I see that lately some Indian members got obsessed about the ‘banning’ issue. I for one have nothing to do with the forum management nor am I a person who would defend the management only because it happens to be of Pakistani origin. However, when things come a point of ‘banning’, there are always very good reasons behind it. There are Indian members, I would like to give an example of EjazR here, who are respected a lot for their posts and were never banned (to the best of my knowledge) as they adhered to the simple guidelines of taking part in a discussion. Expressing one’s disagreement while maintaining decency at the same time is the most desirable quality of any member. Most who got banned (Indians as well as Pakistanis and others), actually drifted faraway in emotions and crossed the line not once but several times (as you are not slapped with a ‘ban’ for the first few times).
At any rate, an argument must be dealt with an argument rather than using abusive language which would add no weight whatsoever to one’s ‘argument’. Instead of complaining about this ‘ban’ issue, I would analyze the ‘language’ and ‘style’ of those who got banned on case by case basis, and would try to avoid making the same mistakes.
I would also add that after all, PDF is a Pakistani forum hence a Pakistani point of view is sometimes given preference in certain not all matters. This is very natural and all too common in Indian fora as well.
Well this is exactly why you are so well respected amongst both Indian as well as Pakistani members equally. You always say things without sugar coating them and at the same time never being abusive.
I am just back from a ban and I know exactly why I was banned. I twisted someones id to cut a joke, which is a common thing in political satirical writing. But then not that everyone likes my style or get my jokes.
Yes, this is a Pakistani forum, and Pakistani view points will have more weightage than any one elses. But then at the end of the day its just a forum, if admins are not strict we all know how long we will take to ruin this beautiful forum.
