Kareena Kapoor on her heroes - Page 7

See I disgree with such strict rules. Because on a public forum, you are BOUND to disagree, and BOUND to debate. In debates, you can often use sarcasm to make someone else see a point. Which is what Lily was trying to do. I dont know if the supposed member SAW it, but I'm sure we all had a laugh and saw her point.

Lily, Come back. Its no fun without you. You are the Rock Star here. ⭐️

I find it really witty.

I mean, with all due respect to the mods, you cant be parents to all the members here. If certain members post something ridiculous, others will get riled up and react. But what ends up happenignis, that those same members start something up, and then end up being protected by the mods. Sure, they also get "a warning". But in teh process, now we have faced with such strict rules, that now, even before getting into the debate, we're restricted.

I think the line should be drawn if inappropriate language is used, or a member directly bashses another. But being sarcastic towards a post shoudltn be considered rule breaking.

@Simranji, you do a great job of moderating the forum! I really mean it! And once again, what I wrote was not at all directed towards you! I can totally understand where you are coming from! (I certainly do not send whining PM's to other members and mods! That is such a junior school attitude!😆) Edited by poppy2009 - 13 years ago

And Simranji you too. You cannot stop moderating. We want you here as much as we want Lily here. 😊

I have to leave now.

Why is it that the wrong members end up taking offense? Its happened before that the one who seems to start the problem remains unaffected.

Ok last time. It was not a warning, it was only a request. We have not gone after any of you for sarcasm. I only requested that sarcasm that borderlines into something else be avoided. I have asked members before too, but via PMs.

I have apologized to Lily if she took it wrongly. It was not to be taken as a warning. I only wanted this topic to not be closed, so only requested.

Perhaps moderating is not my cup of tea, sigh.


Lastly, we look at posts from a moderating perspective, and the amount of reports that have been done on one post. I did not step in b/c there was one reported post....some others voiced that this will unnecessarily get the topic closed ji. So I stepped in to avoid it from getting closed. More than 2 members thought it was trying to provoke.

Sarcasm is subjective.

KatForeva relax dont take peoples comment to personally 🤗 

~*simran*~ please dont say that your one of the best mods 🤗 

people perceive things differently I don't see anything wrong in you asking for people to stop provoking fights sarcasm mostly leads to that it depends on how people take it unfortunately here it was taking in a negative way 

I agree with Simran on this one - It gets a little annoying when members (and I'M NOT saying Lili) but just members in general make these indirect digs at other members - and then people complain that we don't really do anything. I don't think it's a big secret that all we want is for everyone to respect one another and be cooperative.
