Rules & Regulations


Personal lives & Non Balika Vadhu Forum Topics - This section is only intended for the discussion of the show Balika Vadhu and topics related to it. Any topics or posts about the personal lives of the actors or makers outside the show will NOT be allowed unless it has a clear and direct relationship to the show. Any topics or posts judging or commenting on the personal life of the people who play the characters will not be allowed.

Derogatory name calling/bashing/personal attacks - Making any personal attacks or derogatory names calling against members, actors, characters or Creative's is NOT acceptable. Please know the difference between bashing and criticism. A critic is one who discusses things in perspective, never loses objectivity and states things in a logical and constructive way. But a basher is one, who states the points a bit too heavily such that, it no longer looks like criticism but looks like a total attack. Dislike, criticism, disagreement or contradiction are not considered bashing. Avoid making posts that are abusive, derogatory, insulting or sarcastic enough to affect the sentiment of another member. Such posts will be dealt with very strictly.

No Slangs/Swear words/Curses/ Profanity in Posts - This is a family forum where we have members from 13 years of age to 70+ years visiting. So irrespective of how angry or how frustrated you are, you will not use swear words, curses, slang's or profanity. Anyone found doing so will face serious action.

Telling others what to do -It would be appreciated if members stop preaching on the forum. Let the moderators decide what is needed on this forum and what is not or what one member is allowed to do or not. You cannot stop someone from posting in any topic. Do not become a moral police on the forum.

Bringing physical attributes into discussion - Many have been found to do the same at time even indirectly. Such negative posts are strict NO. Anyone now onwards if found making negative posts on physical appearances of a character/actor will face strict action, even indirect mention of the matter will NOT be entertained.

Topics/Polls of Comparison - Comparison topics/polls are NOT allowed. Keep comparison topics away from the section. They are best place for battlefield. Topics like  'Who is better suited for the role' or 'Which show is better' or 'Who looks good' etc. Such topics will be closed down.

No thread on Dev Team Working - No threads shall be opened criticizing the functioning of the Dev Team. If you have any issues contact the section Dev Team by PM and sort it out but do not create a scene by starting a thread here.

Report Button - If anyone sees any comment/thread which is offending posted by someone, you will NOT take law into your own hands to teach a lesson to that person for insulting your favorite. That aggravates matters more and you also become liable for action for reacting thus. Instead you will simply make use of the "REPORT" button and report the thread by stating the reason clearly.

Please keep in mind moderators are also members. We would also like time to make our own posts. We also have our own lives and cannot be here 24/7. Please allow a reasonable time frame of at least 24 hours before escalating the issue and PMing a moderator. We try to address reports as soon as we can. Please avoid PMing the moderators unless the issue has been neglected for way too long or it is an extremely pressing matter. Instead of mass PMing it would appreciated if one person PM's the concern DT with regards to the issue.

New Topics - Before posting a new topic, check first few pages to see that its not posted already otherwise your topic would be closed or merged, depending on which is more suitable, repetitive doesnt add discussion on the forum and segments discussion as well as makes the forum look messy

No Update Requests - Please be patient. Do not create topics asking for written or video updates. The updates will be posted as per the updaters' convenience. If you are not assigned to do the updates then please do not post updates.  This is not fair as the updater spends time in doing the update and when they come to the forum they find it already done and posted, it puts the updaters' work to waste. Incase you want to update for any particular day kindly PM and take permission from the updater.

No Comments - Do not post replies or comments under topics which bear the phrase 'No Comments' in their title or within the post. As the title suggests, it is not meant to be replied to. If you wish to comment or reply or thank the author, you may PM the author of the post or topic.

Posting Email Address/Personal Information of Actors -Accounts, email addresses and personal pictures/information of actors are not allowed to be posted or revealed unless they themselves give it. Also, posting your email address on open forum is not allowed - it really isn't safe!

Posting Articles - Before posting any article please check the first few pages or use the "Search" bar which is located in the right side of the forum, above the "My Last 10 Topic/Popular Topics" section, to make sure that it has not been posted before. Provide the source of the articles posted from other website, otherwise your topic would be closed or merged, depending on which is more suitable, repetitive doesnt add discussion on the forum and segments discussion as well as makes the forum look messy

Articles from Telly Chakkar are copyrighted and not meant to be share on IF. Posting articles from Indian Television and Telly Chakkar are not allowed on IF. Do not post articles from Telly Buzz directly on forum. Post only link to the article from Telly Buzz.

No Chatting/Spamming - Refrain yourself from chatting/spamming on the forum. Don't to start your personal chats in threads opened for various subjects/discussion topics. Please try to stick to the topic title when posting replies - chatting in discussion topics is NOT allowed. 

Emotions - Do not type message or post reply full of emotions only. Emotions are used to emphasize how you feel when words alone aren't enough. They serve as "add-ons" to your message BUT it doesn't mean that you are to type a whole line of Emoticons alone, without a single word or phrase (e.g. '😃')! Messages containing only emotions  will be deleted.

Quoting Posts/Members - Do NOT quote more than 3 short posts or  long posts especially when it messes up the coding which makes it look bad. If you want to reply to someone use the @ format like @A:, @B: & so on. You can also use the @ format to reply to multiple members in the same post.

Discussion Thread - The episode discussion thread is for episode discussion only, 1-2 pages of chatting is acceptable but refrain from this as much as possible.  DO NOT use this thread to talk about members or any happenings on the forum.  Repeated rule breaking will lead to warning level raise. Refer to Rules in the Episode Discussion Thread regarding to posting


Appreciation Thread - AT discussion should be kept to who the AT are for, refrain from talking about other characters, refrain from talking about matters occuring on the main forum and any comparisons.  Idle chatter is not allowed,  1-2 pages is allowed at times but should be refrained from where possible. Refer to respective AT's rules for posting

AT Rules and other important rules:

Dear Forum members,
 
Simple reminder of important rules which are there on IF and Forum from long time.
 
Name Calling: Name calling of the actors, characters and members is highly not acceptable. Calling Anandi as Tandi or Jagya as Jogiya comes under name calling.  Anandi is a character and she can never be differentiated as Panandi or Tanandi. Please refer Anandi as Anandi only.
Calling a character/actor as devil, chudail etc comes under name calling so please use right language while posting on the forum.
 
Member Bashing: Though we know the rules very well, still arguments in personal tone are happening every day in the forum. Please remember that every one has right for their point of view and you cannot term some one as basher because he/she has a different view on the actor/character you like.
 
Every day DT is observing that members are indulging into calling other members as Bashers. Discuss on the content of the post but do not name call and discuss about member in any post. Henceforth the WL will be raised without any PM or notice if members are attacked on personal tone.
 
Reporting Posts: While reporting also you need to use proper language against the member/post you are reporting. Saying, ask the member to rot in their AT or suggesting DT what action to take comes under Moral Policing. Please report and leave the decisions for DT. Do not report same post multiple times.
 
Frustrations: If you do not like a particular track or story line, if you feel a particular character is not getting enough screen space, do not open new posts to criticize CVs. All the frustrations should go in Frustrations Thread only. Any new posts created will be closed immediately.
 
Un parliamentary words: using words like Bitch etc though typed as B**h also comes under violation of rules.  Stop using these derogatory words while on IF.
 
Please refer IF Global Participation Guidelines and existing Forum Rules for more clarity. 
 
BV DT
