Hey Dimers,
We have allowed political discussions to thrive in Dost and Dimes forum but based on some current comments/Messages/alerts by Dimers, We had some internal discussion and could not come to a conclusion.
We would like your opinion to come to a Final Conclusion by Saturday, June 13th 2015.
We have created a poll and would request you to kindly participate in the same:
How should we handle Politically Strong or Politically Motivated threads in Dost and Dimes or other such Forums?
1) Trash It. Dost and Dimes Forum should have no political discussions at all.
2) Let them be as it is. Dimers not interested can ignore those.
3) Move them to a different Forum so interested Dimers can participate.
As far as Religious threads goes, We have decided to simply not allow them as we strongly believe that religion cannot or should not be debated about.
Comments are welcome. Lets all decide together and whatever the community says will get implemented.
Regards and Have a Nice Sunday!

This is another reason for voting for “Option 1: Trash It” if you want to actually avoid political discussions.
No Politics plz .Politics is dirty.All parties play games at some point. Basically they are indefensible. And when they are criticised the loyal followers feel bad.This happens offline and also online.When both bjp & aap were not in power they used to enjoy the huge( and rightly so) criticism on tthe internet. Ab criticism pachaane mein sab ko problem ho rahi hai.DD shud not allow political discussion, coz it causes rift between dimers.Also nobody is taking away the freedom of speech since there are so many other places to do so.
Well I guess topic related to BJP and AAP should not be allowed in DD. Because I have seen all the political topics are related to these parties. And then the topic creates war of words between supporters of both parties who tries to defend their faith in their political organisation by giving copy paste work and links.
@mr.lonely, @piyush2251 Going by the vote count after my vote, one of you has forgotten to actually use the voting feature visible at the top of this thread (on the desktop site). Please do vote to support your comments.
I am in the opinion that political discussion should be allowed but on DD people’s response based on two things
1. No loot ‘ahem’ going on lets gung-ho on politics
2. Rest behave as paid employees of political parties.
I have less hope that in future it will lead to mature political discussion.
So in better interest for the community it should be trashed.
I will vote on desktop site later.
I have not voted till yet but I will definitely vote. I was just making a point and I think you will also agree by my above statement.

Voted for 1st. But I would still like the discussions if they can be avoided in recent posts.
People who are not interested in a particular thread topic can ignore it. The thread title clearly says what u can expect inside.
I am sure no one opens ALL the threads of this forum or any Forums for that matter.
was anyone forced like this to open and comment here ?

@DAN You have already said enough. Now hear it from the users who tried hard to ignore your propaganda.

Let’s see what happens. I have casted my vote and i selected the third option. Have to wait for final result.
Whatever you guys decide please atleast stop their appearance at recent posts , it’s too irritating otherwise i can happily ignore and no complain with any political threads.
Hope the people voting for option as another forum do realise that it will still appear in recent posts

Just like everyone, you are allowed to cast your vote on this poll. That is how you speak your opinion.
@soccergiants Relax, bro. As per @admin’s post, dimers have 6 more days to vote, i.e., until June 13, 2015.
By the way, since you voted for option 3, see this: http://www.desidime.com/forums/dost-and-dimes/t...
@admin Is my understanding of your statement correct? You wrote, “We would like your opinion to come to a Final Conclusion by Saturday, June 13th 2015.”, which is a little unclear as far as the voting deadline is concerned.
Not Voting
already voiced some thoughts
http://www.desidime.com/forums/dost-and-dimes/t...
if it were in a separate area like the Desidime blog or rides on a Wordpress type interface then even the concerns of @mrp hater @corsair etcetera will get addressed AND not directly strain ‘forums’ area.
@Farzimaal too has a point, accessibility only to select people based on some criterion (subscription, authorisation)

I wanted to choose the “thrash” option however i think i have mistakenly selected something else.

hope there was an implicit ’’here at Desidime" implied at the end of the sentence. Religion, Power and Politics have always been intermingled. Hopefully a cohesive decision is made A N D implemented.

@admin

if you are not comfortable with comments in this thread, take a hike from this thread and don’t show up again . Nobody wants your opinion here anyways. This isn’t one of your threads buddy , so stop preaching us here like you did in your threads. This poll is specifically created by admin to get our views on some of the nonsense that was going on in “dost and dimes section” in the name of politics. The way the poll results are heading to, hopefully none of us will have to put up with your gibberish again.
Oh, I don’t give a damn if you call me a hypocrite.

let see what happen next
@DimerAbhi I’m damn sure u might’ve voted for option 1 as that’s ur favourite (Delete)
Guys! Just because someone supports a party which you don’t, doesn’t mean that he or she is wrong. Its just a different point of view.
There is no harm in political discussions in dost and dimes. Even if a different head is allotted for it, people who voted for trashing it will go and check what the hell is happening out there. Its called inquisitiveness ka keeda. I can only imagine the nuisanse if option 1 is enforced. Because then some dimers will find fault with even profile pics, troll pics – anything which has political impression on it. Remember, there is no discussion at all unless two contradicting voices. So if you don’t want a discussion, don’t get involved. Learn to ignore things. You cannot control everything in this world. The more rules you make to simplify things, more hectic situations you will face eventually.
And whats wrong in political discussion? It actually helps you forming an opinion in the long run. At one stage of life, a son can’t talk many things but if its politics they can talk about it all their life. You can’t keep explaining deals/loots with your parents after a fortnight but you can discuss political news and tidbits all your life. And you pick up those tidbits from here and there. If you are mobile 24×7 on desidime, you need to pick up those tidbits from here as well. Look at history, its mostly politics only.
If you dont like politics its either because you don’t understand it or you have seen enough of it. What’s the problem in discussing it and make yourself or others aware of it?
Will continue later..
And BTW admin bro, whatever you will do, some will always find faults with it.
Inko inke haal pe cchod do, do din mein sab satar ho jaayeinge apne aap They will find their own equilibrium.
@Plato Agree with you IFF these threads doesn’t show up in ‘Recent Posts’
@admin First of all, please accept my sincere thanks for finally conducting a vote. You have reinforced my conviction that the administrators do care about the wishes of the community.
I have voted with Option 1: Trash It.
There is no place for political discussions on a shopping and deals forum. People interested in engaging in political discussions or propaganda are free to do so among their politically-inclined peers on one of the many dedicated internet forums.
