism, the thread is closed down. Calling Shyaam Snake-wa is accepted because he is a negative character but only to a point that in normal threads, it's not used in the context of Abhaas being mentioned as the snake-wa. Dadi is a recent addition so I don't know much about her and the posts regarding her.

And also, the posts regarding Anjali weren't just pointing towards her it was Dajleet who was bashed constantly. "Daljeet had signed up this negotiation that if she wasn't given focus then she would quit IPKKND." I mean, statements like these - how did the TM know? Is Daljeet best friends with them and she called them up late at night and told them how she felt? No, right - these are all baseless and pointless posts that have to be closed down to show the other members that no such posts will be accepted.

You shouldn't feel like you can't express your opinion. There's a IPKKND Frustration/Complaints Thread #2

It's the 2nd thread, which means member use this ALL the time. If you have any complaints or things to say that you do know will be argumentative by other members and will turn into something that won't be pleasant for anyone then you should post it in the link I have given above. It will get it off your back and you won't exactly be under the risk of WL increasing. 😳😳[

/QUOTE]

So you answered my questions already by talking about how calling Shyam Snakewa was acceptable because you thought he was "negative" character!

So Daljeet today with all her selfishness and betrayal is NOT negative per your views and everyone around the world should live by your standards!

Before you say "yes it is our forum" -- well it is NOT because it is public and your site makes money because of the NUMBER OF SUBSCRIBERS you claim -- which is US -- so, you cannot suppress our right to disagree and start talking as if you guys are on some supreme mission to protect people!

This is just an excuse to start curbing what people can say. Nothing you say can justify this. Neither legally nor morally!

I agree with u!
I live in US and never face this kind of restriction before...
and websites are not bound to any country territory!
So we should feel free to express our thoughts about the show and characters!
And that's what the forum is for, right?
I feel suffocated before typing each and every word here.
That's sad.
IF was fun for me 2 days ago.
But it doesn't seem to be anymore!
Anything we'd say about Anjali, the topic will be closed. Even posts on DB's profile were deleted!
Some posts were not even attacking her but criticizing Anjali!
I must say... I feel an awkward silence in the forum. I don't know if anyone else has noticed or not.
Maximum posts are now OS/FF or silly predictions about the future track.
No more opinions / criticisms about the track/ characters!
