Hey Guys, 🤗

A warm welcome to one and all. As you all know that Ye Hai Mohabbatein Forum is going to have a very fun and exciting forum with lots of members joining in to discuss the show. And fortunately or unfortunately there will also be situations that crop up that'll need us the YHM Development Team members to step in. So before that, we'd love for you to take a quick read through with the rules. And no, they are not repetitive. Please have a read through and enjoy.

Development Team: As you all know the Ye Hai Mohabbatein Development Team currently consists of me [-HibiscusR-] and *Resham* [CM of SP Channel]. So, if you have any problem in the forum, any complaints, any suggestions regarding any thread, written update, video update etc, you can contact either of us. It is highly suggested that people looking forward to get in touch with the DT.

The chain will be as follows: Viewbies --> Moderators --> Channel Moderators --> Global Moderators --> Admin. Speak to the Viewbies first and then follow as be the chart. We promise to reply back to your PMs as soon as we can. Coolbies and Super Videobies are not included in the moderation team. They only provide written/video updates of the show on the forum.

Written and Video Updates: Written Updates and Video Updates will be provided by members who sign-up/volunteer to do them. It is requested that there be no topics asking for Written Updates/Video Updates because it could be that the Updater's live in a different time zone and update according to their time zone. Updater's put a lot of effort into their work and so it would be awesome if you guys could appreciate their work by posting a reply, and 'Liking' their updates.

No Comment Topics [NC]: Topics which have the '[NC]' mark stands for No Comments. In these threads, it is preferred that members refrain from posting any comments as it will be convenient to browse through the comments without any issue. These include : The Picture Gallery, The Archives Mansion etc. Comments in such thread's will be trashed by the Development Team.

New Members: YHM is a forum where New Members are always accepted, with open arms. If you are a new member/silent member, don't be afraid, open a topic and introduce yourself! We'd love to hear from you, what you think about the show, the characters, the members and even the forum! And remember, everyone is welcome.

Archive Mansion: All Important links are posted in the Archive Mansion, so if you ever need anything, just click on the Archive Mansion.

Help Desk: Have a question? Need an answer? Post your question in the Help desk and you for sure will get a reply.

Posting Pictures: Posting pictures of episode caps, events prior to the starting of Mohabbatein is allowed as a seperate topic for comments and discussion, but pictures from Divyanka and Karan shows are not allowed to be created as a seperate topic. If there are pictures from their previous shows, please post them in their respective forums.

Creations Gallery: Have creations? Siggies? Avis? Please post them in the Creations Gallery and get feedback and compliments from members.

 All creations (siggies/avis) are to be posted in the Creation Gallery. Regarding adding Signatures to ur Signature Dabba, A new Guideline has been put up regarding the size of the signature, Please check the New Rule/Guideline here: ATTN: Signature/Avatar Size - Guidelines

Fan Fictions & Video Mixes: Creativity is always welcome. Are you a Fan-Fic writer? Or a VMixer, post your creations, stories and create your own little Mohabbatein shops! But don't forget, Always post the links to your VMs and FFs in the respective VM and FF corner so your readers/viewers can keep a track of all the amazing fics you write or/and VMs you make.

Bashing vs. Constructive Criticism: Bashing is NOT allowed. No. Nahin. No bashing. Constructive criticism is allowed. Saying "I dislike so and so because she is doing this ______" is fine, but calling the character names and picking on their physical characteristics. And DO NOT bash other members either. The forum is meant for discussions, not for hate or arguments. If someone doesn't agree with your opinions, it doesn't' mean you have a right to call them names and tell others to ignore them. Everyone has a right to opinion and if someone is saying something that is against the I-F CoC, REPORT them. Easy as that. PM the Dev Team or report them. That way, you don't get into trouble either.

Bashing: An act of verbal abuse or the use of foul language that can be provocative or offensive!
Constructive Criticism:
Any feedback that is purely intended to improve someone else's work in future endeavors! India-forums.com Code of Conduct strictly forbids members from bashing celebrities, the characters they portray on screen and fellow members! This includes the use of foul language, as well as any personal remarks, i.e. how the actor looks like, as they have no control over it! We welcome members to share their constructive criticism on the absurdity of the series's story line and character, as well as to discuss the actor's talents, however, please refrain from engaging in any kind of bashing, which may have severe consequences.

Advertising: Posting videos/article from other sites as well as anything that contains a logo/link are not allowed and will be trashed, Warning may be given and even after that if the warning is not taken into consideration ur WL will be increased and this may lead to Banning the Members Account who posts such Vids etc.

Bashing/Name Calling/Personal Attacks: Bashing or any type of name calling towards a member/dev. team/actor/character are not allowed. It is offensive as well as disrespectful and can hurt the sentiments of the person it is directed at. Anyone found doing so will receive a warning and as said, if the member doesn't take the warning into consideration the WL will increase and will lead to banning the Account.

