There are some new Objection rules. Pl. refer to Blog Post# 1889717-4 and Blog Post# 1889777-3 . To reiterate:
.
1. There are ONLY THREE reasons for Objections allowed:
a. Abusive/Offensive: Bad/rude/insulting language
b. Controversial:
...
more...
For openly and directly targeting states/regions/zones and starting fights. ALSO, violation of Site Guidelines are considered Controversial. For example, protesting against Objections, starting a new Blog against a previous Archived post, etc. are VALID grounds for "Controversial".
c. Non-Topic: For completely off-topic posts, unrelated to context and travel.
.
If you disagree with the blog, then you may post a regular reply, ignore that blog, hide that blog. NOTHING else can be done.
.
2. The reasons are VERY clear. You may NOT make your own interpretations of a normal blog as "controversial". The blog will have to be CLEARLY abusive, controversial or non-topic. All invalid Objections WILL be overturned.
.
3. Invalid Objections will be counted in your Profile Statistics. Everytime an Objection is invalidated, it will increase your "Invalid Objection" count. When the number of Invalid Objections crosses 10, Objection privileges will automatically get disabled.
.
4. So, for instance, if anyone flags a perfectly normal post as "Non-Topic", etc., it WILL be invalidated, and it WILL INCREASE your "Invalid Objections" count. Members' Invalid Objection count can be seen by everyone. When the number of Invalid Objections crosses 10, Objection privileges will automatically be DISABLED.
.
5. When the number of Objections crosses 10, the Blog Post/Reply will get DELETED (not Archived). Everytime a member's Post gets deleted, it will increase their "Objectionable Post" count. When the number of Objectionable Posts crosses 10, that member will have a "TROLL" label automatically added to their screen name - viewable by all. Thereafter, they may get banned.
.
6. If a blog post/discussion is turning controversial, but the original Blog Post is NOT controversial, then you may NOT flag it as Controversial. ONLY controversial/offensive Replies may be flagged.
.
In summary:
BOTH invalid objections and objectionable posts have a permanent penalty associated with them, applicable EQUALLY to Admins, Monitors and Members. The rules are VERY clear. Pl. use the tools wisely and intelligently.
.
Thanks.

Mahasay, if any one flags an objection to any post, the name of the objecter should be didplayed. The blogger has right to know tht which guy is objecting his post and terming it as Controversial/ abusive/ non topic. NAMASKAR

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
