Closed threads in religion section

Is it me or are we over over sensitive about Qadiyani threads. Two threads were closed today in religious section. None of them had any disrespect or name calling going on.

Is discussing difference between two belief systems is a disrespect

There are non-Muslims and liberal Muslims who attack Islamic belief system left and right and it’s OK

In one thread, Mod said that original poster proved the point so thread should be closed.

In CAFE, Bolnay waley cheezain thread is 38 pages, 1100 posts, way past proving all the points, still going on

I apologize but I have serious reservations about Religion section policies. Maybe we should remove religious section, all together

Re: Closed threads in religion section

Dear Tariqlkhan

Thankyou for your valueable feedback and comment. We, the moderators of above mentioned forums are always looking forward to suggestions from respectable members.

The two threads were closed after due consideration and lesson learned from past experiences. These thread usually dis-integrate into mud-slinging match and name calling spree very rapidly. Thus we take appropriate action as we deem fit.

The judgment of moderators, however, is not perfect and we constantly need improvement. So please guide us and give your valued suggestions in this regard.

If you or any other member feel that (s)he can make valueable contribution/clarification to any closed topic, then please do contact us. we consider such request(s) on merit.

Thankyou for your co-operation

Re: Closed threads in religion section

I also hate name-callings, abusive language and what not and that certainly comes out, somewhere in threads like that

I agree with most of what you said. Although I disagree with the solution.But at the same time, I cannot think of an alternative to that. Maybe some one else can suggest an alternative way of fixing this issue.

In general, you guys are doing a great job.

I also understand that moderating the religious section got to be the most difficult job in this forum.

Thanks for the courteous reply

Re: Closed threads in religion section


Make it a moderated thread.. Simple! Posts only show after the approval of the mod.

solution is there but implementation kaY liye 1000 baar sochaiN geY :~)

Re: Closed threads in religion section

^^ and the whole fun of quickly replying would be gone. If I reply to your thread, by the time it gets posted, it would be few hours gone and ...

How about implimanting the life time ban (of that nick as well as IP adress) unless the poster is willing to apolgize, publicaly (also depends upon moderator's consent).

So a mod's comment's like...

"UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO TAKE YOUR WORDS BACK AND POST YOUR APOLOGY IN 24 HOURS, YOU ARE BAN FOR LIFE"

...might work

Re: Closed threads in religion section

thanks for the suggestion, we will look into the matter.

Re: Closed threads in religion section


there are still ways to minimize the problem... like choose people from the religion forum who are mostly unbiased towards such issues to be given the ability to approve posts (dun need an exclusive mod for such cases)... they will be guppies otherwise and not mods just with that power... you can have like enough people, I am sure. :)

Re: Closed threads in religion section

Or just stop being obsessed with qadiyanis. They are not the ones blowing themselves up in Pakistan right now. When they do that, we can start worrying about them.

Re: Closed threads in religion section

you bring " blowing up" issue in every thread.....Why?

Re: Closed threads in religion section

I think a quick search might hold the answers. And quite honestly most of us Ahmadies are sick and tired of answering the same accusations and reading the never ending attacks that are launched against our community and the personalities we revere and hold dear.

hi

Re: Closed threads in religion section

^^ I feel closer to Hanafi-Deobandi Maslak, and I am sick and tired of people bashing Deobandi, and saying deobandi/wahabis together like its a curse word.

So we should be offered the same privilage and whenever someone is putting word Mullah, deobandi and terrorist in the same sentence, that thread should be locked. It does not happen

My question is exactly this that with all due respect, why is Qadiayni's sentiments are more important and not Deobandi's equally important

P.S. Go to thre post of kehkeshan and Hareem's reply to that. That attitude is not limited to Kehke..., its all over the forum. Those threads should get locked also

Re: Closed threads in religion section

double post

Re: Closed threads in religion section

I admire Mullahs and I am sick and tired of them being bashed every now and then on this site :)

Re: Closed threads in religion section

I have seen very few threads whose title and sole purpose was to scrutanize Deobandi beliefs or where Deobandis were invited to defend their beliefs. If there were any such threads i'm sure most would have been locked. Also, the frequency with which anti-ahmadiyya threads are opened can not be seen in the case of any other sect. The issues raised in all these threads without exception have been discusses over and over a million times and most of the time the mods advise ppl to search and read old threads.

Having said that, there is no excuse for anyone to attack and degrade someone else's beliefs or the personalities they revere. But most people don't think like that and that is the reason i proposed, long time ago, that the religion section should be closed.

Now coming to the post made by kehkshan, i don't see any reference to any perticular sect. He thinks it is more productive to address issues such as suicide bombings happening in different part of Pakistan than decide whether Ahmadis are muslim or not and that is his opinion. I'm not sure what is offensive in it.

Re: Closed threads in religion section

Please read the following and if you still dont see anything offensive, then its your poblem, not mine

Posted in religion, Aug 24th,

I can go on and on with these exapmles.

Re: Closed threads in religion section

tariq does have a point.

Re: Closed threads in religion section

You were referring to kehkshan's post in this thread and that is what i was talking about when i said i don't see wot is offensive in it. I didn't mean to say that the Deobandi maslak is not bashed at all.

Now can you post the title of the threads where you copied these posts from? I'm sure most of them wouldn't have scrutiny of the Deobandi maslak as their subject. That is the difference i was highlighting earlier. In the case of Ahmadis, not every thread that contains a bashing post is closed. Its mostly the threads whose title and sole purpose is to degrade our beliefs. People could be talking about a very different topic and you could have some bigots attack a perticular maslak which is totally unrelated to the topic and Ahmadiyya beliefs are not safe from that either. I'm sure i can search and come up with Ahmadiyya bashing posts in threads which have not been closed.

My opinion is that in the case of such posts, the whole thread shouldn't be closed but the offensive post should be edited or deleted and the posted given a warning.
