:::Zor Ka Jhatka Rules - pls read:::EDITED - Page 6

Considering you are moderating.. you should have an unbiased approach. Enough said. Tht comment of Megha's was ridiculous. She has the right to say whtever she wants.. but to claim that our comments are a waste time (might not be the exact terminology.. but we all know thts wht she meant) is just pathetic. I am sorry, i wouldn't be condoning such views if I was at such a position.

If you see my post; I said "Good point" to your post and then continued that Megha was giving her feedback. 😊

Thank you.. do I get a star now or a cookie perhaps..?

Anyways.. i don't think i am getting across so i'll leave it at tht.

                               ZKJ  FORUM GUIDELINES FOR DUMMIES
                                   (fun intended, no offense anyone)

How To Behave On An Internet Forum : Internet forums are either a brilliant community where you can meet and chat with new, interesting people, or full of scornful idiots who deserve to be banned . Below step by step guidelines explain some of the common mistakes people make in forums, which makes them the sort of loathsome fool no one wants to know.Internet forums are either a brilliant community where you can meet and chat with new, interesting people, or full of scornful idiots who deserve to be banned.

step 1:TROLL

 A 'troll' posts deliberately controversial or annoying messages for the specific purpose of getting a rise out of people and initiating a hate-filled and overly-argumentative thread. The appropriate course of action is simply not to respond. Don't feed the troll.

Step 2: Godwin's Law

Godwin's Law states that "as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

Step 3: Fanboys

  Sadly, there are several members on thee forum who have such an overly-fanatical devotion to their particular celeb that they're somehow incapable of admitting that their celeb can make mistakes. They're best ignored, because 'Fanboys' are basically a special subset of 'Troll', and as such are all Nazis and/ or Hitler.


Step 4: Kiddie Bees (school going kids)

They have funny ways of spelling and don't understand that proper grownups don't want to put up    with their pubescent attempts at 'humour'

Not all  are evil, mind. Just few of them.

Step 5: Post Count

Every time you post, your post count goes up by one. Some people seem to think that the higher the post count, the more worthy and valuable they are to society at large. Frankly, the exact opposite seems to be the case; posting just to up your count is insanely annoying, so make sure all your messages add to a discussion in some way. If you're replying in a thread, make sure what you're writing is funny, interesting or funny and interesting. "celeb rocks or i agree" is not, in any way, shape or form, a valid reply, ever.


Step 6: Respect the Moderators

It's their website, and they can do whatever the hell they like with it. You're a guest, and hassling them about how they run things is akin to going round your Auntie's house and curling one out in her tea-pot .Make sure you are always buttering mods ...lol or else they can take out  your freedom of speech:)

LOL ...remember two important rules

a) mods are always right
b) mods are never wrong

 

Step 7: DON'T USE ALL CAPS IN YOUR POST

 EVER. 'Shouting' through the written word is pointless and annoying, clearly.



Step 8: Picture Etiquette & NSFW

Don't post massive pictures that are wider than most peoples' screens. What's more, don't post massive pictures of filthy grotty po*n or anything in case people are at work. By and large, just remember to be excellent to each other. Be all civil and pleasant. Keep your tongue firmly in your cheek and get a nice thick skin.

Step 9: Signatures

      ...should be small and tasteful. Massive graphics plugging something you're selling are a right royal no-no. Text is very much preferable.
 
Step 10: Avatars

      Your profile pic is how people picture you, so choose something good-looking, funny or interesting. Pretty much anything goes, just make sure it isn't ugly or annoying and fits with the tone of the forum.

   

Step 11: Drama

Used properly, The Forum can be a tool for good. If used for overblown, melodramatic weepy Emo nonsense, it's ruined and needs to be scrubbed clean. Learn to relax and take everything in your stride. Noone's on The Internet to get all stressed and angsty, we're all just here for a good time. So leave all your haughty drivel at the door.

Last but most important

"Celebism" is a new religion with some radical fanatics working actively on a movement to convert all humanity into it and later worship them. This is only way to get enlightement in the TV yuga. It is amazing that fanboys are ready to dedicate several 150 pages worth of appreciation threads to these Celebs. If you ask them to write about our freedom fighters or their own parents, they will not able to write more than 150 words 😕

What is the whole fuss abt moderation and all in a Rules topic?

IF COC --

Posting messages that are inflammatory and made simply with the intent to provoke disruption to the forum and encourage, incite or continue 'flame' threads. 'Trolling' posts will not be tolerated. Posts that are disruptive and destructive in character will not be tolerated. Flaming is deemed to include insulting, personally directed criticisms and/or posts that include comments aimed to incite anger. Trolling is deemed to include posts aimed to incite disruption or stir up trouble. For example, posting to a thread or starting a thread without the intent to contribute positive suggestions or comments. Instead, the aim is negative and disruptive comments.

I guess it's pretty much clear msg that ALL kind of Positive Criticisms on anything is allowed in India-forums.com..Most of the time criticisms become negative, destructive in nature.. And that's a very simple point out here ! Mocking/Making fun of Celebs would not result a positive feedback anywhere and it only breaks the confidence to improve for that particular celeb..

The rules are absolutely right and upright justful because few nembers have the tendency to bash in the quote of 'Criticizing'... And that's where trouble starts.. Fanz are capable of handling criticisms.. But making fun throughout or mocking at them n terming it as 'criticizing' to get away with warnings is disgusting 👎🏼

Thanks for the necessary steps Moddish.. 👍🏼 Appreciate it much 😃

Is that so 😕 I always thought that its the members who can do what the hell they want and it was the Moderator's job to hassle them 😆
