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!

Indeed a Seperate forum is good, but what about some other different thread which goes ot in political discussion ?
And it would be nice if atleast 1 member of Administration panel is there to respond queries which many times in a day member ask/suggest by tagging them, instead of ignoring many & answering few.

You are certainly talking about enlightenment which is never going to come. A political thread can never be within the best interest of all the parties. https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif

Would strongly suggest 3rd option. https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

Option. 1

Till now few people ( nearly 200 ) could have debate on them, as the policies were silent on them. If we made it authorise by any way, we should think whether in any form they r in the best intt. Of us ? Helping us ?
keeping in mind the nature , claims and noise , mostly unverified in the media. Of course it will add another dimension to Dd , but we should examine whether we want to go in that direction. Till now Dd has tolerated all kind of vocabulary , I Dont know why ? Will that be continued and enlarged in new sub – forum ? I am worried for the degradation of quality Dd is handling like slums of Mumbai creating all kinds if civik challenges to the administration.

The nature of debate till now were based on news not on the academic knowledge or any research, does the current users are mature enough to behave like a panelist or will they give a new platform like TV debates ?

3) Move them to a different Forum so interested Dimers can participate.

And only those who subscribe to that Forum will get to see the updates https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

This will atleast reduce the unnecessary discrimination and discussion https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif

1. You should not trash it as it is against Free Speech.
You should respect others point of view whatever it may be !!

2. You cannot let it be like that as it sometimes leads to a lot of spamming which needs to be controlled !!

3. You should make a new Forum for it as whosoever wants to go through it can do so without spamming Dost & Dimes Forum !!

Further you should start penalising Dimers who post their Topics in wrong Forums on a continuous basis !!

Just went through your original post and noticed something. In your original Post, first option is “Trash It. .” however first option in your poll says “let them be as it is”. Sequence of options in Original thread and poll is different. Anyone who goes through your thread might end up selecting the wrong option if he does not read the Poll again. Infact, I wanted to choose the “thrash” option however i think i have mistakenly selected something else.

Have a query, If they are moved to different forum will the posts be visible or appear in “Recent posts” ? If they would then i would opt for trash option otherwise if they don’t appear in recent posts then would like to opt for 3rd option
