wa 'alaykum salaam wa rahmatullaahi wa barakatuh
Like Admin said, certain changes will come with the changing of the site inshaAllaah. And we may apply some changes within the rules based on that, and it's already been in discussion.
I think what needs to be kept in mind is the position and situation of people as well. What we've wanted to make with TTI is a place where people can try to come together inshaAllaah and make it productive but also 'relax'. Based on that...
I personally think a nasheed section is o.k. There was a time I was against it based on the fact that it was a waste of time only, and it's too hard to moderate sometimes to check for Music (although alhamdulillaah most our users are very compliant with that). But one has to realize that yes, even though you might hold the opinion that anasheed are makrooh, or not generally liked, this opinion can't be pushed on all others.
As for the Users making "friends" with the opposite gender, I'll just be upfront that when I first joined TTI and up till now, I've hardly paid attention to that aspect. If someone adds me, I usually just add them back without much thought before it. Now it's come to a point where I might feel it more appropriate to be more 'selective' - but the fact was, the 'friendship' thing was never really thought of as 'friends' up until this point.
As for being real 'friends' then this of course is not allowed, and at this point I'm fine with deleting them off my own profile, but with generalities, I think this was/is a defunct portion of the site. We'll see inshaAllah in future.
Politics section. Part of me thinks it's important, Part says good riddance! This is just a personal feeling though.
And finally, word games. I think they are misused unfortunately. I think they have potential to be alright, but they often escalate to insane proportions. Maybe in future we can set up these games in individual bro/sis sections - so that they can have fun and be free about it, and the 'games' in public be more serious or productive minded to give less space for a 'free-mixing' or 'playful' attitude which sometime arises, and in between brothers and sisters should not.
Allaahu 'Alem though.
for bringing your concerns to the table akhi. If there are other suggestions from our brothers and sisters here as well, then do provide them, and inshaAllaah if/when the site is brought under some changes... some considerations may be taken.
