Like:
1. That some people are really clever, original, funny in their answers, sometime they make me laugh, other times I learn something I did not know or confirm something I did. At any rate the small amount of people that participate are in fact a good representation of a broader group and you kind of get an idea what the average/general public is thinking.
2. You can find news fast, if anything is happening in the world of Bollywood entertainment, ( I know there are other areas of interest in the forum but Bollywood it is what I follow here, if I wanted to know about Hollywood for example, I would have other places for more direct information).
3. I like the set up and ease of user friendly format. You get the opportunity to share or to read opinions and expanded views, you do not even have to participate, you can just read (I did for a long time), Being able to get expanded information that people can add to is something that other mediums do not allow, due to space constrains, and sometimes in those sites you get the headline and that is it. I like details, and information more than just a headline, being able to read others opinions sometimes helps you see things from another view point or angle you did not consider before.
Dislike:
1. This dislike is not for this site only, it is for all SM. I do realize that opinion sites have to be Moderated or otherwise it would turn into a war, argument site, and that kills a forum, but I hate censorship, the cancel culture, or the power advantages. Overall I think the Mods here on IF do a very good job, and in comparison to other sites they get high marks, for not interfering until they have to, nor micromanaging every single thread.
2. I wish that the Removed Content Vault would allow those who posted access to at least their comment, because sometimes people put in a lot of effort on their answers and suddenly it is deleted, they may wish to copy it or save for themselves, HOWEVER I do understand why it is done, and also understand the wisdom of deleting it, so that nothing gets dragged on and on. It may work for the administration as they have it even if I (one person do not agree with it). At any rate those set rules are not deterrents for me, I accepted them when I joined.
3. Allowing people to discuss some things that IF does not endorse could have a work around by the site posting a disclaimer that people are adults therefore responsible for what they post, and if you do not brake rules, I do not see why some issues cannot be discussed, when people are being civil.
