Hello DDEJ - ians


Before reading the rules specific to this section further, please go through the IMPORTANT: India-Forums Code of Conduct for IF, which is in effect at all times in addition to the following rules.

New Rules recently posted by Vijay
 


Moderation: Not everyone on Development Team is a moderator. Coolbies and Videobies do not fall under the category of Moderation as they only provide written & video updates. The Moderation chain ladder is as follows: Viewbie >Moderator>Channel Moderator>Global Moderator.
 
a)     Your first point of contact would be the section's Viewbie/Moderator as they take care of day to day activities on the forum. If you have any complaints or are unhappy with daily moderation by VB or MOD then direct those to CM.
b)     In case if any members feels that a warning being given is not justified or there is an error then please pm the DT member first to sort the issue, but do not argue on the respective post and cause disruption. If you are not satisfied with the answer then please direct the concerns to CM.  
 
For any moderation issues please contact:

 
Do Dil Ek Jaan Moderation team

 


Viewbie:   -Srushti-  ( Looks after  forum on day to day basis, promote discussions & activity ,moderate i.e close/delete/ sticky topics,resolve disputes , increase/decrease Warning Levels)
 

 
 
Introduce Yourself : As members join every day, rather than cluttering the forum with "Hi I'm New Here" threads, please introduce yourself in a single  intro thread  Do dil ek jaan members introduction

 
Help Desk :  Please post all questions/queries regarding the show, the forum, actors or characters etc. in the  ||Do Dil Ek Jaan HELP DESK|| Rather than posting new topics asking for something, all questions can be directed there and a fellow member will reply to your query.
 
Updates:  ||Final List Of Written Updaters||  Updaters are volunteers who take time out of their busy life to provide one. Please be patient and refrain from posting topics demanding for updates. In case the written update is not posted on any particular day, please be patient for the back-up updater to fill in. Also, do appreciate the updater's efforts by 'liking' them and post a comment to encourage them if possible. 
 
If you want to do written update for the show any particular day then please PM the respective updater a day in advance & take their permission so that the updater's efforts don't go in vain. Anyone posting the updates without DT permission, post will be trashed.

 
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 post any contest or conduct any activities without taking DT's permission.
 
 
New Topics : Members are requested that before posting a new topic, please check at least  upt to 10 pages back to see if a similar topic has been posted. This reduces the number of repetitive posts.  
 
Repetitive  topics: Many times it has come to the attention of the DT that members create topics, that have already been discussed. For example, if you see that someone has already opened a post on SBS/ SBB or any news segment, there is absolutely no need to create a separate topic for them as anything related to the segment can be discussed in one thread only which will also keep the forum clean. In such cases, repeated threads may be closed, and you will be directed to existing discussion thread.
 
Chatting/Spamming/One Liners : Chatting , spamming and one liner topics are not allowed. Topics posted on the forum are for the purpose of discussing so stick to the topic at hand. Threads that no longer serve that purpose will be closed. Posting just to say "Thanks", "tfs" , "agree" , using emoticons only etc. is also a form of spamming and instead, use  the "like" button to express your gratitude if you have nothing to say . If you wish to chat or converse with someone, then use the PM feature or go to the Chat Clubs
 
Advertising: Posting videos from other competing sites as well as anything that contains a logo/link are not allowed and will be trashed.
 
Caps: Posting in CAPS is considered shouting and is therefore not allowed.
 
No Comments: Threads that say "No Comments" on them such as the Article Archive/Picture Gallery/etc. mean only those items are allowed. Any comments found will be trashed.
 
Quoting Posts: 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 @membername, @B: & so on.
 
Creations/Signatures : All creations (siggies/avis) are to be posted in . Signature size are to be 550x500 max. Members are allowed to use three  550x500 siggies as well as one small siggy. To know more in details you can read ATTN: Signature/Avatar Size - Guidelines of Avatar & Signature Section.
 
Please don't carry any signatures which are provoking or instigating any fan group or indirectly making fun of any member , actor or character .If DT finds any member carrying such siggy ,then the profile of the member will be edited to remove the offensive siggy and the member will be sent an official warning PM for it . All hate speech signatures will receive immediate warning level raise.
 
Multiple IDs : Members are permitted to have one ID only. Those found using another ID will have it banned immediately as well as receive a warning and may also receive a raise in their warning level.
If members are found guilty of making MIDs to bash other members, creative, actors, characters or advertise other websites; be assured of facing severe DT action such as straight ban in worst cases.
 
Articles: All articles should be posted ||Do Dil Ek Jaan Article Archives||NO COMMENTS.  Also, when posting articles, refrain from posting articles from sites such as TellyChakkar as they are in direct competition with I-F. When posting articles from TellyBuzz, post the link only, rather than copying+pasting  the whole article.
 
