***Section Rules***
Dear Friends,
These are some basic rules that every section has, and we need to just look back on them and make sure we are folowing them๐
Before we do that, let me first congratulate all of you for making the section a great place to be.
So the few basic rules, that we should try and follow.
******************************************
New Topics. Before posting a new topic, make sure that no one has posted the same topic (or similar topic as yours)otherwise your topic could be deleted or closed and it will also create unneccesary confusion
Proper Language. Respect everyone?s point of view, opinions, suggestions and ideas. Avoid using offensive or foul language when posting a message. Please maintain a friendly atmosphere and don't create fights or conflicts. If you come across any offensive post or bad language you can pm any of the development team members. the list can be found at this link
Articles from the Net. When posting an article from another site, do give proper credit to it by posting the site name or address. See Tellbuzz rule below.
No Comments
. Do NOT post replies or comments under topics, which bear the phrase, ?NO COMMENTS? in its title. As the title suggests, it is not meant to be replied to. If you wish to comment or reply or thank the author, you may PM the author of the post or topic.
Caps Lock. Do not post an entire message in CAPITALS. It implies ?shouting? or emphasis on something and it is not proper.
Emoticons. Do not type a message full of Emoticons alone! Emoticons are used to emphasize how you feel when words alone aren?t enough. They serve as ?add-ons? to your message BUT it doesn?t mean that you are to type a whole line of Emoticons alone, without a single word or phrase (e.g. '๐๐๐')!
Advertisement. You are not to advertise for any particular website or group site in the forum. Advertisements of any form are strictly forbidden at India Forums!
?Picture Gallery-No Comments?. All Pictures are to be posted under the sticky topic, ?Picture Gallery-No Comments?. Make sure that the image/s you are to post have not yet been posted before. Remember, ?No Comments? means that you are not to comment under the topic!
Participation. Everyone is highly encouraged to participate in forum discussions or games to create a lively atmosphere in the forum.
Unrelated topics. please don't post topics that are not related to Bigg Boss. Do not post messages addressed to the stars or crew members either IF is a fan site only. It is not directly associated with the show or its actors. Your message would not get conveyed to them!
Spamming: Do not spam the forum with same topics or spam any topic. Spamming might lead to raise in warning level. Spamming is is just posting a smiley in a topic, or similar.
'Thank You' Button -Use the button in posts whenever you want to say Thank You. NO need to post a Thank You comment, when just saying Thank You. Same with 'tfs' and thnxs 4 sharing.
Contests- If you want to start a contest of any kind please contact the Bigg Boss Dev Team, this is so that we know that what contests are going on, and when they will finish, so they do not go on for too long and are conducted in a fair way.
Input from Raj5000

Spamming: Do not spam the forum with same topics or spam any topic. Spamming might lead to raise in warning level. Spamming is is just posting a smiley in a topic, or similar.

Friends,
As you all know that India Forums just launched our own news hub, and with the launch of IF Telly Buzz we are now in direct competition with Telly Chakkar and Indian Television.
So please ensure that the articles from the above 2 sites are not posted on our forum from now on, as this is a request straight from Vijay (the site admin).
All Articles from these two sites, will be trashed, without any notice.
Also please be reminded to provide links for all articles that are posted from other websites.
REMINDER - To all members who post TB Articles, it is requirement of Telly Buzz team that you do no post article in full, as then it makes TB Articles and effort go to waste, and you are meant to discuss articles in comment section there too, as they are meant to be locked on forum.
Thanks,
IF Dev Team
P.S If you have any issues with this rule, please PM me or any member of the Dev Team

UPDATED RULES!!!
As part of monthly review Forum admins noticed lot of spamming in this section and have advised dev team to re-instate the rules for members to be aware of.
Please read them!
It?s understandable that Big Boss show is not on air and there is not much to discuss but that doesn?t mean we can treat this section as a general chat section. There are other sections where chatting is allowed and members are requested to use them. We do encourage few fun filled and not contextual post but there should be some limit.
We encourage discussion on Big Boss related topic or at least contextual references to the Bigg Boss show.
- All non Bigg Boss related posts will require a consent or approval from the BB Dev team before being opened. Any such topic if found opened without the permission of the Dev team will be trashed immediately without any notice to the member. Non adherence to the rule can lead to warning as well. This includes the Game threads. This section is soon turning out to be a game section, please try and avoid this.
- Please be reminded that no non topic/off topic mundane chatting will be entertained in threads. If you have to discuss, discuss the topic or responses in the topic related to the topic. Non topic chatting makes the threads look unimpressive and also the continuity of the discussion gets lost.
It has been seen that at times, the same article or interview gets posted many a times in a day by different members. So, before you post an article, check the last couple of pages to make sure it has not been posted before. Please avoid redundancy. Such articles will be trashed by the Dev Team without any notice.
Do not open welcome or goodbye or recall or missing or busy threads. They also fall in the non contextual category.
For Contest or DOTW or Game threads do not get carried away in off topic chatting filling up pages. It may seem enjoyable to some, but the rest who are taking active interest in reading the responses lose track and is quite frustrated. Please avoid it.
Please STOP spamming. It makes the topics and the threads look messy.
- Please use Topic names which make sense to the contents and clear.
Understand we were very privileged section, being pampered by our dev team but as part following consistency of rules and regulations across the forum all members are requested to read the rules and follow it. Non adherence can result in getting a warning.
We know that all are here for fun and rules help us have fun in a more organized manner, which as part of community is a great practice. Looking forward to co-operation from you all, Kudos to all BBians..
The rules there have been in place for some time now, and I sincerely hope for your benefit that you have read them. This thread is simply a reminder for you members to stick to the rules and the main aim of this thread is to let you know that Spamming and Chatty threads will not be tolerated.
If you have any problems then you can add it to the Suggestions/commments thread that we have HERE:
Big Boss Forum Dev Team.
