Mehfil Pakistan Rule Book

We have deleted a few rules, while added a few aswell. Please make sure you go through them, we have created them in an easy pattern so it will be much easier to navigate through them.

1) Language

English is the main and base language at Mehfil Pakistan. Considering Urdu is our National Language, it is allowed at a certain level. As long as people understand what you are writing, it maybe allowed, but not if its detailed and longer then 2 lines.

If that, then please translate it, the same goes for news articles in Urdu.

Below are the issues that are totally unacceptable:

6) Politics

Discussion of politics, and everything relating to politics is not allowed at Mehfil Pakistan. We feel, after having politics allowed for several years, that it leads to endless discussions, arguments and name calling. It also promotes a division between the members of the forum. There may, however, be a time where politics maybe allowed, mainly during events such as National elections, however, this is again at the discretion of the Moderators.

Below are the issues that are totally unacceptable:

- Starting a political debate and;

- Derailing a thread due to that
