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!

Guys, I see some sore users on this thread who are afraid that their ability to do “mindless bickering” and debate useless political propaganda is going to go away on this Deals and Shopping portal. But let them not ruin your forum experience anymore.

Please vote with “Option 1: Trash it!” to keep this forum clean and to avoid unnecessary negativity.

If you are on the fence, this is why Option 3 is bad: http://www.desidime.com/forums/dost-and-dimes/t...

And let’s not forget that if and when the administrators do develop a feature to completely ignore particular subforums, political topics always lead to hostility among certain members who maintain different opinions or support different political parties. And this hostility invariably shows up even on threads present in other subforums.

AFAIK, the poll closes at midnight, i.e., in about two hours. I encourage you to vote for “Option 1: Trash it”.

if I were the returning officer, I’d reco CEC to forfeit your deposit and disenfranchise you for ten years. And you’d get a show-cause notice to boot! Which may go like.. Aap ne ‘aachaar san’hita’ ka paalan na karte hue, campaign4ng kari hai.. Aap ki jamanat jabt kyu na ki jaye,?


or something like that.

better option would have been to limit the options to just 2

1. in favour
2. against

of political threads


and roger that to you too. You infact are terming the election process itself null n void. Changing the rules at eleventh hour.

You know what! Even better option would have been..

For admin to take a skiiing holiday in the Alps..
Or the Himaalay..
And leave this place to its devices..by saying

I am going to Himalayas..and all of you can go to H



if people are not civilised, or are opinionated and inward looking, then ‘nothing’ can stop flare-up.
They will continue to make a mess without reason.

I don’t care about any keeping or quashing of ‘any’ thread, be it religious, political or trading or anything.

But do feel that a better forum is only possible.. if the better side of forumites comes out rather than the avoidable sides of their personalities coming out.


And frankly its not like I am indispensable. People come, people go from the world also. Desidime won’t stop by some people going (or being shown the door) nor they are fully dependent on Desidime.

If people know what is good and what ought to be avoided, then policing isn’t needed. And if they dont know or dont want to implement it, THEN policing can never be effective.
[general statement, not pertaining to Desidime alone]

its deal site

why other threads such as jokes // memes // fun facts what have they with deals

either allow only deals or deals + all stuff

but treat politics separately

politics is most important thing for the rightful developement of country

@logout You seem to be on the fence and have abstained from voting till now. Please read the reasons I have mentioned in this thread a few times to discover whether it makes sense for you to vote for Option 1. Cheers!

i am 100% sure people has multiple ids and they vote for option 1. how there is such increase in option 1 in last few hours. This is unfair for others dimers who voted sincerely. This is a type of duplicate voting and cheat https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_sad.gif

@admin either move them to completely different section (comments of which doesn’t come in recent posts) or completely remove them. I voted for trash as that was better in my point of view.

Scenario:
case 1:
1 > 2 + 3 ==> politics not allowed at all

case 2:
1 < 2 + 3

but 2 > 3 ==> things will not change

case 3:
1 < 2 + 3

but 2 < 3 ==> new sub forum likely to created for political discussions

@roger that You are making a fool of yourself by trying to change the rules of the poll when things are not going in the favor of your opinion. People are not stupid. Everybody understood the implication of choosing each option. And they have spoken in large numbers.

What’s this “1 > 2 + 3” nonsense. There are 3 simple options in this poll, whichever gets the highest vote gets implemented. That’s how polls work. Don’t be ridiculous!

By the way, no offense taken to your previous comment. FYI, the critic badge came as a result of who I am and what I post, not the other way around. Hope you can understand that. https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

How’s it not in good faith? For all I know, a lot of people exchanged PMs about this thread, including me. Are the users being offered some bribe or incentive to vote for a particular option?

Don’t tell me the incentive is a cleaner, less hostile forum. https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_lol.gif

Bro, if you need a refresher on the reasons why this poll is being conducted, please see the first post in this thread. As the results prove, people are not interested political discussions. https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_wink.gif
