Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017

Do not take Mehta ji very seriously. He is a politician too. :lol: He is a lot like Philip of politics. get rid of modi under the arguments of 'pseudo-hindutvavaad' for not fixing rte, temples, rjb, ucc etc and bring back sonia, rahul, mulayam, yechury, mani shankar, diggy raja, omar abdullah, peri...

Re: Forum Technical Issues

the difference is - you can only go after individuals in the case of FB, Twitter etc. The platform owners are well protected individually and can take whatever even a govt entity can throw at them.

here, the platform owners (forum admins, mods) have no protection and can be harassed.

IMO it has its place but folks need to be careful about language that looks misogynistic and try to slide everything under a "don't be PC" type argument.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017

If I make a claim that minister x said abc, and if somebody asks to source it - the response cannot be "well don't you trust the minister" or "you go disprove it". :)

Yes, I will keep asking for sources. Getting annoyed at such basic stuff only reflects on the person making unsourced claims.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017

It is going to work only that way. The source is mentioned below each figure. Over that if someone wants proof, they can find for themselves. That is not source. Source, in the context of a claim in a forum, is a verifiable piece. It is either a link or points to a link or a mention of who when whe...

Might need to setup email verification.

Atish is reporting at the other place that his name and email is taken here.

Added later - can we set a link to reset password sent to email. So original owners of email can reset and get access to their registered names?

embedding YT is fine, but should not auto play as that can be abused by somebody and NSFW stuff can load

Body count near 60. Injuries 500 plus.

I have offered to moderate. But before we nominate and assign roles, please create a simple list of things folks are NOT supposed to do. In the political thread, I listed a few rules.

Re: BR GDF Shutdown Discussion

Yes. If somebody wants to go after you, they can. It can get ugly in India if you do not have some entity to back you up in a fight (legal or otherwise)

I am under no illusion that I am anonymous here or in brf. a little bit of digging is all it will take to figure my profile.
