yes i understand that we still have a choice to engage in those types of discussions and it appears that thats what most of the bashful people are doing

back in the days the level of haya did not have to be maintained through strict moderating, back then it was the members of this forum who made sure that such threads do not gain any momentum, so before someone could even think about talking about the male package or the big lips on girls, a group of haya-full people would simply steer the conversation in an entirely different direction and basically kill the conversation

sometimes they did it by making a mockery of the topic(remember the hand licking thread?)

anyway, now that we're going through this decadence of haya the moderators will probably want to become more strict and start shutting down threads left and right, but I wanna to warn them that over-moderating can kill the whole forum, on the other hand, if this typa conversations become too common, that'll also kill the whole forum, so be careful.

inshallah, i'm hoping that some of those more decent people would come back again and raise the moral bar of this place again.

What's haya?

[hijabihoodlum]

i think it's possible to discuss the whole range of, well, just about anything, with haya. that being said, however, i think you're right in that yes, people don't seem to be taking topics seriously enough. too many inappropriate posts and comments. i wish azher/meraj would make a comeback, in turn making the mods feel more responsible, in turn shutting down stupidity across the board.

any arabi speakers who know of an ideal definition? it's bashfulness, shyness, having shame (the good kind), and a general modesty that keeps one away from saying or doing inappropriate things.

edit: the word bashful and shy imply naivete; naivete is not a prerequisite to "having haya."

Oh, okay.


Well, I guess it's nice to be open (except for Rambo), because we shouldn't be so strict and uptight all the time. Admit that we've had some pretty good laughs here.

Good thread.

How about they separate islamica into 2 forums: Islamocrats and Islamublicans

with all due respect, his has little to do with mods feeling responsible. if anything, we have become more strict than ever. azher has always, always, favored the more hands off approach to this issue particularly. we don't need him to "whip us into shape". we deliberate and pounce on so much more than we used to.

once again, if anyone sees anything they deem inappropriate, simply click the "" button on the post and report it. there have often been some pretty lively discussions amongst the mod squad, so rest assured every complaint and issue brought up is dealt with the greatest attention.

we are not your babysitters, aunties, ammoos, or parientes. act responsibly.

Best line in the whole thread.

Jazakullah khair bro, the only issue I see with that is that the ones who would respect that the mods don't have to worry about.

The ones the mods do have to worry about are the ones that really don't seem to care.

Inshallah this thread will act as a good reminder to all of us.
