I never looked at the logos from religious perspective... Not sure what is the conclusion you&#39;re trying to make... let us see what logo they display for Chrismas? It could also be because Hindus and Muslims have relatively more number of festivals and or Mouthshut team is not creative enough to create logos for Christian/other religious celebrations?<br /><br />I&#39;ve no idea and not

Hello Mr Srinidhi,<br /><br />About mouthshut: it will be crystal-clear if you take a look at the religious-festival-related logos on the site.<br /><br />Hindu: 3<br />Muslim: 2<br />Other: 0<br /><br />The site obviously has an agenda; the CEO&#39;s name is &quot;Faizal.&quot; That by itself may not mean much, but it raises flags of suspicion in my head.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!

I am the latest who said good bye to MS, but being pressurised by some close friends to stay back. Don&#39;t know what I will due in coming days. But one thing is sure, that Faisal needs to learn a lesson and time has come.<br /><br />I agree with your post line by line.

This is so shocking! I used MS to vent my anger on some services, but didn't ever think such things happen. Thanks for the post.

Smita<br /><br />Ok. You did the right thing. Thanks for following.<br /><br />Avdi<br />Good to see you here (and several other former MS members)<br /><br />Earlier Mouthshut was accessible in many companies that'd banned other sites like Orkut. Currently most of the companies have blocked MS too, most probably because they feel visiting Mouthshut can't be productive in any sense.<br /><br />

Of course, Lying about gifts is a crime. Either dont have a gift scheme, or honor the ones that are offered.

That was a good post. I was coolwater on MS and enjoyed my early stint there. <br /><br />They surely realised that the 'social' part of their members was generating more traffic, and added more elements to suit themselves.<br /><br />It didnt suit me much later for several reasons, the major one being that it was firewalled in my office. So gradually I dropped out of it.<br /><br />They

It is ages that I have quit that place. I decided that no TP is worth if it gives you unnecessary tension and specially with the crap the place was churning it was better to move out...

Hi Shrinidhi<br /><br />A very good post about how one should not ruin their user community ... I am sure there are lessons there for all of us<br /><br />I think you can always send them a DMCA takedown request for your content as you don't want it there anymore (unless their TOC says something like they own it)<br /><br />Prateek Dayal<br /><A HREF="http://www.prateekdayal.net/blog" REL="

Mohan,<br /><br />I didn't knew that you know me via Mouthshut...<br /><br />Yes, the ad quantity on MS is just too much. They induce unnecessary space between paragraphs to lengthen the page so that more ads can be accommodated-makes reading difficult.<br /><br />Smita (Chint25 on MS)<br />Nice to hear from you. You were doing very well at MS. Didn't knew that you also have quit MS. Will check

Too big a post. Even I'm a member of MouthShut.com, dunno whether my account is active or not. I joined coz you sent me an invitation. <br /><br />The only review I wrote was on my mobile (which I still use). After that I got periodical mails from Ms. Jasmine Ahuja, which I could make time to care of.<br /><br />I didnt knew much about the internal dealings of MS, Thanks for bringing it to the

Sites like MouthShut which abuse user trust and participation are aplenty on the internet.<br /><br />That's why I decided NEVER to contribute a single word to a third-party site without some form of monetary remuneration.<br /><br />It's sickening that sites like MS use your content to get money and then ban your account for ridiculous reasons.

Well, I was never a user of MS...only used to visit it for the latest movie reviews...and once for the review of Royal Enfield - TBird...I started marveling the site when one of the Bloggers at our Company's Corporate blog started to boast about his readership at MS. <br /><br />Thanks to you, now I know about the underlying facts of the site. <br /><br />The issues mentioned would annoy any user

Hi :-)<br /><br />A very well written article and I so much agree with you. Having seen that comment from CEO's fake ID was very shocking for me. For reasons similiar to yours I had quit the site and whenever I visit it even now I feel disgusted.<br /><br />Disgusted with the fact that how things can go bad from worst sadly there still are people who believe that the site is "the best".
