Updated Rules & Regulations
Write Up: *Shruti*

As more & more members are joining out Kasturi family everyday, its time we put up some Rules & Regulations. Please try to follow these rules so that we can make the section better.

Below are the Dev Team Members of Kasturi,  incase you want to contact them.

Moderators: *Shruti* , Kiran  (Incharge of the section)

Below are Rules of the section.

Introduce Yourself-As new members are joining Kasturi section day by day as the fans of the show & Robbie Kasturi/Raunak Kasturi pair is increasing day by day, I would request members who are new to the section to introduce themselves in Introduce Yourself thread.

Organizing Contest/Activities: If you want to organize any Contest/Activities in the section please consult with the Dev Team & take their permission. Don't posy any contest or conduct any activities without taking DT's permission.

New Topics-Before posting a new topic, check using the search button to see its not posted already otherwise your topic would be deleted or closed.

No Update Requests-Please be patient. Do not create topics asking for written/video/picture updates. The updates will be posted as per the updater'ss convenience.

Updating-If you want to do written/video update for PR any particular day then please PM the respective updater a day in advance & take their permission so that the updaters efforts don't go in vain. Anyone posting the updates without permission his/her post will be trashed.

No Advertising-Videos from other forums/websites containing the website logo are not allowed. If found doing so the topic will be trashed & a PM will be send.  If you continue to do so even then your warning level will be raised. Also posting links from IF in other forums is strictly prohibited.

No Personal Attacks/Bashing-Everyone have their own point of view let's respect it. You have right to raise your opinion but one should see lines ain't crossed. Avoid making posts that are abusive, derogatory, insulting or sarcastic enough to affect the sentiment of another member. This is against IF COC and won't be tolerated.

Bashing any actor/actress/CVs/members is not allowed. Make sure members know the difference between bashing and criticism. A critic is one who discusses things in perspective, never loses objectivity and states things in a logical and constructive way. But a basher is one, who states the points a bit too heavily such that, it no longer looks like criticism but looks like a total attack.

If we find any member bashing up or instigating fight in the forum a warning PM will be send & if they continue to do so their warning level will be raised.

No Comments-Do not post replies or comments under topics, which bear the phrase, 'No Comments' in its title or within the post. 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 hit the Like button.

Posting Email Address of Stars-Accounts or email address of stars is not allowed to be posted or revealed unless they themself give it. Also, posting your email address on open forum is not allowed.

Posting Articles- Before posting any article please check to make sure that the article has not been posted before. IF has launched its own news hub Telly Buzz. We are now in direct competition with IndianTelevision & Telly Chakkar. See to it you do not post articles from these two websites. Do not post articles from Telly Buzz directly on forum. Provide link/source of the articles.

Consecutive Replies-We often see members replying individually to 5-6 replies. This is considered spamming. Please use @ format to reply. Once in a while it's fine but not always. Avoid doing so.

Topics of Comparison-Please refrain yourself from creating topics that may lead into fights. Topics like  'Who is better suited for the role' or 'Which show is better' or 'Who looks good' etc. Such topics will be closed down.

No Chatting/Spamming-Refrain yourself from chatting/spamming on the forum. Don't to start your personal chats in threads opened for various subjects/discussion topics. Please try to stick to the topic title when posting replies. If you want to can create a separate thread in chat Club section & chat there but chatting in discussion topic is a big NO.

There is separate section named Chat Club you can chat there. Don't post topics that are not related to the show Kasturi.  Don't spam any thread repeatedly with emotions.

Emotions-Do not type message or post reply full of emotions only. Emotions 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. '😃')! Messages containing only emotions  will be deleted.

Quoting Posts/Members-Don't quote long posts especially when it messes up the coding which makes it look bad. If you want to reply to someone use the @ format like @A:  , @B: & so on.

Posting your Creations-Some members have opened their creations gallery in the section & keep on updating it from time to time which is better as one can find creations of a particular member in one thread itself.

So we have decided members can open their Creations Gallery in the section & keep on updating it & the direct link of the all the creations will be put up on page 1 of Kasturi Collection Centre

Using Signatures-As per the rule a member is allowed to use three signature of which one can be animates small. Do not use wallpaper size signature in your signature. To know more in details you can read NEW RULES & REGULATIONS of Avatar & Signature Section.

Robbie Kasturi Hub-For all Robbie Kasturi jodi fans, we have opened a thread which is dedicated to Robbie Kasturi wherein you will find Articles, Interviews of Karan Patel & Shubhangi Atre along with Video Mixes, Fan Fictions, Siggies, Avtars & lots more only in Robbie Kasturi Hub.

Raunak Kasturi Paradise-For all Raunak Kasturi jodi fans, we have opened a thread which is dedicated to Raunak Kasturi wherein you will find Articles, Interviews, Video Mixes, Fan Fictions, Siggies, Avatars & lots more only in Raunak Kasturi Paradise.

Episode Discussion Thread-It has been observed that similar topics of discussion is posted after every episode is aired. So we decided to start a separate topic where all the discussion/views/thoughts regarding the episode will be posted.

By this way we can find everyone's thought about the episode under one thread thereby making the forum look more organized. All the Discussions about the episode will be closed down or moved to Daily Epi Expertise/Analysis CentreI

Archive Mansion-This is a thread wherein you will find all the important links like MOTW, DOTW, Contests, Update Archives etc. You can check Archive Mansion to find important links related to the show.

