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!

i just came to know that some people are appealing via Pm to several members to vote for option 1

this is bad not in good faith

@admin

a request

all those who are involved in such activites their votes alongs with whom they have sent PM’s their votes must be discarded


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


people voting for option 1 like u are against discussion related to this matter and sending PM’s at large

is this hypocrazy or irony or whatever https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_biggrin.gif (weak english )

here it is is you said yourself

u werent bothered by the issue itself u still voted against it

you were ignoring it >> so you could have ignored the poles or vote for option which says ignore it


I was not interested because of the word “politics” in it …..I am so fed up of the political discussions in the thread
and when I saw there is a poll being conducted I voted what I thought is right according to me

there are other members also in the community like gosss who supports aap but I have never seen him in any nonsense political discussions

Ha ha. You just proved why this poll was necessary! This is exactly the attitude and hostility that should not be present on this forum.

Trash it. Desidime is not a place for political discussions as per my view. There are many other places where people can do such discussions. Better, we should discuss about deals which are useful for us rather than political issues which end up into Abuses,attacks, suspensions etc.

1. A positive acknowlegment; “ok”, “understood”. Used in (old, military) radio language. Also “roger that”.

How does that matter, if anybody is using whataspp, silent tagging, pm , email or channel sub’s., the user is his/her senses, mature, independent and voting at own will.
So, this is not an offence.

However, creating I’d /duplicating should not be allowed. Anyway, what is the need for that ? All the disturbance led by dan ki adalat , who should backtrack or withdraw , if comes by any I’d or same I’d.
RIP aggressive, abusive , political threads.

@logout Please read the reasons I have mentioned in this thread a few times to discover


after reading this too i logged off as i wanted my previous response to be my last. But then i kept on deliberating and deliberating and deliberating.


and all i can say is that the frame of mind you are in presently, i am worth more than to engage with you now. Yes i may appear to be, or in reality be a fool. But for you to be presumptious, that others speak without reflecting (reading the posts) does show you in great light.

Ah! and yes, i have enough poking my different orifice already than for me to want to sit on any fence. You seem to be confusing me for a @roger that ..who has some faith (and thus expectations) in the electoral process.

.
.

I live .. ‘despite’ elections and governance. That is how INDIA is.

@roger that you indeed are a fool to have faith or expectations in ‘any’ elections. Influencing, calling and getting called names and eventual posturing, that is what elections are.
Yes, you are right about quashing versus no quashing analytics, but for you to understand the futility of doing it, you may rather get under the folds of ‘Catch’ salt (or anyone free flowing).

See, that’s another problem with politically inclined people. They see everything through the glasses of politics. This is not a political election where we are deciding which party should win. By this poll, the admins wanted to figure out if political discussions should be allowed or not considering the consistent hostility and aspersions in every political thread that gets created in this forum.

But they wanted to be completely fair, so instead of making this a binary poll, they even provided users a middle ground option (Option 3 in this case). Even with that middle ground option, the poll results prove that users are overwhelmingly opposed to allow any political discussions at all. If you want to understand the reasons for this outcome, see my post: http://www.desidime.com/forums/dost-and-dimes/t.... Capiche?

I am disappointed with whoever broke the sanctity of “private messages”. But I should have expected nothing less from politically inclined people.

Anyway, that’s the old version of the message. There’s a newer/longer message that I sent to a lot more people. If @admin or anybody else is interested, I will be glad to forward a copy.

How’s reminding people about the voting deadline and encouraging people to vote for a particular option while providing reasons for the same without offering any incentive in return is dirty politics?

There was no need to doing that.
Such mobilisers could be blamed for adopting unfair means for improving and having cleans atmosphere, which is little bit disturbed due to unwanted convassing.

For me,
If Dan is improved or ignored by others could make sense. His behavior and our non-ignorance could be the trigger to conduct the polls. Such, abusive words like gutter, cow piss, filth , shitty should be banned anywhere in the firum .
Which was not implemented, and neither useless provoking pics of micke / poopya / Dan were trashed. I Dont know why ?

Now, no one else should be allowed to so aggressive like Indian parliament, anywhere in the forum. For cleaner forum, there is no need of any poll.
