It would be nice if violent/gross avatars and signatures from horror movies would be banned. Not everyone is partial to them and that's why movies have a rating system so people who don't (and shouldn't in respects to youngsters) want to see those images, can't.

SIGNATURES: Everyone here is going oppose large signatures first. Ok, me starting from the same, ofcourse sig's size should be controlled, it gets very irritating sometimes when we see only the sigs everywhere on the page. An easy way to do this is to disable forum codes in sig. Since it will disable images at all, most ppl will oppose it as they are accustomed to huge, fancy sigs.


AVATARS: About avatars, it is clearly written of Avatar Upload dialog "Images must be of the type, jpg, jpeg, gif, png, and have a maximum file size of 75KB" while i have seen avatars of sizes greater than 1000KB (animated gifs). They take plenty of time to download. I think it is also a falut of the uploader who does not check the file size before uploading.


USERNAMES: Prohibit using sacred words like God (God_Girl) and foul words like s*xy (S*xyBabyGirl) in usernames too.

I need to explain something here, whats wrong with God_Girl. God here is is used as adjective (in english rules) meaning Girl exalted to the rank of God, just as Pretty Girl. In urdu we say 'chand chehra' meaning 'the face as beautiful as moon', 'chand' representing the quality of the face.

Here is a common name Abdullah, where Abd means 'banda' in urdu, but that does not mean to 'man', 'woman', 'boy' or 'girl' at all which are just sex distinguishing words. Abd means 'obedient' and 'worshiper' in english (for Allah). Abdullah means 'Allah ka banda' or 'Allah ki bandagi karnay wala'.

Now someone may say it means 'God's Girl", then as i wrote earlier, it would mean 'Allah ki larki' (Allah's daughter) and not 'Allah ki bandi'. It is not equivalent to Abdullah. It is very common in urdu as well as in english to say 'Aslam's girl' or 'Aslam's boy' meaning Aslam's daughter or Aslam's son.

Not anyone would mean intentionally either of the meanings i described above, but care must be taken while using such clauses. They may create doubts in the minds of the members.

So the rule should be to prohibit such use of these words whether intentional or unintentional. I hope you got it now.


REFFERENCES: About serious discussion I would say that, while quoting somthing, ppl should also include refferences to artiles/books from which they are quoting, to minimize the possiblity of distorted information, and to give proper credit to the source.


SENSITIVE INFO: Any information such as your address, e-mail or phone number should not be posted in topics because it can raise security issues. Some ppl do it at the end of the post or in their signatures. Though it does not happen very often, but it should be clearly mentioned in forum rules.


FLOODING: It is mentioned in forum rules:

Flooding has always been taken seriously anywhere on the Internet and we are no exception to that. Flooding involves:-

a. Duplicate/Multiple postings
b. Repeated posts from the same member.
c. Meaningless Posts for time pass which no replies r made too after a certain time.

Repeated posts from the same member and Meaningless Posts for time pass are prohibited but prohibition is not being properly practised (specially in Introductions, Sentiments and FOS). It should be properly applied.


ALL CAPS: It is also mentioned in forum rules (not very clearly):

ALL CAPS will be considered yelling & rudeness.

It is also known as SHOUTING. It is prohibited in all forums and some forum softwares automatically change all uppercase sentences to lowercase. Some members are accustomed to using ALL CAPS. All caps posts are alse difficult to read. It shoud be mentioned clearly in forum rules not to use all caps.


ADVERTISEMENT: While there is a section name 'Advertisement' for this, some members do the trick and use their signatures for this purpose to advertise all over the forums (for example, adding links to websites in sig). That should be forbidden.

restrict the number of post per day for a user......just because of that post race people makes the useless topics like spamming hell...it will also forced them to do the quality posts instead of posting only emoticons..


stop peoples to making fool others by using the multiple ID's .....im damn sure some of the users have more than 10 ID's ...If you have time you can check it by tracking there Ip's ....one person can online at same time with multiple ID's using different Browsers.


There should be some limits for Mod's too..sometimes they cause harm than good.if someone comments against them or not agree with there thoughts they block there Ip's that cause mental disturbance for users.


If you going to move any of the topic you should send a personal message to the users and explain the reason why you are moving it so he/she will never made that mistake again....moving topic without any notice seems rude and leave a bad impression about mods and admins.


If you give somone a promotion to a mod or admin ....you should first get the users view about that person by polling or voting......that will create a friendly environment...and will reduce the communication gap b/w users and mods...


make a special section...bring something interesting in that section like music,movie clips,historical moments or a voice chat section or anything else but should be interesting........
that section should be password protected ..give the access only to those persons who will post quality topics and posts.....keep an eye on the posters if someone will post 500 (or whatever the quantity is) quality posts ...give access to that member..



make invite your friend section.....if someone invite 100 of his friends for joining the forum give him something special ...could be a special avatar or something special written besides his avatar or anything .

HI Bazi...And All Others...Up AboVe


Umm...I think the big pics seem like an issue...I wouldn't mind going with the flow on that one.

It's nice that ur asking us. Thxz

Another thing...Someone else mentioned Privacy...very important.

I think...that viewer details should not be given...
like type of computer...internet source. Its ok for the admin/mods to have it...but not for everyone to see...I feel very uncomfortable.

I think words like stupid...should also be blocked...with foul words. (personal opinion...no offense to anyone).

Ne thing else...Ill be back

Take Care
