A lot has been speculated and said here which requires a response. First and foremost, Temporal is not part of monitoring and filtering interacts on Chowk therefore he has no conflict of interest and is free to post his independent opinions on Chowk.

Secondly, we will be introducing new ways to address the issue of managing the interact space on Chowk and will expect all members to participate in maintaining the openness of interactions here.

Sincerely

Re: # 234

Chowk-Staff: Your brief appearance was neither convincing nor appealing. Probably, you should introduce a mechansim to reduce the current and future speculations :) The simplest resolution to this issue will be to offer Saleem a role in moderating the posts/interacts on Chowk. Point to ponder.

salim saheb #208 :

I apologize for any inconvenience that I may have caused you in my attempt at being humorous…Please, kaha suna maaf…Sincerely, Salim

...i know it must be difficult for you to utter this apology…earlier you had promised in your comments to tahmed and others that you’d try to stay above the fray…i hope that you are sincere in your intentions…and wish you courage and resolve …we are what our moms made us to be…and i have inherited a zero tolerance of abuse towards women…

…i realise that it is too much to hope that all of us become the best of buddies…but at least we can display the maturity, grace, strength and tolerance to put this behind and enhance the pleasure of visiting chowk by maintaining civility and cordiality all around...

...it pains me that other interactors who have nothing to do with this get caught in this downward spiral...my sincere apologies to them

Hamid,

Perhaps you should ask who is:

1. nypd
2. queen cut and paste
3. iron mask
4. dotty
5. montag
6. mittwoch
7. donnestag

etc. Would you believe these and about a hundred more nics belong to ONE interactor?

Re: hamidm #213

I am not included in the credible list? Or am I to be lumped into the ``others`` category? Tsk, tsk, tsk, I am hurt and my feelings are horribly wounded. Perhaps I should take a hint and leave permanently.

Re: # 226

fuzair mian,

......... of course you are on the list, as are many others ....... to be honest, i didn`t pay too much attention to what was happening on this thread since i was busy stalking urstruly ! ............ i also don`t pay a lot of attention to the multi-nicks until somone points it out because as they say ``meray baap ka kiya jaata hai``......... but sometimes it is too blatant to ignore because then i feel that my already rather inadequate intelligence is being insulted .......... i simply don`t understand the need to hide behind a new nick - it ruins your credibility (the c word again !) ............... personally i was ticked off when i had to add a 2 to my name when the chowk people made the change ........... i still stand behind everything i said as hamidm ..........

Tbhai,

re:

``…there were other women before sadna who just could not hack this and left…sadna, zahraj, saminasha, scout etc. are the fiery kind of new urbane educated no-nonsense women who have shown they can not only stand up to these delusional psycho misfits but can also go the distance toe to toe, deliver the knock out punch and brook no non-sense….more power to them… ``

My my bhai sahib (fanning herself)...you sure know how to make a woman feel like a devi...

Someone should write an article about credibility on the FP - i think the repetitive use of the word has diminished its value

Dear T-Bhai:

Aapkee khidmat mein phir se pesh hai!

Top ten reasons to (de)bait a poet

10. They won`t know when a subject is just useless.
9. They won`t know when the rival is nothing but stress.
8. They won`t know a thing on how not to show.
7. They won`t know the places – never, never to go.
6. They won`t know the lots of “bus..” and “hush!”.
5. They won`t know the lot that is clamoring to rush.
4. They won`t know a cat if it hit them on shin.
3. They won`t know a cat if it bit them on chin.
2. They won`t know a cat with nine hundred mice in “payte”.
1. They won`t know a cat if it made THEM a bait.

#214 by temporal

I am really disappointed in your post to Dost Sahib

“this multi nick is not the first one here to abuse women interactors…others in the past have indulged in those sort of reprehensible activities hiding behind the safety of cyber anonymity”

I have been an infrequent visitor for over a year now but what you wrote shows the culture of this site. This is really disappointing that chowk staff completely failed to check this common behavior and this problem still continues.

Your expectation that people show restrains is wishful thinking. People don’t come here for some idealism or meet some goals or promote some relationships. People come to the site to learn a little about Pakistanis or Indians. They are not idealistic. Internet chatrooms are not for some serious business.

Discussion boards need monitoring and strict enforcement of some ethics and guidelines. Posters have no interest in this not on this but on all sites. People post whatever they want; it is the moderator’s responsibility to maintain the guidelines strictly.

In chowk’s case, Staff/moderators have failed and it is apparent from your post that they allowed this behavior to continue due to their lax moderating.

Sorry, but the chowk staff will have to clean up their act. But, as you said it is their site and if that is how they want to run it then who am I to object?

Thanks.
