Yeah, this forum is becoming impossible to read. The text looks like someone took a sausage and just stretched it out forever. I honestly thought it was just my browser acting up, but now I see it’s happening to everyone... All because of these pointless ads for hair growth serums and stuff.
Man, they’re brutal! I used to be a smoker myself, so I totally get the struggle. When it’s banned—it’s banned, period. It's easy to just accept the rules when there's an actual penalty involved (like in most US offices, schools, hospitals, banks, or restaurants). But the second people find a loophole? They fight tooth and nail to smoke wherever they want. It’s classic addict syndrome—where the "drug" becomes more important than anything else 😁 Honestly, being a smoker, you almost prefer it when it's prohibited! Because deep down, you know you're poisoning yourself less
Is there any way you could just ask them to cut it out and explain how much it’s bothering you? Honestly, sometimes smokers don't even realize how much it can actually mess with someone who doesn't smoke... The truth is, non-smokers get hit way harder by the smoke than smokers do—since they're breathing it in constantly, their bodies basically build up a tolerance and handle it better. If it makes you feel any better, just think about how things were 50 years ago. People smoked everywhere: in boardrooms, staff lounges... just all over the place. Back then, non-smokers were seriously in trouble!
Maybe it’s all in our heads, but from what I can see, plenty of people struggle with this. Honestly? I think it’s just a built-in defense mechanism. Pills aren't exactly "real food," right? They aren't something our bodies are meant to just munch on. It's like the system sees them as a foreign object rather than nutrition, so it triggers those rejection reflexes. For those of us who grew up swallowing pills without a second thought—we don't have that issue. 🙂
It’s kind of like smoking. That first cigarette is gross for everyone—you're coughing, gagging, feeling like you're being poisoned by nicotine. But once you get past that initial shock? You can take it just fine.
You can actually just do this through Chrome. If you go into the advanced settings and then just click "proceed anyway" (you might have to hit it 2 or 3 times)
I honestly feel like Google is low-key sabotaging this forum just to push their Adwords... they probably want those ads front and center, so they're displacing everything else. That's just my two cents, but I feel like there's something going on here... Or what if they're actually slipping some phishing and Malware into the ads on the site?
@Dana Nelson thanks for standing up for Feriha's honor! It might sound silly since she's just a fictional character, but while we're watching this show, she feels real to us! And that whole thing you wrote is a massive LIE, a total FABRICATION that you went out of your way to enlarge, bold, and back up with clips! Nice work! Now you're coming off a bit contradictory, because while I agree we can handle different opinions, we shouldn't tolerate someone making stuff up just to drag someone else through the mud (even if it is a character from a series)
@Christian Richardson23 You hit the nail on the head. I just had to say it. That's exactly how it should be! And I’m totally with Jerry Campbell7 on that post too—except for the part where she doesn't like Feriha. 😁
Larry Lee97 said:Nathan Turner3 made a good point: things aren't fully moderated yet, so just hang in there—the decent posts will be restored. Whether you realize it or not, you're overlooking one thing I said, which was basically, "With Nathan Turner3's blessing, three moderators agreed to clear out everything starting from that first problematic post by Dana Nelson (which was reported), and all the subsequent posts that were just piling onto her nonsense instead of sticking to the topic."
I'm no lawyer like Michael Ramos4, but she and those other few people who can't stand Feriha have as much right to their opinions as you do to yours. As long as you stay on track, feel free to praise or bash the characters all you want, but let the people who disagree have their say too.
So, who exactly is stopping them? Sometimes you just want to set the record straight when she starts twisting the facts, you know? But then those posts get nuked because they're labeled as "attacks." They aren't attacks at all—just someone sharing a different perspective that’s actually grounded in reality and being objective.
Larry Lee97 said:I have to agree with that, but primarily, the people who can't stand Feriha were the ones who backed off.
And now I'm saying it publicly: Dana Nelson this is the forum hr discussing the series Feriha airing on CNN. There are different translations online; you can't lie and claim someone is trolling just because they posted a line exactly as it was aired on CNN. I just watched the rerun and saw the moment when Emir said verbatim, "Feriha doesn't execute facts." I hope someone makes a GIF today so we can finally put this to rest.
Michael Ramos4 wrote this:
Finally, Emir said it... Feriha isn't twisting the situation... clearly he knows her better than anyone. And from the start, Feriha has been twisting every possible scenario and fact... and while Emir wasn't even aware... she was lying.
I just hope Emir doesn't fall for Feriha's little spin doctor moves anymore, especially since he's actually aware of them now. It would be totally pointless to claim otherwise after Emir himself sees and knows that Fer is twisting things..
She quoted the CNN translation perfectly! But then, she goes on to write stuff that isn't even true! Claiming that Feriha twists everything... Like what, exactly? What did she twist? In this specific instance, Emir just wanted to avoid a confrontation, so he complained that she was twisting things, when in reality, she was just being honest about her situation to help him understand...
We've already commented on and explained the lies a hundred times. Nobody is making excuses for them—not even Feriha—but we get why things happened the way they did (just bad luck). But now she constantly has to be labeled a liar... It's pretty obvious who's doing that. Only the ones who hate her: Aysun, Sanem, Cansu, etc. So why doesn't Emir call her that? She lied to him, too... He figured it all out, while some people just refuse to see it because they don't want to!
