Dear fellow members,
I am sure all must be waiting for my response to this thread. Sorry for the delay.
1. This thread has been posted in wrong forum. This kind of topics are discussed in About Jatland. So this thread needs to be Moved( I shall look into this later.)
2.
I owe No explanation to anybody here. Mr Nitin Dahiya had asked me to be a Moderator and he must have had some confidence in my decision-making thus nominating me a Moderator. If any, I owe explanation to Only him. Nobody else.
3.
I am trying to make certain things clear here, as the person who has started this thread is very new to Jatland and does not seem to know much about its functioning.
Most of the issues would be solved If new members take some pains to read the Archives of Jatland. Why threads are closed, why people are given warning/infraction, why someone has been Banned,...... most of the Why's would be answered. It would surely help.
4.
The said thread has Not been Deleted as has been claimed here. It has been
Closed, which means people can still read that thread. Only no further replies can be sent to it.
The Original joke posted was:
आपणी नुक्कड़ आली दुकान पै, एक जाट हलवाई खाली कढाई मैं कड्ची घोटन लाग र्या था...
लोग बाग़ आते जाते या सब देखन लाग र्येह थे...उनमें कई JATlanders भी थे, त एक inquisitive JATlanders त र्याह कोण्या ग्या...
...वा बोल्या...
...र.र.र..डाकी के बनान लाग रह्या है...
...
...
जाट हलवाई बोल्या...
chuthia
I would like to know HOW MANY MEMBERS HERE ADVOCATE THE USE OF WORDS LIKE ……. HERE ON JATLAND.
This thread was Deleted by one of the Mods because of this word.( I would have sent an Infraction too with at least 3 points for using such word here).
I saw the original post as the Mods have this advantage of being able to see the Deleted posts.
The person posted the same joke again simply replacing that word.
When a thread is Deleted, the person should look into the reasons why that happened.
As a Mod, I read all new posts daily. The Title of the thread was same as earlier and in Devnagari script. Titles in Devnagari script create problem with database. Hence I decided to change the Title. But since I was to close this thread, ( yes I had decided on that), I had to change the Title from Devnagari . Hence I changed the Title to
Halwai ( Jat Halwai is another joke by some other member) so as to mark that this was the joke which had been posted earlier and writing R R R Daaki….. didn’t suit in Roman.
It was not because of the Halwai being a Jat or not, made it a Non-Jat joke. Anybody can be in any profession. People misunderstand me when I say :
"Simply adding Jat with Halwai does not make it a Jat-joke.”
IT IS NOT AN ISSUE OF A JAT BEING A HALWAI. THE WORD CHUTIYA IS THE REAL REASON THE THREAD WAS DELETED FIRST AND WHEN POSTED AGAIN REPLACING THAT WORD WHICH MADE ME CLOSE IT. Why people who claim to be mature and educated individuals have to be told that this is not the kind of words/language you should be using here?
Please go to the Archives and read the numerous jokes posted there which have been Closed as they were considered Non-Jat. You shall know what we mean by a Jat-joke that should be posted here on Jatland.
Maybe one should go to Wiki where DND ji has put up a good collection of Jat-jokes

Anybody wants to Discuss the Accountability of Members???
I have had issues earlier too regarding the use of such words especially with Mr Sid Chhikara.
I greatly admire his writing skills, his command over the language and knowledge on various subjects. But when I objected to his using some obscene words in his posts, he went to the extent of making a personal comment like – I behave this way since my daughter too visits the site. So I do this moral policing.
Yes, I was hurt by this comment.
I wanted to write to him then gave up thinking – maybe when he has kids, he might someday realise… But I have no hard feelings for him.
This is all part of the job I do here. Before agreeing to be a Mod, I was ready for these brickbats too. So many times I just choose to ignore rather than responding.
BUT my silence should not be mis-understood as some weakness.
My daughter no longer visits this place. She hardly has time for this.
There was a time she used to learn some Haryanvi thanks to the Humor section. But I do not encourage her to read any jokes here any longer.
5. If members have any problem/ grievance, they need to write to the Admins/
http://www.jatland.com/forums/sendmessage.php
Then they can use the PM facility as well to contact the Mods.
Besides being a Mod, I too am a member of this site.
My scrapbook is Not for anybody and everybody to come and paste anything there. Just like any other member,
it is My wish whom I choose to write scraps for me. I cannot allow everybody. Period.
It was I who asked Satyeshwar ji to close the option for Friend request for the Mods as this would lead to people accusing us of being biased towards our Friends. Moreover, it would be annoying to those whose friend request I would reject. Then the Mod would be termed arrogant too.
I did not think it necessary to respond to the PM. People would want to know Why??
Here is the PM sent to me by the person questioning my accountability:
shame on you
ch ch ch so said...who made u the editor...
cant hv guts to reply me back...even deleted the option of visitor's msg...so tht no one can see wat i posted...shame on you...pathetic.
I thought it better to Ignore.
6. And Jatland does not run on any one members’ personal opinion. Its about taking more than 10,000 people together. Is it not an achievement in itself?
7. Regarding Mr Goyat’s crap
I did not want to make it public but since that issue has come up, I need to talk.
What does it mean when you want to talk to a person in PM in Chaupal and the other person does not respond?? Does it not mean that the person is trying to Ignore you??
But Mr Goyat would not understand this. He tried talking to Ritu in PM which she did not like and asked him to talk in Main( this PM issue has been discussed in another thread too). Ritu and some other members present there including myself tried to make him understand this but he would not listen. After arguing with him for quite some time, Ritu left. Then he started commenting on her and when he refused to stop, I had to
Kick(yes, this is the command) him out of Chaupal. He was given almost an hour before he was kicked out.
I don’t need to bring in witnesses here to justify my action.
I think this is the longest post I have ever written on Jatland.
It should not be seen as emotional outburst of a Female Moderator.
I am a Jatni from Haryana.
This is all I have to say.
Regards,
Bharti.