Use Like Button-Every often we see members posting thanks or tfs or one liner instead of using the Like button. The Like feature has come in place of Thank You feature so that spamming could be alleviated. Saying thanks, tfs, etc constitutes to spamming. If you have nothing more to say apart from thanks then you can thank using Like button.

Query/Help Desk-If you have any suggestion/queries regarding the show/section then please post it in the Suggestion/Query/Help Desk 

Kasturi Collection Centre- In this thread you will find link to all the Fan Fiction, Video Mix, Robbie Kasturi/Raunak Kasturi scenes.

Reporting Topics-If anyone sees a thread/post/comment which is offending posted by someone, you will NOT take law into your own hands to teach a lesson to that person for insulting your favorite idol. That aggravates matters more and you also become liable for action for reacting thus. Instead you will simply make use of the "REPORT" button and report the thread by stating the reason clearly. As soon as the Dev Team comes online they would take the necessary action and try our best to resolve the issue.

If you have any doubts/suggestions/objections regarding anything then feel free to PM me[*Shruti*]

Regards,

Kasturi Dev Team

In past few days we have observed members bashing up characters, calling them by names that will offend the fans. IF is a free forum & everyone have right to put in their views, however sadly some members are taking advantage of this. The Dev Team has to edit many post in past few days.

We have also posted a topic that we wont tolerate any actor bashing & neither any one addressing character with names which offend the fans like wolf, puppy face, BB or frog face. IF we see any more of actor/character bashing with offensive words this note is considered as an Official Final Warning,  the WARNING METER will be raised with  immediate effect. No more Final Warnings via PM's henceforth we won't tolerate any more attack which is offending for fans.

Below is link to the post to the previous warning.

We had said this earlier also but even then we see some members not following the rules. This is a Final Reminder for everyone.

We have said many times not to post long quotes but even then we see members doing it. If you want to reply to a member reply, you can use the @ format to do so. Like @A:  , @B: & so on. We have a separate section named Chat Club where we have created Kasturi Chat Club. Discuss things related to the Episode only in this thread. Refrain yourself from chatting. All the chatting topics will be trashed by Dev Team without any notice. We often see members posting consecutive 2-3 replies one below the other. This is considered as Spamming. Try to edit your previous instead. Don't spam any thread with smilies. We have often see member quoting things & replying with only smilies. This is considered as spamming. No comparison between shows Kasturi & KTH. We had made this clear long time back. is link to that post. Don't write in capitals as it is considered shouting on Net.
• This is Final Warning. Henceforth if we see any member not following these rules then his Warning Meter will be raised directly!!

Some additional things that needs to be pointed out.

Post prediction in Prediction Corner only.
• If you want to discuss about Robbie/Kasturi not relating to Episode but in general you can discuss it in Robbie Kasturi Hub

If you have any queries PM any member of Kasturi Dev Team [sweet_shagun, khushix or *Shruti*]

Thank You

Kasturi Dev Team

ANYONE found bashing or cursing the DT or Creatives of the show especially Ekta Kapoor or any Actor will earn a Warning Level (WL) straight away. At least think before cursing someone so badly just for a FICTIONAL show. Try and control your frustration and learn to be patient.

Bashing, mocking, name calling, instigatory criticism or any sort of vulgar comments or posts on Kabir and his family won't be tolerated at all and will again result in issuance of WL straight away. Any sort of nicknames or funny names for Kabir or his family won't be accepted at all either.

Keep comparison topics like Who is better actor, Which show is better etc away from the section. They are the best place for a battle ground and hurt other members feelings.

Any topic posted that is not related to the show will be trashed straight away. This includes apologies and inquiries about new members coming on the forum or any other irrelevant topic.

Due to this change in track of the show many of you have been upset but this doesn't mean that you start bashing any actor. Remember This wont be tolerated at all and will also result in WL being given straight away. Kindly keep your posts limited to your favorites only.

There have been umpteen number of threads regarding the time change.The time slot change was mutual decision of Channel & Producer of the show. As a channel/producer they did what they thought is profitable for them which any channel/producer would do.  If there is any loses because of it it's them who are going to suffer not US. They are spending money on the show and have right to take decision about show's future.

There are too many petitions, mails, emails topics floating on forum. Check this link before posting such threads. Before posting any new topic check first 2-3 pages and see if similar thread is there or not.

Have issues related to DT take it up on PM. This section is to discuss the show and not these matters. Want to discuss the same with members again do so on PM's. If found posting such topics members would face action. Leave such action taking part on the DT. See no such off subject topics again gets posted here.

Any sort of bashing, attacking or mocking fellow members won't be acceptable at all. If you are found doing so, be ready to face strict action. Welcome the new members wholeheartedly rather than being rude with them and taking up fights with them, be they not belonging to the same fan clan as you.

I have seen many members deliberately trying to instigate fight on the forum by simply posting emotions such as 😡 🤢 only. This is also referred to as spamming and will again result in strict action being taken as you'd be committing two offenses; spamming & instigating fight.

Any sort of bashing, offensive, mocking or instigatory posts, in general or deliberately trying to upset the atmosphere of the forum, won't be tolerated either and if you are found quilty of any of the above mentioned, be ready for the WL then.

Instead of taking everything in your hands and start fighting be sensible enough to hit the 'REPORT' button and inform the DT about it. Anyone found adding further fuel to the fire in threads where fighting is going on will also face strict action.

When you open a discussion topic do check if the same discussion is going on or not. Please don't open separate topics discussing the same subject. It makes the forum look untidy. Such redundant topics will be closed.


1. Lastly, anyone found going against the I-F COC will face strict actions by the Dev. Team (DT)