Let me make one thing clear. Michael Ramos4 and the rest can write whatever opinion they want about Feriha, but they shouldn't twist the facts! One fact is that Feriha is a compassionate, emotional, pure, and honest person—not some heartless, wicked, or evil person, which is how Michael Ramos4 and a few others constantly label her! That, to me, is twisting the facts, not Feriha twisting them!
I don't want to get dragged into this debate (though I totally get why people are complaining) It's just a fact that everyone's being kicked off the thread. Normally, we'd have pages and pages of posts after a single episode, but yesterday? Total ghost town. Nobody’s posting anything—or if they do, it just gets deleted so much
I’ve got a quick question here: What’s actually the big deal? I mean, if everyone has the right to share their thoughts on this forum—where's the issue? Look, I get it—no "ad hominem" attacks or straight-up insults. But doesn't everyone have the right to take a side or defend a certain point? A forum is meant for debate, but there's such a thin line between a heated discussion and a total blowout... It feels like some people are just being way too sensitive... The moderator is supposed to be here to keep things from turning into a circus and make sure we stay on topic—not to play bodyguard for some users while favoring others... So—seriously—what's the actual problem? Because I'm genuinely lost.
Michael Ramos4 said:I guess I’ll jump into this drama too... since apparently, I'm being called out and people are starting a whole debate about my takes on this thread. Look, everyone has a right to their own opinion, right? And if having an opinion counts as trolling, then we're all just trolling each other at this point. I should be allowed to have my own perspective just like anyone else. I don't need to follow the crowd or agree with the majority; I've got my own views. That’s literally what a forum is for. Different people sharing different thoughts on every single thread. It would be insane if everyone thought exactly the same way—we’d be living in some weird echo chamber. And if anyone thinks I’m getting special treatment from the mods, they can go check my warning history and points. Trust me, there isn't a moderator alive who hasn't handed me a "gift" in the form of a penalty. So much for being "protected."
Nobody has the right to come for me just because of how I feel. I’m not out here calling people out or dragging them; I’m not a child, and I don't have time for that. Besides, obsessing over some TV show isn't the most important thing in the world for me, nor is it for anyone else. I’m going to keep posting exactly what I think. If someone can't handle my take, they can just stop reading. I don't read every single post either, and frankly, I don't care. Everyone should be able to do the same.
Who’s stopping me from hating on Disney? Just because she’s the lead doesn't mean she's perfect. That’s nonsense. I love who I love, I respect who I respect, and I’m going to write about these characters based on how I actually see them and experience the story. And clearly, I'm not alone in this; plenty of others feel the exact same way. I honestly don't get why I've become such a target of disagreement here. Are all the people agreeing with me trolls too? Because that feels like an insult to me and everyone standing by my side.
You have a point there. But let's be real: the drama started because of you—mostly because you're constantly bashing Disney. It's not just your interpretation; you're saying things that aren't even true, and that's what's triggering people. Plenty of us don't like Disney either, but we don't make it as irritating as you do. To you, Disney is basically the worst character ever written. That's how you portray her. It bugs me too, but I stay quiet just to keep the peace around here.
rustydrifter10 said:I'm going to look into why this thread was locked and see when we can get it back up and running, so please just bear with me for a little bit.
Thanks for letting us know! That definitely gives us some hope. 🙂
@IBM I don't get why you feel targeted? You're just sharing your take, and honestly, that's fine. But maybe skip the annoying tone—you know, like how Michael Ramos4 acts when he spends all his energy dragging Disney through the mud just to bait people into reacting.
Here’s the deal. There’s one person in here—specifically Tesla—who keeps posting total nonsense and straight-up lies about Fidelity from the show. When people get annoyed and call out those fake claims, she runs straight to the moderators to complain, and they end up nuking those posts. Since basically 99% of this thread consists of people debunking her weird takes, the mods just decide to wipe the whole thing and shut the thread down. So, because of Tesla and her constant drama, our discussion about the girl Fidelity is officially dead. You can tell because her post is the only one left while everyone else's was deleted. My advice? If her crazy theories bother you, just hit that ignore button. Let her shout into the void by herself. I’m calling for this unfairness to be fixed. Thanks!
p.s. I know this poll isn't official or anything, but it needs to be said. I might have gone a bit hard on the mods, but honestly—who could disagree?! It’s really just some trolls who don't even care about the topic...
I'm wondering, who actually gets to vote "no" on a poll—besides the mods? Like, who would even care if we kept the thread open? 😲 Honestly, I’m all for just opening the thread right now! 🙂
I’m totally backing this appeal—I was honestly wondering if there was any way to file a complaint about what happened here. The topic was blowing up, and then suddenly it gets shut down for reasons nobody can explain. Why not just penalize the actual trolls or people being toxic instead of 🙂 nuking the whole thread? Who does that even benefit? And for how long? This was easily one of the most popular discussions on this entire forum... 🙂:
there's zero point in fighting over fictional characters everyone should just share their own take on the characters and leave it at that☕
