Section Development Team:
Channel Moderator: .Mandy.

Keep India-Forums COC in mind at ALL times:India-Forums.com- Participation Guidelines & Rules

Hello Everyone,

Here are a the rules that need to be followed in the Sadda Haq forum.

Introduce Yourself - Please do not open a new topic for introductions, use the Introduction thread stickied on the first page of the forum.

Forum Archives - Missed an episode? Want a Written/Video Update? There are stickies for the following archives located on the first page.

New Topics - Before posting a New Topic, please check to see if a similar topic has already been posted if so then continue to post in that topic rather than start a new one, otherwise its wasteful and considered spam.

Posting Articles - Like new topics, same counts for articles please be sure it has not been posted before and be sure to post the source of the article. Keep in mind that articles from TELLYCHAKKAR are not allowed and articles posted from that website will be trashed

Polls - Please do not open polls about who looks the hottest, favorite character or jodi, such polls just instigate fights on the forum and comparisons are not allowed.

No CAPS - Please note that posting in all caps is not permitted as its considered shouting

No Update Requests - Please do not post a new topic asking why no update has been posted yet or post your own without permission of the DTs. There are scheduled updaters who volunteer their time to post and its not fair to them if another member posts their own update.

No Advertising - Advertising is STRICTLY AGAINST the IF COC. Do not post links to other forums through posts, signatures and/or video links.

No Personal Attacks/No Bashing - Bashing is NOT allowed, this goes for members, characters, actors, CVs and Dev Team Members. Please refrain from taking personal digs, if you do not agree with another poster then please respond within the IF COC.

Privacy - Do not post personal information about the cast or members of the forum.

No Sexual Content - Sexual Content either in pictures or words is STRICTLY NOT ALLOWED on IF.

Picture Gallery - Please use the picture gallery to post pictures of the cast or screencaps. You can use the main forum to post pictures from special events or a specific scene you would like to discuss .

No Chatting/Spamming - Refrain from chatting and/or spamming. Do not post TFS or emoticons in response to a post, just hit the like button. If DTs find any topic turning into a chit chat thread then we will close the topic.

If you see a topic such as picture gallery where its requested NO COMMENTS be posted, then please respect that and post as many pictures as you can in one post rather than posting one after the other.

Need Help?? - If you need help finding a specific post, update, fan fiction then please use the help desk. If help is asked on the main forum your post will either be moved to Help Desk or closed.

Report Button - Refrain from taking matters into your own hands, use the report button if you see any post you feel is breaking the IF COC. No moral policing!

No Comparisons - Do not compare jodis/actors/chararcters/shows. Comparisons lead to fights and we all want a peaceful forum.

Fan Creations - Have a creation you like to share? Use the Creation gallery to post your creations instead of starting a topic on the main forum. The creations must be your own, if not then please give credit to the makers. Anyone found taking credit for creations that do not belong to them will face a WL increase by the DTs without warning.

MIDs - Keep in mind that you are only allowed one ID. Do not create another ID for voting purposes or to create chaos on the forum. Inform the DTs of your other IDs and they will be deactivated.

TOPIC LIMIT - Please do not open more than 3 topics per day, anymore than that is considered spamming

ACTOR CHARACTER TOPICS - With the permission of the DTs you will be allowed to open appreciation threads for characters and/or jodis but hate topics are NOT allowed.

Due to the increasing negativity on the forum, the Dev Team would like to remind members of the rules as well as the implement of new ones which are to be followed hence forth. We request and expect members to follow these rules at all times:

No Bashing: While constructive criticism is welcome, know where to draw the line. Do not use foul language, bash the cast, crew and/or members.

Personal Attacks: Every member of this forum is entitled to their opinion, not everyone will have the same likes or dislikes but that does not mean a member should be attacked for their opinion. Members should be able to co exist and not feel like they can't write their views about the current tracks or like for a certain character or couple without being attacked or mocked.

Character Bashing: We all have our favorites, yes even characters that may otherwise be unpopular due to their character portrayal or as a potential threat to a particular pairing. However, this does not give anyone the right to bash characters to the extreme

There is a fine line between criticism and bashing and members need to be careful not to mix reel with real by bashing the cast by citing references to their onscreen character.

Indirect/Direct Mocking of Opinions: DTs have noticed a rise in the mocking due to a difference in opinions and from now on that will not be tolerated. Members should be able to agree or disagree without instigating another member

Counter Posts: Counter posts are topics which are made in retaliation to another topic that the TM does not agree with. Please refrain from doing so, all this leads to is further negativity on the forum and does nothing to solve the issues at hand.

No Moral Policing: We ask that members not preach on the forum telling members what to do or not do. The DTs are here for a purpose and decide what is needed or not needed on the forum. You cannot stop anyone from posting in a topic, so posts like bashers stay out are not allowed. If you see anyone you believe is breaking the rules then hit the REPORT button or PM a member of the DTs for immediate action but please do not become the moral police of the forum.

Multiple IDs: The I-F Code of Conduct strictly prohibits members from having multiple IDs. Do not make multiple IDs to create chaos by bashing members/celebrities/DTs.

If members are caught with more than one ID, those IDs will be deactivated and your most active ID will remain along with a raise in your warning level by 20%

Regarding ATs and Chat Threads: Do not use ATs and chat threads under false pretenses to bash/mock/insult members or the cast. That is not the purpose of those threads and if rules are broken the threads will face a closure for 24 hours.

Quoting: Please do not quote more than 3 quotes per post since it takes forever for a page to load otherwise. Best thing to do is use the "@" symbol or delete previous quotes to limit your post to 3 quotes.

In addition to these rules, the following will be in effect at all times so please take time to go through the following posts Sadda Haq FORUM RULES , India-Forums.com- Participation Guidelines & Rules.
