Normally I would not justify with a reply since from few past incidents I have understood that not everyone will be happy with my decisions all the time. Because of that sole reason, I had included in the Acceptable Use Policy in the 'about us' page the following: "anyone having any kind of issues contact the admin directly through email to sort out such issues than posting messages for the admin in Kurakani. This is a voluntary service but we cannot promise that we will be able to read every thread and answer back or try to solve issues by answering online. If any of the solutions are important enough to be posted, or if it gives rise to some valuable insights or policies, it will be posted 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." and the disclaimer states that "Your use of the Web Site is at your own risk. If you are dissatisfied with any of the Materials or other contents of the Web Site or with these Terms and Conditions, or other policies, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Web Site." In this case however it seems like it would be beneficial for me to post it publicly since some people seem to be interested in it. Each time in the past that I have had to ban someone, the reason was simply that the individual's goals clashes with that of sajha. Sajha.com is here to promote harmony and to bring diversified Nepali Communities together. Many minor issues are ignored with the hope that in due time things will take care of itself. It is only when some people continue to indulge in behavior that create disharmony and create an atmosphere of strife that I have to take necessary steps to ensure that other general users are not affected by few individuals who insist on trying to make the sajha site/chat room a playground of their inconsiderate behavior. The following is from yesterday's chat that let to banning Mussolini AKA Vlad_The_Man - who, when I personally reqeusted - because I had received complaints from few other users - to not indulge in deceptive behavior replied with the following: (Vlad_The_Man) I'll deceive as many people as I want, as long as their real lives aren't concerned. (Vlad_The_Man) I get a laugh out of it. Basically, sajha is here to serve the greater good of the Nepali virtual community and if it cannot serve the whims of few people who cannot appreciate why sajha is here in the first place then I have to take steps to ensure that the sanity of sajha is not threatened by these individuals. Mussolini then went on to post his concerns in sajha kurakani. At one point in sajha's past, someone had posted things from the chatroom into sajha kurakani and we had made a decision that it was not right to bring things from chatroom into discussions since they are two separate entities. But in any event, I did not delete it hoping that maybe it would open a dialogue regarding chatroom issues. It was fine until Mussolini decided to play foul by stating an outright lie that moderators of sajha pursue banning when they don't get digits from ladies - which he claimed as a fact. I urge any lady to come forth who was banned cuz she didn't give her digits. In any event, it's clear by his acknowledgement in chatroom and his past and present postings in the forum that his goals and sajha's goals clash very heavily, as far as bringing together people goes. Hence we have to set the ban in place. Best Regards, San
