Please know the difference between bashing and criticism. Things can be
said in a more civilized manner rather than being brutal. Dislike, criticism, disagreement or contradiction is not
considered bashing and everyone is welcome to express their opinions
within the Mahakaali AHAH forum rules and IF COC. And while criticizing,
remember should not post anything unsavory that you wouldn't like hearing
about yourself spoken by others.
You want to express your opinion, please do so in a
civil way and do not bring in Freedom of Speech as Human Rights when
the whole meaning are simply misinterpreted according to one's benefit.
Any individual and topic seen mocking opinions and
pinpointing will see a direct warning level increase of 20% and the
topic shall be closed.
Also, please refrain from passing comments against a particular fan group.
Moral Policing: We 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. There is no need for to tell members what to do or what not to post, because the forum has an active DT who WILL take action if it is deemed necessary. Do not become a moral police on the forum.
Personal
Attack/Abusive Posts: This forum is to discuss the show, actors etc and
its story, rather than the forum member or fan bases. Making any personal
attacks, sarcastic or derogatory remarks, name calling against actors/members/DT is NOT
acceptable.
Use the Report Button or PM the DT : If members have an issue with a post then report it and if its some urgent issue then PM any of the DT. Arguing in the thread won't help as the differing sides will keep seeing wrong on the other side. Quoting a post and telling the member it is reported, not allowed as it only fuels the argument.
Report Button/Response Time: Please keep in mind that DT cannot be here 24/7 as they too have their personal life. Please allow a reasonable time frame of at least 24-48 hours to work on reports before escalating the issue and PMing moderating chain. We try to address reports as soon as we can. Please avoid PMing the DT unless the issue has been neglected for way too long or it is an extremely pressing matter.
Disclaimers: Any
posts that we see with people telling others what to do, to leave the
forum because they belong to one fan group, or anything along those
lines, will be removed. Any posts that we see with a "PS: Bashers stay
away", "Only for ____ fans", etc. containing disclaimers will be edited
by Dev Team. If member is found doing the same even after
reminders/warnings it will lead to warning level raise.
Editing Post: As
you all must be aware by the forum as well as IF rules, please abide to
them while making comments. Sometimes certain thread reaches many pages
before coming to DT attention. On such threads MODS are not liable to
edit each and every comment which is against the rules. Members should
be accountable themselves on what they post and NOT hold the DT
responsible for not editing such comments and closing the topic.
Additionally, any post made with a sole intention for mocking and
instigation which leads to ruckus in the forum will be trashed without a
note. Additionally, when a title has been amended by a Dev Team or a
note has been put into a members posts, please refrain from editing such
posts, this will be seen as going against the code of conduct and the
members will be reprimanded.
OS,
SS, FF: Mahakaali AHAH is a Mytho show. Some characters are
representatives of our faith. Any OS, SS posted in this forum should
follow stories with authentic source from our Puranas or other
scriptures. Any story not following them will be closed, removed from
the forum. FF tend to take too much liberty at times hence use
Fan Fiction section to post FF, not Mahakaali AHAH forum.
ATs are subject to closures for violations of the AT rules.
a. Chatting: Members seem to be more into chatting so please reduce the personal chatting because we do have a chat club for that purpose so keep that in mind. However, we do allow minimum chatting in ATs, provided it is related to this AT alone. Additionally Do not spam with just emotions/numbers to increase post count/pages. Do not quote long quotes. You can quote three posts maximum and they should be small.
ATs are open for everyone, however, do not invade the AT with the purpose to rile up the fans or instigate them. Everyone has their right to voice out their opinions and should NOT be judged/generalized based on their likes/dislikes. If any of your fellow members/friends fails to follow the rules, kindly ask them to edit out or tell them its wrong rather than joining them and aggravate the issues further and equally responsible for carrying forward an unfavorable situation. Hence be responsible and take responsibility because that way you may prevent action taken against your AT thread.
ATs/discussions
threads can NOT be used to target other members and NO pinpointing
activity/mock or taking digs here toward other fan groups.Any derogatory
references or name callings against actors /characters/members/Dev team
members are strictly PROHIBITED here.
b. Report: If you see anyone breaching the rules in any of the threads in the main forum, you will not come here and rant it out about it and snowball the issue further! Instead 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.
We can assure you guys that we only takes action where it's legit reason. However, here is a little catch for the stalkers who just want to report in order to get the AT closed down - If you report any post/comments that has no legit reason, you will be responsible for action against you for stalking.
c. Penalties: If the DT sees more than 3 people breaking the AT rules constantly for a week, the effects of violations will kick start, which go as follows:
First Violation - Warning Note
Second - Another Warning Note
Third - Another Warning Note
Fourth- Close the AT for 24 hrs (1 Day)
Fifth - Close AT for 72 hrs (3 Days)
Sixth - Close AT for 1 week (7 Days)
Seventh - Get rid of AT completely from the Mahakaali... Forum/Shift it to Celebrity Fan Club Forum.
The rules are applicable for multiple violation and not single post as it will be dealt individually. Having said that, please do not assume that every report submitted by opposite fan group will be entertained. We will go through the reports and only if we find the report valid based on above rules, then we will speak to the Admins of the AT and action will be taken accordingly as stated above.
PS: Forum rules will be amended if needed.
Regards
Mahakaali AHAH DT