 
Pictures: All pictures  of the cast must be posted in the ||Do Dil Ek Jaan Picture Gallery||NO COMMENTS! . Caps related to the show (epi caps, SBS/SBB/interview caps) or from an event during the course of the show (i.e. they perform in an awards show etc) can be posted in main forum. No repeated picture topics though. What is NOT allowed to be posted is,pictures from the cast's previous shows. Posting of pictures in the picture gallery or posting caps from episodes is upto members.
 
Appreciation Threads: ATs of the cast/characters are allowed, but keep in mind no bashing or discussion about other actors is allowed in them.  If any AT is seen to breach the rules, there will be consequences including permanent AT closure. Also take the DT permission before opening the ATs. (As the DT was away when forum open so which already exists, they are ok but any new AT, please do take permission.)
 
Language: Please refrain from using swear words like 'W*F, WTH, What the Fish, BS, F words etc.  . IF is a public forum where we have members of all ages come to read and discuss their favorite shows .Please do maintain decorum of the forum . We want to invite members here not drive them away with usage of inappropriate language. 
 
Comparison : Topics/Polls comparing two actors, shows, or anything that can lead to fights are not allowed. Any thread found doing so will be closed immediately and a PM warning will be sent.
 
Bashing/Name Calling/Personal Attacks/Sarcasm
 
Bashing or any types of name calling towards a member/actor/character are not allowed. It is offensive as well as disrespectful and can hurt the sentiments of the person/fan groups it is directed at. Anyone found doing so will receive a warning.
 
Criticism towards a character and the plot are allowed and can be discussed .
 
India-Forums allow freedom of expression and so everyone has the right to speak out and give their POV, but keep in mind, you do not cross lines and get personal in heat of argument. If you disagree with a Topic Maker's opinion , simply state your own POV saying "I disagree with you for so and so reason" instead of saying "Just stop your nonsense" , "change channels" etc which comes under personal attack. If you cannot be civil in a discussion, please ignore that thread, and find another thread to discuss your views.
 
Making indirect attacks on a Member's family or upbringing or questioning their qualification in a particular field during a heated debate just because their views are different than yours will not be tolerated.
 
Bashing vs. Constructive Criticism

Bashing: an act of verbal abuse or the use of foul language that can be provocative or offensive!

Constructive Criticism: any feedback that is purely intended to improve someone else's work in future endeavors! India-forums.com Code of Conduct strictly forbids members from bashing celebrities, the characters they portray on screen and fellow members! This includes the use of foul language, as well as any personal remarks, i.e. how the actor looks like, as they have no control over it! We welcome members to share their constructive criticism on the absurdity of the series' story line and character, as well as to discuss the actor's talents, however, please refrain from engaging in any kind of bashing, which may have severe consequences.

No Moral Policing: Please refrain from engaging in any moral policing around the SC forum..  India Forums platform allows everyone to express their opinions freely within the COC and respectable limitations. Members have the freedom to express their own perspective, which may contradict someone else's POV.
 

Privacy : Posting Email addresses or Private information about the cast of the show or members of this forum is not allowed.
 
Actor's Private life: Any discussion about an actor's life, specifically their past or personal lives issues is strictly prohibited. Discussion of events/articles with valid source post the show launch will only be allowed.
 
 
Fan Fictions/ OS : At all times the most recent rules of the Fan Fiction forum apply to your creative works. Please refer to the plagiarism, graphic mature content & blog rules  *Fan Fiction Forum Rules & Regulations* and get familiar before you start posting your creations.
Don't open multiple threads for writing your single FF or OS parts unless the thread completes 150 pages . When the forum traffic activity increases in near future, then Dev team will be shifting the FF/OS threads to the Fan Fiction section once it crosses 30 pages. Rest assured Writers will get advance notice, when we decide to start moving them.

Warnings:  In case if any members feels that a warning being given is not justified or there is an error then please pm the DT member first to sort the issue, but do not argue on the respective post and cause disruption.

 
Issues on External Sites: Please keep away all issues on Twitter, Facebook or blogs away from India Forums. This means that ALL topics which involve members, personal lives of actors, anything that may lead to chaos, they WILL be closed.  
Please see the site admin's note on this concern: External Content from Social Networking Sites
 
 
If you find anyone violating any of the rules, please use the  button and refrain from replying back directly as it can add fuel to the fire. Keep in mind that DT cannot be here 24/7 as they too have their personal life. Please allow a reasonable time frame of at least 24 hours before escalating the issue and PMing a moderator.

Hey DDEJIans,

We have lately noticed a lot of "spam" posts and a flood of repetitive topics on the same topics. Hence we want to clarify few things as well as remind you of the rules:

Members introduction - When new members signs up or join this forum, redirect them to Do dil ek jaan members introduction . We do have the members intro thread to serve that purpose only hence do not create new threads to spam there.

