Some thing to think about...

Re: Some thing to think about...

Aali Hazrat Anil Khan sahab,

First of all I must admit that the issue raised by you is pretty close to my heart as well. So thank you.

Secondly, I understand what you are saying. You often feel let down by the mods/Admin who refuse to support your position even though you are the most pro-Pakistani person I have ever seen. Bravo sir ji! Now, here is the thing. The one thing that attracts me about Gupshup and has kept me here for so long is the attempt to differentiate personal views from moderator decisions. It doesn't work 100% of the time, I assure you, but I am fairly certain mods keep trying. The way it works is, you can have any opinion you want, and as long as you can express it in a way that promotes healthy discussion, mods/Admins won't come after you even if they completely disagree with you. They can and should argue with you in a discussion but they should not delete your posts or warn you. However, if someone resorts to swearing/cussing etc, then no matter which side of the argument they are on, they will be penalized. If I wanted to be on Pakistani version of Bharatrakshak I'd probably not be here. Mods are biased here, of course, as everyone is biased in their personal opinions. However, they should be biased while expressing their opinions in a discussion, not when they are applying their mod powers to edit/delete posts.

If you are looking for biased moderators who will axe anyone who does not conform to the same opinions as yours, then I am afraid you are at the wrong place. If GS ever comes to a point like that, I can assure you that will be the death of Gupshup. Then there will be no difference between GS and dozens of other openly biased websites that cater to pro-this and pro-that views.

W'salam,
