Holaa Everyone 🤗 ...Welcome to DID Season 5 Forum 😎
Here are a few rules to keep in mind before posting. Please go over each and everyone of them.
DID Season 5 Dev. Team :
Channel Moderator: jyoti06
Rules of the Forum :(Credit for Jess. for some of the rules from previous season )
To all members participating in DID Season 4 forum, we want all of you to co-exist peacefully and have fun.
Introducing Yourself:All newbies and other general Members of this forum ,introduce yourselves in this one common thread DID Season 5:Introduction Corner instead of opening separate intro topics..Use the help desk: Any queries or doubts regarding the show or the forum or contestents or any other issues , use this DID Season 5 Help & Suggestions Corner thread .Every member of the forum can co-operate their bits in this thread and help the members having doubts ..
Organizing Contest/Activities:
Take permission of the Dev team (thats me..jyoti06) if you want to
organise any Contest/Activities/Game or open any Appreciation-Threads
for any contestant or judge or anchor ...Any such topic opened without
permission from dev team will be closed right away ..
No Bashing/Name calling or using curse words/foul language for the dancers/judges will be tolerated :
Regarding Dancing and Judging Capabilities---
Please
refrain from posting insulting/mocking comments against
contestants/judges... Having said that , Constructive criticism for any
sort of decision that comes across biased from judges or criticism
against a contestant about his/her dance form gone wrong or not upto the
mark are all allowed but no sort of name calling or using curse words
like b**** etc etc will b tolerated ..
Bashing
and making personal attacks against any contestant/judge is not
allowed. Make sure members 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. Everyone have their own point of view let's
respect it. You have right to raise your opinion but one should see
lines ain't crossed. Avoid making posts that are abusive, derogatory,
insulting or sarcastic enough to affect the sentiment of another member.
This is against IF COC and won't be tolerated.
Also Keep
a control on your sarcasm. If the mods feel that your post is no longer
critiquing, but is full of sarcasm/attacks... that will be held against
you and the topic will be closed .
Regarding Appearance----
Please keep in mind that saying someone is ugly or saying anything bad about their physical appearance will NOT be tolerated!
If
not followed then You will get one initial warning & the next time
you bash someone's appearance again, your warning level will be raised
without any notification..
Please remember This is a dancing show and
not a beauty contest or a daily soap , so plss stick to judging
contestants and judges both on basis of just dancing ..
On a side
note There
are different ways of calling someone not so good looking. You could
say that "In my opinion I dont find him/her very attractive." But when
someone says something like "He/She is ugly!" or "I dont like how she
looks cause her face is too manly" etc. it really goes overboard And
this is where members got to draw and line and follow the above rules
...
No Abusive language allowed :
Swearing is NOT tolerated! You will be given a initial warning (in open
or via PM depending on the severity of your post) & then a direct
warning level raise next time without any PM notification if not
heeded. There
are other ways to discuss without including cuss words. End of
discussion. If your not sure what is considered a swear word or not,
feel free to PM Me...
No PersonalAttack against fellow members will b tolerated . Just
because
someones views are different from yours doesn't mean that you
need to make derogatory remarks about them or their intellect . There is
no reason whatsoever to be rude to anyone.
If someone disagrees with you, don't reply saying something mean
back but instead reply in a sporting tone and try to engage in healthy
debate and not a nasty one . Report the posts which have made any
personal attack instead of quoting back and taking matters in your hand
and we'll take care of it for sure within 24 hrs . We understand
self-defense but please don't comment back so that the person will
continue attacking or being rude. It will just drag on & others will
get involved and create a big mess which will lead nowhere in the end
...
There's
a huge difference between attacking and disagreeing. We don't mind
debating or having a disagreement...just don't let it cross over from
civilized disagreements to attacking.
Also, please do not post anything violative of anothers Intellectual Property.
No moral policing will be tolerated : I
would prefer members to 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.
Utilizing Report Feature: If
anyone sees a thread/post/comment which is going against IF COC ,
you will NOT take law into your own hands to teach a lesson to that
person for insulting your favorite judge/contestant . 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. As soon as the Dev Team comes online they
would take the necessary action and try our best to resolve the
issue. Plus, please dont PM the Dev Team asking them why they havent
taken any action , instead wait for at least 24 hrs . Once we get online, it'll be taken care of...