Also, bashing a character (calling him different sort of names) is also not allowed. Criticism  towards a character (I do not like his character because...XYZ) and the plot are allowed and can be discussed. Bashing and Criticizing are poles apart.

Comparison Polls/Topics: Topics/Polls comparing two or more actors,shows, or anything that can lead to fights, which is why Comparison Polls/Topics are not allowed. Any thread found doing so will be closed immediately. If the member continues posting such topics/polls, PM warning will be sent!

Multiple IDs: Members are permitted to have only one ID/Account on IF. Those found using another ID/Account will have it banned immediately as well as receive a warning and may also receive a raise in their warning level.

Chatting/Spamming/One Liners:Chatting as well as spamming and one liners are not allowed. Topics posted on the forum are for the purpose of discussing so stick to the topic at hand. Threads that no longer serve that purpose will be closed. Posting just to say "Thanks", "tfs" etc. is also a form of spamming and instead, the "LIKE" button can be used to express your gratitude. If you wish to chat or converse with someone, then use the PM feature or go to the CC.

Capital Letters: Posting in all Capital Letter is not permitted. This represents "SHOUTING" on the internet and it also can be viewed as offensive. If u want to stress on a word, couple of words can be typed in Capital but DO NOT type the whole Post in Capital Letters.

Articles: When posting articles, REFRAIN from posting articles from sites such as TellyChakkar as they are in direct competition with I-F.

When posting articles from TellyBuzz, post the link only, rather then copying+pasting the whole article in a topic.

Reporting Topics: If you come across a topic that goes against MB Forum rules and I-F COC, please report the topic by clicking on the 'Report' button or PM the moderators. Do not reply back into the topic, because it may lead to arguments and fights. And if there are arguments happening, every member will be looked into, regardless of whether you were trying to do the right thing. The Dev Team will try our best to deal with it.

Warnings: We believe that everyone deserves a fair chance in the YHM forum . If there is a problem, we will listen to both the sides of the issue before making a decision. How this will work: You will receive 3 Warning PMs before your WL will be increased. And if a member continues to bash, further action will be taken such as banning.

Appreciation Threads: Yes, appreciation threads are allowed, but no bashing is allowed in those threads but please ask the DT permission before opening the threads. And the only condition we ask for in the threads is that an active member has to start the appreciation threads and collect all the needed, siggies, videos etc and member names of that Appreciation thread.

Use of abusive Language: Please try not to use the bad words and yes, we all know what those are. Using 'W*F, WTH, What the Fish, BS' is not allowed so please don't try to find a way around it. I-F and YHM is a forum where we have members of all ages come and to try to catch up on their favourite shows. No, it might not be members themselves but visitors who might feel discouraged from joining I-F after seeing the language used.

Birthday Threads & Congratulatory Posts: Birthday threads and Congratulatory posts are allowed to be posted in the YHM forum seeing if the member is a member of YHM forum. (Was that confusing or what?). Anyways, the Birthday Threads can be PMed to the Dev Team members, so they can sticky it in the forum for a while ONLY if there is room. Sometimes there might not be room for the Dev Team to add another sticky as it is mandatory for enough topics for discussion to be present on the front page of the forum.

Repeated Topics: If someone has already posted a topic which shares similar views to what you have to say, please do not create a whole new topic. Instead reply in the thread the other member created first. That way the forum will be neat and clean and there wont' be multiple topics floating around.

No Comments Topic: Threads that say "No Comments" on them such as the Article Archive/Picture Gallery/Update Archive etc. mean only those items are allowed. Any comments found will be trashed
If you find anyone violating any of the rules, please use the  button and refrain from replying back directly as it can add fuel to the fire as well as u can fall into trouble.

Promos: Yes, the promo's are allowed to be posted and discussed to the heart's content, but as before, if someone has already posted the promo, go back a few pages to see and make sure you are not posting the same promo.

Problems/Issues with the Development Team: Have problems with the Dev Team? Well, then come us, please PM us and let us know! We DT members are not biased towards any fan group but that does not mean we aren't fans of the leads or any other characters in MB. We have opinions too, about the show, and what improvements we might want to see in the show. But that does not make us biased. Once a problem is reported, it is the DT's worry and responsibility to deal with the problem, and just because someone is not aware of what is happening to the topics they reported, it does not mean that we are not doing anything to stop/help. If you have questions, and queries that you'd like us to answer, please PM us. We'd be happy to look into it.

PS: I and Resham both are in the IST time zone.


We are not here to make your lives hard, we are just here to sort everything out and make Ye Hai Mohabbatein - A clean forum for all it's visitors and members for which we need your Co-operation.

Best Regards,
