So I login in the morning to write an OS & I c another PM this time from the Global "MOD" that my WL has been increased. No reason why. After the 1st WL for my KOSTINs I ve adhered to every damn silly rule. Then I c tat almost all my posts ve been closed or removed. Even innocent ones. There is no reason in the PM. In fact very arrogantly it says dont reply to this PM. Even when this forum "MOD" shut down my post requesting for a Frustration Thread (I mean why was tat thread shut down, its not even bt the show or the characters or actors) I still politely replied to her requesting for a Frustration thread.
So why these WLs. I ve been in multiple forums IPK1, IPK2, IPK3, Rangrasiya, EDKV, KRPKAB (silent reader), IMMJ I had only nice experiences. In these 7 yrs I ve not got a single warning. All these forums esp IPK was v active. There were usual fan wars. I used 2 support ASR. Many used 2 support KKG who I disliked. We used 2 ve healthy debates but not once ve I got WLs or any posts closed like this. In fact in IPK1 there was a BASHERS thread exclusively only for bashing Barun & ASR. MODS still allowed those threads. But this forum & its so called "MODS" are the worst kind of joke. Just 4 mths in this forum & all my posts r targeted by trolls, get shut down by these "MODS". Its so blatant tat I am being targeted. I get WL aft WL for what? For criticizing a fictional show, a fictional character or make valid points on acting nuances. But in this forum these ppl will name call & abuse real people. I ve been called LOW LIFE, LIAR, HYPOCRITE, CHEAT & many more. 1 wonderful lady wrote a post bt how we people will mock ppl with panic attacks in real life. What did the MODs do. Very silently edited this madam's post & deleted my post asking her 2 stop making personal attacks. Oh the hypocrisy. The post which attacked forum members is silently edited by the MOD & my post which questioned her for attacking real people was deleted. Really? What is the real meaning of the word MODERATOR. Is it being an unbiased supervisor of a forum or flag bearer of these trolls & rabid fans.
So why call this INDIA FORUM. Why not simply call it india FAN forum because tats wat it is. A shrine to overrated, mediocre TV actors. This is not a place for neutral, intelligent TV viewers who want to discuss, debate over aspects related to acting, writing, direction & other technical details. This forum is just meant for rabid fans to make posts aft posts screeching bt so called chemistry. Story telling, script & other nuances of movie/show making can go to hell.
When I came 2 this forum I saw few posts saying how DD fans r horrible. I just ignored those warnings. Come on I ve been in forums with fans of BS, SI, NP, SS, AB, NS etc. How can tis forum b different. But hell no. All those warnings were true. No where ve I seen such abusive, obnoxious, rabid fans. Every single warning bt DD fans ve been proven right. And wats even worse is the forum MOD also turns a blind eye towards them. They attack in droves. Hijack ur threads & turn it into battle grounds giving these so called MODs an excuse (not that they need an excuse) to shut down ur posts & hand out WLs like candies. Make personal attacks. Hound u. But again nada from the IF MODs. Coz its these rabid fans who earn clicks for their articles. Who comment & comment. So the ppl who run this website dont care bt TV viewers. They care only bt these rabid fans who keep their website ticking with clicks, likes & comments. They dont need sensible tv viewers. They dont need intelligent discussions or thought provoking debates.
Its in IF that I discovered my love for writing. I managed to get the friendship & support of many ppl who liked & commented on my stories. Many of them gradually got disillusioned with IF & left. Now I am at a similar crossroads & the writing on the wall is clear. Rather than being subjected to such ridiculous bias & targeting its better to quit now. Of course aft this post I am sure I ll b permanently banned. Sadly I dont ve the time to copy my stories & then delete them from this site. Its too late now. But I am confident in my talent. Even if I am unable to access my own stories I am sure I can write many more.
A special thanks to all my friends in IPK1 & IMMJ forum. You guys are wonderful!
A final word to the so called MODERATORS of this forum & this website. I know my words will fall on deaf ears but at least going forward do justice to the name MODERATOR & the role it implies. Yes neutral, sensible viewers count might be less on IF & r outnumbered by rabid fanatics of actors but where ever possible at least try to attempt for a semblance of impartiality. Please dont make ur bias so blatant & obvious. Hope there are fewer & fewer unfortunates like me who r targeted, hounded into quitting. After the 1st WL itself I w'd ve quit but I dint coz to me quitting means surrendering. I dint want these rabid people to win. Wanted sanity & neutrality to prevail. Tat's y despite being targeted & posts aft posts getting closed or deleted I persisted. But its no longer worth it. I ve better things to do than waste time with these obnoxious fans & their buddies in the MODs team & IF team.
So there u go. You guys win.
I would like 2 thank each 1 of u who read my stories esp my ARHI stories & posts. Some day I am hoping to quit my IT job & become a full time writer. Have been taking tiny steps by writing articles & reviews. Hopefully 1 day I realize my dream of publishing a book.
Au revoir!
