Voice Your Opinion - New Section Rules! - Page 8

I think before reaching any topic to bashing, members who instigate and provoke need to get warning... Saw many members jump in each topic related to Gurmeet Choudhary, If they don't like him, then What needs to comment and turn the forum to a war ground? They do it only to close topics about GC and they talk about freedom, coz freedom has nothing to do with putting someone down...

Although the purpose of this thread was slightly diverted, it seems like we generally have the same viewpoint on what rules should be imposed, just phrased differently. If we talk it out, we may come across other less obvious issues and deal with them accordingly. Lastly, for the most part, I agree with many of the points listed.

As for the warning level procedure, I personally think that everyone deserves one chance as sometimes we all have that moment. Therefore, I think the the process for warnings should go like this:

1) Reminder PM
2) Warning PM
3) Warning Level

Reminder: This topic will remain open til July 6th - that leave 2 days for anyone who wants to add in anything last minute.

And one more rule:

1. Differentiation between Criticism and bashing:

Just as all criticism is not bashing,in the same way all bashing cannot be overlooked as criticism. There has been lot of instigation and personal comments on celebrities as well as fans. Saying that XYZ needs to improve/work hard is criticism,but stating that he/she needs to take another birth to become a human/dancer,is bashing. Also mocking someone's name or calling them a liar isnt criticism IMO.

2. No personal attacks on members:

This applies to all fans as well as non fans. Terming a fan group as immature/teenagers/stupids/droolers,or saying that they just drool/worship or report, or mocking them is not acceptable. Just because they love and respect a celebrity doesnt necessarily mean that their IQ level is 0,and others can pass judgement on them. A little patience from fans too. Even if someone's posts are provoking try to just report or ignore, rather than getting personal.

3. No personal life/other show discussions:

There shouldnt be any personal life discussions of any celebrity,or any indirect mocking. How a celebrity is conducting or conducted his/her personal life is none of our business. Discussions should be limited to the performances of the celebrity performing in the show. Also no discussion about the present or past shows or forums of a celebrity. How YYZ is acting in another show,or show before that,shouldnt be discussed here. Also what happened in his/her earlier show forums isnt related to this forum, so is not required here.

4. One Appreciation Thread:

It is already enforced,but still,there should be only one appreciation thread for a celebrity. It is convenient for all members as forum is less cluttered,and there is no confusion.

5. No Direct/ Indirect sarcasm or digs:

They do nothing else than provoking a particular group and creating an unpleasant atmosphere. Direct sarcasm is still easy to respond to or report, but many times members indulge in indirect sarcasm/mocking of celebrities. Almost everyone understands the celebrity being targeted, yet nothing can be done, as they havent named the celebrity even if its obvious. So a check should be kept on this.

6. Freedom of expression:

For both critics as well as supporters in a healthy way. If someone likes a particular celebrity, doesnt mean that he/she has no right to express his opinions outside the Appreciation thread. Just as some people can dislike a performance,in the same way some members can like a performance too. And if they give their view supporting the performance in a healthy manner,doesnt mean that they are trying to convert a thread into appreciation thread. They are just expressing their opinion. And if that is not possible there should be only one criticism thread for each episode. It doesnt make sense that those who appreciate can do so in only one thread,and those who criticize can do so in every single thread.

7.No multiple Quoting:

At times members keep quoting same reply,or each other's post again and again without adding anything to it. It looks like spamming, so multiple quoting without adding anything should be avoided.
