First, welcome to India Forums -- where mods are pretty awesome until they are bothered to such an extreme degree by a gang of fans.
Now, the system. It so happens that one gang member infiltrates the forum. They don't post, they just stare and keeps a tab on the posts here. We call them "lurkers." They don't contribute, are here just to read, and no one is aware of their presence or how many of these "lurkers" there are. Not all lurkers are part of the gang though. Most are nice. They read, they laugh, and if they want to join the fun, they create an account and post. We like those types of people. Anyway, their presence isn't known until ..
The DT Note. This is a note by a mod / person on the show's development team. Usually mods are nice, free-going, happy, cheerful people who couldn't really bother with the life of us "lesser people" until they are pestered to the degree that their inbox overflows with hate-mail and the only way to curb this is to side with them because they know that the other side is full of nice, free-going, happy, cheerful people -- so they would understand. And we do understand. We temporarily get a bit angry at the DT for picking their side, but after a few minutes, we calm down and understand the DT's POV and sympathize and thank our stars that we don't have to deal with the people the DT has to.
Now you must be wondering what must be going on to create such a huge pandemonium of a crisis? Well, remember the "lurking" gang members, well after they find a post, the little antennae in their head lights up and beeps like crazy. This makes you disturbed and angry. They are blinded (remember that light) and quickly network to the other members linking the post, circling the person who posted it, bashing that person and the post, and then ordering that they bother the DT. 1-5 people can't do anything, DT wouldn't care. This is more like 10-20 people who constantly spam the DT to get their demands fulfilled. They usually don't really have a leg to stand on, since when a DT has to place a note, it isn't on the first few days of a huge thread like an EDT, AT, etc. It usually somewhere in the middle of the show when fan war dramas happens. So it's either have the nice group take the hit to shut people up, or it's fight against people and defend nice group that hasn't created a need for a DT note. The easier one - yep - the former option.
In the end, I feel bad for the DTs. They have no choice and are sometimes at the receiving end (whether posted or PMed) from both parties. I don't think there is a solution to any of this though, people will just be people. Maybe it was an error on our part, maybe it was an error on the reporters' end. Who knows and ... honestly, who cares.
If we learn anything from CAS, it's that as powerful as emotions can be, it's more wiser to use your head. Emotions are good, it helps build our character, but it's more so on how we express and utilize these emotions that makes us great. Ashok's emotions are all over the place, but when he gets his emotions controlled, focuses on a target, he not only hits it - it's a bulls-eye. Right now with the KVK track, his emotions are again all over the place. He tries to focus them, but it's interrupted by KVK. That's why he is still where he is.
