Hi All,

Recently, there was a change in our discussions with so many new members get into forums and they do not know earlier culture we do have here at forums. A lot of daily news are floating like tsunami on our forums, and it looks like a daily news paper than a discussion forum.

Many members are unable to cache the floating discussions which are ended up unanswered or 1-2 answers. The sad part is people leaving the forums and concentrating on other parts of the site. That made us to rethink about our strategy of allowing news items.

From here onwards, please follow few guidelines:

1. No news items on forums unless they are most important and need discussion here.

2. No more link backs to other websites, if found posting such news links on forums continuously, your account will be blocked without any notice.

3. No more one liner statements like I agree, I like it, Yes, I too agree, Good post, great post, nice topic etc which are not at all useful to anyone. If you would like appreciate someone, use Thank You button below the post.

Hope you all understand and bring back the energy on forums.

Everybody should start any site after reading and accepting the rules and regulations.
Ya, good move, its very irritating to find news items here. I think you should ban sms language also.

What is sms language?Kindly explain in details.
Actually on some forums they have installed software which detect short answers and stop them from posting, most of them limit to 60-80 characters.

Sms language is not allowed in forums. Sentences should be grammatically correct. Also, never provide words like....U,V,Y.....in forum to indicate words. You should use them as full words having meaning. It is strict.

SMS language is like single letters eg : y, u, v, whr, wt, hv, etc., so, this kind of sentence we already not using in forum but, better make it as a rule.

Really good, to see always new topics in the forum.

Now I believe in Dual Identities...

Take it easy because I have read it before some time only.And of course, I am new, give me a time to settle.

It's not an irony anymore.Take a time to judge anyone.

I apologize for being too harsh. But our frustration level has crossed all bounds due to a particular member (not you). All my comments were on a lighter note and not directed at you. Take your time to settle, but until then, please don't indulge in answering 6 year old posts which have no scope for discussion. You can even view the posts without necessarily answering and when you feel you've something nice to add, you're always welcome to post. Cheers!

It's a great move. Hopefully, this decision will remove the monotony caused by news articles. I don't know about others but I usually refrain myself from commenting on it because I have nothing serious to add to continue the discussion. Thanks to admin.

Shampa , this is a six year old discussion that is of no relevance today ..Admin is hardly to be seen , thats why things have been going hay wire here !
