NDTV Blogs - Issues raised with NDTV and the reply.
Dear Shyam,
We already have moderation running on comments but have not implemented the same for posts because that would infringe on people's right to express their opinions freely. I understand that there are certain mischievous elements who write improper stuff on the boards and our team is working towards checking post content.
Thank you,
Vikram Johri

Dear Vikram Johri , Please go through the blogs posted for the past 4/5 days.Only filthy uncouth dirty third rate language is used in the posts and comments.While we all agree on the freedom of speech , this streches the limit.Is it possible for you to moderate content.Even CNN IBN edits comments on blogs posted by their staff.It is time you guys have atleast 2 staff members to moniter the content and filter or block all messages which are not meeting a certain standard.Today some one has posted about mf: iam so embarrased to even mention the word.please take action ASAP. regards,

I think we are getting hyper-sensitive. There should be no moderation of any kind. Let anyone and everyone say whatever they want in any manner whatsoever. If we think it is carp, we can skip it, can’t we?. Many of the so-called uncouth postings are actually colourful. We can quite see a prankster behind them or a fellow who is feeling left out expressing himself in crazy ways. Let the readers be the judge. NO CENSORSHIP. FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IS THE BEGINNING OF CREATIVITY.

I have been watching with dismay the Posts and remarks for the past few days.I have not been active for the past 3 months due to work constraints and when i started to view the Posts I was shocked with the content which made me disgusted. I had written to NDTv on this issue and Vikram Johri has been kind enough to reply immediately.I had in the past exposed a blogger for manipulation with regard to the post of the day.However with a Good Intention I have refreshed the page.I dont have any plans of posting content on this blog space in the future and this is my last post.However i would definitely visit the site and post comments.Regards and happy blogging,
