Yes ghazalz. Mods are weird creatures they are selective and very moody sometimes. After all they are human just like us. Depends on which day you get which one in which mood..
Mods : You cont live with them & you cant live without them!
As I concluded the issue by reading the comments above;
painther posted a topic regarding some International achievements of some Indian students and it has been deleted...
I personally feel sorry for that painter...
But it happens occasionally...
Once I had posted an 'Eid Mubarak' note for people in ‘ Qatar Living Lounge’ and it was removed by the big Boss he directed me to post it in religious teachings...
Sometimes the changed layout of a post keeps it alive whilst the other thread with the same stuff got removal before...weird and tricky.
A lot of Indians (including me) have congratulated the girls from pakistan for their achievement. I don't see why the same warmth could not have been extended by people from Pakistan - I know them to be big hearted. (Ofcourse, cricket match is totally different) :-)
If I were hosting/managing a blog I would really care that posters don't feel insulted - I feel many Indians are sulking and feel offended. Moderators should clear any misconceptions.
painther the source you quoted was US state department. They clearly do not want to show that westerners are here! coz then they could be become easy targets!..:)
Yes it was related to Pakistan girl’s achievement. It so happen that this morning when I open QL, I saw a few congratulatory posts; I did post there and in the sametime (regular morning news update) saw related news in TimesofIndia; obvious result was a new thread; but it’s utterly wrong if any1 thinks it’s “in response” , it’s just related.
As far threads related to Qatar, we can get hundreds of threads not related to Qatar and routinely violating QL guidelines. I have no issue if you comment adversely on my threads and later they are deleted; (supposedly you may be one of Mod, No issues). My threads are not my kids, they’re just my thoughts; someone may like it someone may not.
But RATIONALITY, if persists in QL, needs similar comments on many such posts, some of them are listed below. else I’ll live with perception that some people here are biased, fake preacher.
lol... now it feels like the gali scene of my town where two fellows fought for a girl claiming her to be their GF while she had a BF, who was none of them...:)
Its actually not only mood...but personal likes/dislikes as well. And then, there are those who would take action against any QLer if some 'friend' ask them to...even at midnight.
Note to People who think my post are prejudicially deleted :
Please do not take it as offensive, seriously. I don’t take ‘em seriously. Thanks anyway for concerns!!
How to over come?..simple? remove Logic part from it and make life “easy”. This piece of advice is applicable to rest of your acts in Qatar too including QL.
Never read 'em. Thought the only logical rule is to post comments which are polictically correct - just as one would do so outside the virtual world. Guess a lot of users vent out their frustration on certain people,nationalities,Co's hiding behind their QL identity.
RJ...and you think the Mod heard it...lol... in the last 3 weeks or so atleast 4 of painthers threads have gone down...the issue was raised but yet today another one went down just because mod FELT it was in response to the other thread. No proper justification, just post in Indian Group...WHY???
What a pathetic and prejudiced view on posts "I'm betting it was only posted in response to the Pakistani girl done good thread yesterday"... so if two countries have something in common to share the one posted later is in response to the first. BTW why should it be of concern to Mods so far it is not violating the guidelines, written or otherwise allowed.
Ah, the Indian kid thing. Well , it means nothing to me, probably nothing to Filipinos, Germans, Aussies, etc, but may mean something to Indians, so where's the problem? This is QATAR Living after all!
yeah, even the nationality likings of each mod and when they are online...seems time to unmask these mods who sitting behind screens unleash their racism while at the same time appearing very tolerant on forums.

learn from the Mallus, they dont post in their language in the main forum :)
MBK, what about Desi westerners??
we need a seperate group for them too...?
source http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/5437.htm
why are topics related to cricket,football,It etc, etc not posted in their respective groups?
Is it that the MODS have been caught out in this specific case?
It's 'others', MBK!
Excuse me there is no westerners in that grouping above.. I am sure that the westeners here must account for more than 5%?
Ethnic groups in Qatar:
Qatari (Arab) 20%; other Arab 20%; Indian 20%; Filipino 10%; Nepali 13%; Pakistani 7%; Sri Lankan 5%; other 5%.
(source http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/5437.htm)
QL may be just following these trends; whats so great in it??

LOLz HGL :D
Paint(Her).....Can't really enlighten you with details on QL. You know, the QL Guidelines ;)
lol... now it feels like the gali scene of my town where two fellows fought for a girl claiming her to be their GF while she had a BF, who was none of them...:)
pain..ther.. I feel yah buddy!
Khattak would you enlighten us..on midlight stuff?? must be spicier enough for all of us :)
Its actually not only mood...but personal likes/dislikes as well. And then, there are those who would take action against any QLer if some 'friend' ask them to...even at midnight.