Regarding Language: A
lot of members try to use code words and asterisk and try to get away
with such language. Well, It won't be allowed here and members might be
given direct WL rise for using some of these following code words ...
Few examples : W*F (What the Fish is a lame excuse so do not try)
F**K U
"Who watches this Shit?" etc etc ...
No post on Dev Team working will be allowed : No
post/threads
shall be opened criticizing the functioning of the
Dev Team. If you have any issues contact the section Dev Team thats me
by PM and
sort it out and if you are still not convinced with my reply , you can
approach the GMs via PM about it but do not create a scene by starting a
thread here .No
personal attack 'direct/indirect, abusive/sarcastic posts against the
dev team shall be tolerated and those will b closed or trashed straight
away .
No Advertising:Videos
from other forums/websites containing the website logo are not allowed.
If found doing so the topic will be trashed & a PM will be send.
If you continue to do so even then, your warning level will be
raised.Also posting links from IF in other forums is strictly
prohibited.
Posting Email Address or personal info of Contestants : Accounts
or
email address of contestants is not allowed to be posted or revealed
unless they themself give it on social networking site like facebook or
twitter and ask to share it ... Also, posting your email address on open
forum is not allowed.
Picture topics: We
have a || DID Season 4 Picture Gallery ||
and I want you all to use that. Please do not
make any topics on just pictures. If there are some special event/party
pictures that
you want to post on the forum then plss inform Dev Team about it via PM
before opening the topic . We will allow picture topics on special
occasion, but again only after taking permission.
No Controvertial Stuff from Another Site or Blog allowed : Any
site or blog demeaning the contestant or judges on OR off the show and link given
to the same in the signature or on the forum is not allowed to maintain
forum peace. It will be immediately removed and repeated offence will
result in WL increased or ban.
Regarding Posting of Articles : India-Forums
does not allow articles from any Blogsite Or rival sites like TellyChakkar.com or other
competitive websites ,so please DO NOT POST articles from these sites.

own TellyBuzz are permitted. In case you have any doubt regarding
whether this article from a particular website can be posted or not,you
can just pm the Dev team and ask your query before posting the
article ..
No Morphed Pictures: We do not allow this on IF. So please refrain from posting such pictures. You can check the below link for more details MERGING/MORPHING - NOT ALLOWED
Quoting Posts/Members/Creations/Pictures: Don't
quote long posts especially when it messes up the coding which makes it
look bad and also slows down the server . If you want to reply to someone use the @ format like @A: ,
@B: & so on. Only upto 3 quotes are allowed in a post given the fact
they are relatively small quotes and not page long essays...
Action against MID Creation :
Please keep in mind making an MID with the purpose to fool around with
members or to bash or create an unnecessary fight will lead to ban on
the MID and warning issued to the original one. Also, if you think a
member is using a MID then contact the section Dev Team. There is no
need to accuse someone based on assumption. What we think might not
always be true and accusing someone based on an assumption is wrong. If
you have any proof and evidence with regards to the same you can get in
touch with the Dev Team. They will look into the matter and do the
needful.
Regarding FB status/Tweets : DID Season 4
is a new season and we have a dedicated forum to discuss the current on
air show. Keeping this in mind DT would like to make it clear .
a) Tweets by the past contestants or judges related only to the current season of DID season 4 will be allowed .
b) Any other random tweets by the past contestants which has no relevance to the DID season 4 will be closed/trashed.
c) Any
personal tweets by non-celebrity members / forum members even if it
pertains to DID season 4 are absolutely not acceptable in this forum .
We
respect IF members privacy and would prefer members social interaction
outside the India-Forums ( FB/Twitter/LinkedIn,G+,Myspace,Pinterest etc)
is not brought into this forum. Any such posts violating a member's
privacy will be trashed immediately and a warning level will be
increased.
d) An official Twitter/FB Update thread may be opened , where
members can post new tweets/statuses pertaining to the current season and its
contestants.
Last Reminder Again :
Remember DID season 4 is a dance reality show which is different than the regular soaps/serials and
hence certain rules might be different than other forums .. so plss dont compare the rules of other forums and argue on it ...
Also remember ,Rules may be amended with the forum enviornment
