Enforcing chowk interact guidelines

Topic started by chowkstaff on Aug 31, 2005 11:24:07 am

This post is to acknowledge all the comments and remarks for improving the interact space on Chowk. We believe the combination of following two recommendations will be most effective and have clearly stated how these will be enforced. Please be informed.

1. Each interactor should use a single identity on Chowk
2. Chowk guidelines should be enforced more rigorously

Here is how we plan to enforce these guidelines:

1. Multiple ids of registered interactors will be removed
2. Posts containing crude language will be filtered and removed in extreme cases
3. Interactors posting abuse, attacks, and hate etc. against other members will have their interacting privileges suspended for a short period and the specific comments will be filtered or removed

We invite and welcome you to share this responsibility and enable us to apply these guidelines by informing us (using the feedback form) of specific instances with references of user ids, article names, and interact numbers.

The feedback link to send can be found in the footer of each page as well as on top of the interact box.

Now, let us move forward from here.

Either multiple nicks are allowed or they are not...

And if they are not allowed then what the hell is this?

where is sadna...champion of women’s cause...



Started by khamkhwa. on October 23, 2005 12:51pm PT

...when temporal, a pakistani, questions the kind of women who create monsters, sadna gupta raises a storm...but when her countryman salim chauhan makes false allegations against one of the great pakistani ladies, she is found nowhere...is it because asma jahangir is a pakistani and a muslim?...

this is the thread started by salim chauhan...
Asma Jahangir was arrested yesterday for shamelessly copulating with four Ukrainian relief workers in a tent that was meant for survivors.

this also shows the caring side of mr. chauhan who was seen crying on 10th october,at least that is what he was telling every one on UP about the tragedy that befell pakistan, and today he is making fun of the ukrainian relief workers...hypocrite thy name is salim chauhan.

scout #34 #35

’’khamkhwa. has never cheered salim for insulting any woman and it is as wrong for you to say that as it is for khamkhwa. to pick on you.’’

scout, it is not as wrong. I agree that khamkhwa has never cheered Salim, and has spoken up when Salim has been obscene. He has spoken up for me on other occasions also, I appreciate that.

But if you see the thread I posted and others in the past, he has never similarly denigrated Manto or anyone else Salim was actually tangoing with, esp. while ’arguing’ with me.

Yet khamkhwa has been happy to insinuate , on this thread and the one I posted in #12, that I of all people was teamed up with Salim, or at least ’befriending him’, ignoring all the befriending going on by others.

On the thread I posted, the befriending couldn’t be more obvious and khamkhwa couldn’t be more blatantly dishonest in his game. On that thread it was Manto who sympathising with Salim and Manto accusing me not only of manipulating Salim into posting obscenities about myself but also of writing to chowk staff and getting Salim banned. Yet khamkhwa was accusing me of teaming up with Salim.

This is jhooti makkari and nothing else.

CHOWK STAFF...
I OPENED THREE THREADS ON 15 SEPTEMBER 2005 BETWEEN 2-33 PM AND 2-34 PM PACIFIC TIME.IT IS 5-40 PM PACIFIC TIME NOW. I HOWEVER CAN NOT OPEN A NEW THREAD DESPITE THE PASSAGE OF 24 HOURS WHICH MAKES A DAY. I AM WRITING IT IN CAPS AND SINPLE ENGLISH TO MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU TO COMPREHEND. YOU HAVE IGNORED MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT OF SIMILAR NATURE ON 14 SEPT 2005 THEREFORE, I AM WRITING ONCE MORE TO SEEK A CLARIFICATION FROM YOU ABOUT THE NUMBER OF HOURS IN A CHOWK DAY.

MOREOVER THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE INFORMING THREE THREADS IS GRAMATICALLY INCORRECT WHICH MAY BE RECTIFIED.
QUOTE’’Dear khamkhwa.,

Your topic has not be posted. You can start upto 3 new topics each day, since you have already reached this limit we suggest you participate in existing threads instead of starting new ones today.

Chowk Staff,
You have not answered my complaint about the multi nicks of JagdeeshGodbole and JohnGalt. Everyone, including you, knows that he is using both of them. Please delete these and ban JagdeeshGodbole for violating Chowk guidelines with mulitiple nics and profane language. I gave you the references earlier.
Thanks,

Dear chowk staff
Well,in that case if Miss Saminasha applies this rule equally on all interactors.Why is she quiet about SCOUT.This interactor ,called Scout have posted names,work place,personal information about my self hundred of times.
Why Miss Saminasha was quiet for SCOUT????
This lady,called Miss saminasha cries out loud only,when it comes to herself.
Why nick called scout was allowed to post personal information about myself?
Chowk Staff
On the contrary I always snubbed breaking confidentiality about Saminasha by those very interactors.
Thanks

Dear Chowkstaff,

My suggestion:

Those violating the stipulation regarding multiple nicks should also have a ban slapped on them for a duration of your discretion.

dear chowk editor/s...
being incarcerated in solitary confinement for unknown sins was quite quizzical...if you know what i am saying...have a suggestion...next time whenever i or anyone who is banned should also be provided a reason that so and so was banned for 48 hours for his interact # so and so which exceeded the chowk guidelines...that way, the culprits know what brought them to the land of the dead temporarirly...

Chowk Staff,
Please be fair in enforcing your new/revised guidelines. Both Saminasha and Salim_Chauhan were banned for not following Chowk guidelines (the actual crime was posting UP junk on FP, God Forbid! toba toba )

Meanwhile, the following is still intact under Ali1 thread about ’’least incredible.’’:

Whos has the least credibility on chowk?

ali1,

since when did he declare himself as my protector on chowk... i don’t think you read his post carefully, you just joined the idiotic bandwagon and started clapping like a hijra

everyone knows the women of chowk dont’ need any protection from any male asshole , it’s understood

now if you didn’t like his poetry, that would be another issue

#26 by scout on August 31, 2005 6:19pm PT
apparently ali1, you’ve also been butt fukked by salim, explaining this reaction to t-bhai’s stand against the namard


Now please be fair. Otherwise, we are right back where we started. If Scout is not banned for using these obviously profane and vulgar words, then others will try to do the same or even outdo her filth. Then you will ban those people, while keeping Scout’s nic intact. This will cause people to get multiple nic to evade your one-sided enforcement.

Please be fair. Or was that just PR stuff you said about the ’’new environment’’ on Chowk?

Thanks,

Salim

Chowkstaff...

Sadna is operating under two other nicks:

1) Orangepeko

2) ThisMantolies

While both of them might suit her... in reference to your own policy of disallowing multiple nicks, I ask you to remove both these nicks as promised

As per your point number 1:

This is clearly another nick...

Please remove it.

Chowk Staff,
In the thread started by ali1 about the least credible Chowkie, I found these two posts very offensive:

#29 by scout on September 1, 2005 5:09am PT
{’’...everyone knows the women of chowk dont’ need any protection from any male asshole...’’}

#26 by scout on August 31, 2005 6:19pm PT
{’’apparently ali1, you’ve also been butt fukked by salim, explaining this reaction to t-bhai’s stand against the namard’’}

Temporal Sahib,

Two points to note:
1. I think she is including you in the collection of recti :)
2. The profanity, vulgarity, bad taste are worse than ever. I wonder if Chowk Staff was serious about the new policy.

Thanks for noting. ;)