Facebook/twitter updates - Whenever there is new updates from facebook or twitter, we do see many repetitive  threads about the same hence please take time to go through the pages before open a topic. Also check out whether its shared on this thread:  FB and Twitter Updates Thread . All new updates should be shared in the official FB and Twitter Updates Thread before you open a separate topic for discussions!


Spam - Please refrain from chatting in the discussion threads, which are meant exclusively for the topics in discussion.


I-Fs Rank -Only one weekly thread will be allowed to discuss and wish forums rank on Chaska Meter, actors rank from television celebrity weekly ranks. If you want the forum to be no 1 then start to provide quality content (about the show, characters, track), participate in GOTW, contribute for the weekly newsletter, make discussions topics where everyone can participate, funny picture captions (seek permission from the GM), blooper of the week, favorite scene with reasons, etc.

Helpdesk - Do not make "help me "or " doubt/questions" topics, refer to the helpdesk. Someone wil help you there. Here is the link -  Do Dil Ek Jaan Forum HELP DESK

Actors personal life - Actors personal life cannot be discussed unless its reported in media or any official sites which can be verified.

One liners post - One liners about the episode, actors, characters etc can be posted in the Do Dil Ek Jaan Episode Discussion Thread & Live Updates thread.


Also small reminder with regards to criticism and personal attack:

Criticism vs bashing
- When someone criticize the show, do not take it as bashing.

* Bashing: an act of verbal abuse or the use of foul language that can be provocative or offensive!

 * Constructive Criticism: any feedback that is purely intended to improve someone else's work in future endeavors!

We welcome members to share their constructive criticism on the absurdity of the series's story line and character, as well as to discuss the actor's talents, however, please refrain from engaging in any kind of bashing, which may have severe consequences.


Personal attack - any kind of personal attack/mock and digs on fellow members will not be TOLERATED!


DDEJ forum is the best forum with no fights and quarrels hence lets keep the record by also reducing the spam and make this one of the best forum on entire I-F. Lets keep our forum clean and organized!!!



Regards,

So today we saw disagreements on the forum on the Picture thread and Some confusion and dissatisfaction on why Picture threads are allowed in some forums and Some misunderstandings on some Moderator saying that Picture threads are allowed or not!!
First of all I will quote what Aahana posted before, to clarify what had transpired then.
I quote the post now

Hey Sita,

your thread were closed because we have one official thread for twitter and facebook updates from the cast; FB and Twitter Updates Thread 

Also do read this - 

The forum is flooded with offscreen pictures, repetitive updates from social networks and rank related post. We have tried to tell the members to avoid such kind of topics and to focus on topics /discussions related to the story and characters but it went in vein. We cannot write reasons to one and each unless its a new member who are not aware of the rules. 
So please use the official twitter/facebook updates thread in the future. You can open separate topics for up coming spoiler from twitter and facebook if its from a reliable source. 

I hope it helped your query. 

Topic closed!

PS! Repetitive threads and updates from FB/twitter will be closed down without note as the forum members knows the rules by now :)




This was misconstrued. And hence a clarificatory/additional rule segment is being made out so as to maintain clean forum along with easy discussion possibilities. 
These Rules are in addition to the already existing rules/Guidelines including IF COC.

IF has some rules, and if there is violations of those rules on some other forum doesnot mean that it should happen here. In other forums we have ONE FB/Twitter update thread and it is kept there till it runs to the maximum of 150 pages. In here we open it every other day. Because the situation is different.

However, a misrepresentation was made in form of other forums..As per our chat on the other thread The GM and the Section DT had a discussion and hence this rules..which are quoted will come into implementation from tomorrow.
i.e 2nd October. 
Any queries, do tell us and we will try to solve it out.

But yes, the DT bashing and taking personal Digs on the DT or throwing weight around by tossing out higher DT names, will NOT be tolerated. The DT has been polite to you and expect the same from the members. Next time, this happens the instigating members will be given Warning/ and their WL s will be increased.

Hey guys, after a lot of discussion with section DT and GMs, we came to the decision that one daily thread be opened by the members for facebook/twitter updates and everything can be discussed/shared there. The thread will be open by DT and if anyone wishes to open the thread for any particular day they can take DT's permission a day in advance.

Threads can be made on segments such as SBS/SBB/E24/IBN7 etc but one thread per segment i.e if there is a segment on RanTara confession on SBS and SBB then one thread will be allowed to discuss both the segments. This way all discussion on the segment would be found in one place instead of 10 topics on same and it will be will be easy for members as well.


 

Hey Sita, 

Yes, permission was given to open separate topics to discuss upcoming spoiler track based on pictures. But it should have proper discussion. We have many daily updates from facebook and twitter so the daily thread would serve that purpose, its easy to find and everything is under one thread. 


P.S. There can be one thread per segment on each channel but yes if a member post both segments in one post as some post SBS/SBB segment WU together at times then all discussions will have to be made in that one thread.

Hope this solves the problem!
Happy discussing!
