I believe that it was locked by an admin to stop further trolling, I cleaned it up, so it's good to go !

Hello everyone I'm new member. I just want to suggest a new thread for social problems in Iraq. I think it will be a good idea to explore and Share our Ideas and propose solutions for all the social problems going on in Iraq. Things I think the threa Should focus on. > bribery and corruption, beggars on the streets, human rights abuses, people abusing their power, why young adults choose to join armed gangs, and other problems in the Iraqi society, I'm sure most of you probably have already gotten sick enough from discussing these issues, but if we share our ideas and suggest proper solutions it might turn out to a less pessimistic thread. Btw for those who don't know me, I'm an Iraqi
Residing in Canada. Im in my early stages in university. And I'm originally from Basra.

Welcome to the Iraqi Forum alshawi!

Go ahead and make the thread if you'd like, start it in the Baghdad Cafe. Though, SSC is a site who's purpose is to display the positive sides and progression of countries. I'm sure it will make a great thread as long as we post solutions and not just state the problems.

Hi mods, I see that the Iraqi sue list thread has been locked, and I didn't even have a chance to answer any of the points raised (not trolling just clarifying what the list is about etc...) is the topic of what happened to the people of Iraq over the past decades not allowed to be discussed and quantified?

Would such a thread from other countries perspectives be treated in the same manner? All I want is moral equivalency. Does the locking of the thread indicate that the people of Iraq deserve what's happened to them, whilst citizens of other countries who are victims of war, violence and terror are innocent victims?

Hi SheytanElKebir

I don't believe that you were trolling. and locking does not imply that the people of Iraq deserve 'what happens to them' in anyway ! I think you are reading too much into this.

The thread was locked mostly because of the way of the argument was turning, and after disturbing images that were posted (by non Iraq-forum regulars). The thread was locked to avoid flamewars and problems that's all (nothing to do with the subject of the thread).

Threads are locked to 'keep the peace', not to censor ideas or opinions, if our intention is to censor, then the thread would've been deleted instead.

if you feel that the thread can be pursued in a peaceful manner, I can clean the thread up and unlock it. But it's clear from the nature of the topic that it will be a troll magnet. Something we would rather avoid.

Hi Mods.

We've had Iranians trolling the Iraqi subforum for the past few weeks and words simply aren't persuading them to move on and leave us alone. Can the mods do something about it? they are starting to ruin project threads. AFAIK no Iraqis have been trolling the Iranian subforum so a bit of reciprocity would be nice.

to be fair its only these two nimaa and souroush persepoli who are trolling. Other Iranians like shugs were instrumental in setting up our subforum!

[Ali_as]

I want to create a thread on how Iraq should help people around the Middle East. Am I allowed to do this?

The reason I ask this question is because I have seen other threads in the past being closed because of the threat of trolls etc.

yes thats what you say..
but in real life its different !
all what we want is to live in peace and alone !
but look at ur mate "Nima" or Mina or whatever his name, he keeps trolling our forms and says Sh*t like Iran controls Iraq now and bla bla !

we dont wish anyone to have problems, but we just wish that everybody leaves us alone.

[TEHR_IR]

It doesn't mean because Nimaa said things that all Iranians are bad...
Shugs for example is an Iranian and he even helped you guys with starting up your Iraqi forum!
and Iran does not control anything...
well okay I will leave you guys alone, although I didn't do anything wrong, but okay, now I see what you guys ment in the Introduce yourself thread with everyone is welcome in Iraq. bye guys
