3. Name-Calling/Stereotyping: Giving names to other fans/fan groups, will not be tolerated. From now on name calling, bashing other fans/fan groups, or stereotyping will not be allowed. In addition, comment on the show and not the viewers. It seems like half of the posts are targeted at the viewers rather than the show.

As soon as the Dev Team comes online they would take the necessary action and try our best to resolve the issue.
6. Language: A lot of members try to use code words and asterisk and try to get away with such language. Well, It won't happen from now on. This decision has been made by the Global moderators themselves.Any such profanities will not be tolerated in the forum.

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. Everyone have their own point of view let's respect it.
