FYI: This is from a different thread but it defines what is considered to be offensive. Please read. By the way thanks to the involved party(ies) for not continuing the mud slinging contest here. It's nice to see sajha back on track...



Since people are representing themselves here when they decide to post publicly, it is natural for others to make judgements about their cyber persona through their postings, or question them according to their representation of themselves depending upon the content of their postings.

As public posters, they hold public position in sajha. As any publicly held positions they will have admirers, they will have some who will adore them, some who question them, some will make caricatures of them, and some will write humorous pieces about them. For example, in the past we have seen people writing poems about other posters, writing humor pieces, etc.

In my opinion it is a natural progression of things for something like this to happen. HOWEVER, as soon as these humorous pieces overstep the boundaries of sajha and begins to border upon the personal lives of people - which is outside of someone's sajha existence, THAT IS WHAT I FIND OFFENSIVE.

Even when a poster is continually harassed by certain individual for no apparent reason, it will begin to get OFFENSIVE after a certain time. If a poster notifies me that something is getting offensive, I always make it a point to try to make a sound judgement on the issue at hand.

On further note, I would appreciate if anyone having any kind of issues contact me directly through email to sort out such issues than posting messages for me in Kurakani. This is a voluntary service that I am very happy to provide, but I cannot promise that I will be able to read every thread and answer back or try to solve issues by answering online. From now on I will try to solve issues on a personal basis and if any of the solutions are important enough to be posted, or if it gives rise to some valuable insights or policies, I will post it for the public. There is no reason for sajha official business - meaning policies etc to take the space of general discussions for which this site is here for in the first place.

Best Regards,
San