Life will be simpler, happier…. :)
PS : Plz do not make it Mod bashing thread.....
**painther offering ROSES to Mods mode**
Khattak and you know so much wat happens in the midnight...hmmm...something fishy !
The new rule is "No RULES" and Moderation is based on the mood of the MOD...
Khanan thats an old rule. The OP is about new rules.
Khanan tell us something new...:(
Never read 'em. Thought the only logical rule is to post comments which are polictically correct - just as one would do so outside the virtual world. Guess a lot of users vent out their frustration on certain people,nationalities,Co's hiding behind their QL identity.
yes so that the topic gets hijacked. Hijackers are never banned in QL :(
lol HGL.....
s_isale i poke for a reason....:)
Should I remind of QL "Rules" :
English on Main forum and Don not Hijack!!
hahahaha...:)
HGL, he like to poke his head in all matters no wonder his hair never grows :)
Yeh sudharega nahi...:)
English: now don't hijack...:)
Thankz s_isale !

Chill out in the lounge. Hang out here with friends from Qatar Living and chat about anything unrelated to the more "serious" forum topics...
लाउंज में बाहर चिल. फांसी कतर रहते हैं और अधिक "गंभीर" फोरम विषय से संबंधित कुछ के बारे में बातचीत से दोस्तों के साथ यहाँ से बाहर ...
لاؤنج میں پرسکون. رکو... قطر کے رہنے اور مزید "شدید" موضوعات کو غیر متعلقہ چیز کے بارے میں بات چیت سے دوستوں کے ساتھ یہاں سے باہر
Courtesy of Google Translate. I dont know how far it is the actual translation
s_isale i meant this :-
"Chill out in the lounge. Hang out here with friends from Qatar Living and chat about anything unrelated to the more "serious" forum topics..."....:(
Rizku translate what?
if you want to translate go use
translate.google.com
either implement the rules in a fair manner or dont implement at all.
anything relted to technology should be in the technology group,
anything related to football in the Qatar Football group
cricket in the Qatar cricket lovers group etc etc....
s_isale can you translate tat in Hindi/Urdu ? :(
I am not in my country group, does that mean I cannot post anything related to my country in the general forum?

Has the meaning changed or is my understanding of English poor???
RJ...and you think the Mod heard it...lol... in the last 3 weeks or so atleast 4 of painthers threads have gone down...the issue was raised but yet today another one went down just because mod FELT it was in response to the other thread. No proper justification, just post in Indian Group...WHY???
well thanks tinker
there's a saying .. u can straighten .... tail ;)
time to move on Guys...
hope we made our point to the related mod.
Bingo :)
Khattak...sure, it is.
HGL...I'm sure it had nothing to do with the Pakistani Girls thread or QL Guidelines. The problem was that...it was posted by painther...isn't it?
ROLF!!!
What a pathetic and prejudiced view on posts "I'm betting it was only posted in response to the Pakistani girl done good thread yesterday"... so if two countries have something in common to share the one posted later is in response to the first. BTW why should it be of concern to Mods so far it is not violating the guidelines, written or otherwise allowed.
What is up with this insane dude?
to assume that what's happening wherever is not related to wherever.
pls. no names or personal targets SS
well its seems that way :)
Good day to U B2D
Rony, seems we cross in cyberspace!
Oh, and I'm betting it was only posted in response to the Pakistani girl done good thread yesterday. Must be a Pak Mod!
@B2D does this mean anything to u

i am not against any of these threads, just putting my point across
moreover its better to have country related news in related forum BUT that should b a rule not exception
Ah, the Indian kid thing. Well , it means nothing to me, probably nothing to Filipinos, Germans, Aussies, etc, but may mean something to Indians, so where's the problem? This is QATAR Living after all!
See here: http://www.qatarliving.com/aboutus
s-isale - it all depends on MOOD oops i mean Mods
90% of discussion taking place in the QL lounge is not related to Qatar. There are so many out there who are not members of their ethnic groups.
the latest RULE
"POST ONLY IN RELATED GROUP"
anything not related to Qatar should not b posted on the main forum
It's too early to talk about nonsense.
&feature=related
What new rules are you talking about?
there is no rule..
depends upon which of the Mod is active at the moment and his mood...
yeah, even the nationality likings of each mod and when they are online...seems time to unmask these mods who sitting behind screens unleash their racism while at the same time appearing very tolerant on forums.
rules violation is there everywhere. its not just a distinct feature of Qatar
that means users will need to know the rules for the mods rather than the rules for the users
And even if there are rules. In Qatar they are normally violated at will.
Rules, what rules? Mods are above the rules in QL.
Post in "Funnies" group plz....:)
Agree.
