Derogatory Remarks On Topix.Com

[JasSinghKhalsa]

Waheguru Jee Da Khalsa, Waheguru Jee Dee Fateh

I did a google for Sikh forums and the second search result was topix.com. Quite unfortunately, I was shocked to find it as an unmoderated / uncensored forum on which all sort of disgraceful people are posting comments on Sikh Gurus / Sikh Maryada and using slang language in quite an easy way. There is no control of topix.com on any of such threads, and repeated sending of Feedback to Topix.com have all been in vain. Also, there is no contact information of topix.com on which it can be contacted.

Khalsa Jee- we need to take a serious action on this URL as it is providing a open unmonitored platform for any body to post any slang. As per Internet IT laws, I believe no body can provide a platform for disgraceful people around the world to post any slang language on preachers / Gurus of any religion.

Dear Mahan Singh Jee,

I have sent them the feedback 3-4 times with links to derogatory threads, but no action by them. I believe they are running a low-cost model and have left the forums un-monitored / un-censored.

[sunnyji]

I was active on Topix Sikh forum around a year ago, trying to act as an unofficial moderator, but to no avail. There's just too much derogatory stuff being posted ALL the time. I even contacted them to ask if they could assign me a moderator position, but they did not reply.

The behaviour on that forum is disgusting, just as equally from people calling themselves "Sikhs", but who spit out filth as bad as others.

Some sort of action needs to be taken, I just don't know what

Best course of action is to contact the isp of the web host and register complaints, the guys at topix are deliberately leaving their forums unmoderated to gain popularity. All religions all races all sorts of subjects are abused, this is not just a Sikh issue.
