FYI below is the Yahoo Guidelines we should follow while posting in any Yahoo discussion group.
Oath Community Guidelines
Oath is part of the Verizon family of companies and consists of over 50 digital and mobile brands globally, including Yahoo and AOL. Oath communities include people from a wide variety of experiences, backgrounds, and mindsets and we offer a wide range of products, services and online areas (including email, instant messaging platforms, forums and chat rooms). These guidelines apply to your use of all of Oath’s products and services and will help you and the rest of the Oath community have an enjoyable experience. Please also look for and follow any additional standards that may apply to specific services.
If you don’t feel that you can abide by our Community Guidelines as outlined below, maybe participating in the Oath community isn’t for you. We’ve crafted these guidelines to ensure that everyone within the Oath community has an enjoyable experience.
In short
- Be a good citizen. Interact, connect, and treat others with respect.
- Stay on topic. Keep your content relevant and moderate it correctly.
- Know the rules. Your activity on Oath is subject to these Community Guidelines and the Oath Terms of Service. If you don’t follow these rules, we may take action on your account, which could include warnings, suspension, and/or account termination.
Things to do
- Be respectful. We’re a diverse global community of many types of people, with different beliefs, opinions, sensitivities, and comfort levels. Please be polite and respectful in your interactions with other members, consider your audience when posting publicly, and moderate your content where appropriate.
- Be a good citizen. You can help shape your online community. Contribute thoughtful content, report abusive content if you see it, and encourage rich, fulfilling engagement and interactions with others.
- Moderate your content. Ensure that what you post or upload is appropriate for the context and community where you’re participating and the service you are using. If you’re unsure whether content is appropriate or consistent with the Community Guidelines or the Oath Terms of Service, please err on the side of caution.
- Share. Encourage broad discussions and contribute original content and thoughts to your community. Chances are someone could benefit from your knowledge, opinions, or personal experiences.
- Use your tools. We offer many tools to help users personalize Oath services, including tools to limit exposure to unwanted content and to report abusive content to Oath’s attention. Know what tools are available in the products you use, and use them to tailor your experience.
- Protect your data. Oath encourages you to properly backup your information.
Things not to do
- Don’t use hate speech. Hate speech directly attacks a person or group on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, disease, age, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity. As noted above, we’re a diverse global community of many types of people, with different beliefs, opinions, sensitivities, and comfort levels. Please be respectful and keep hateful and incendiary comments off of Oath. Read these tips for confronting hate speech from the Anti-Defamation League.
- Don’t bully or harass members of the community. Oath communities aren’t a place to harass, bully, shame, impersonate, or intimidate others.
- Don’t forget the children and teens. Remember that children and teenagers are a part of the community, too. If you would hesitate to show what you’re about to post to a child, your parent, or a stranger on the street, you probably shouldn’t post it on Oath. Think before you post and moderate accordingly.
- Don’t be obscene. Sexually explicit and vulgar language and images are not welcome.
- Don’t behave maliciously. Members of Oath communities are not above the law, and they must conduct themselves consistent with our Community Guidelines and the Oath Terms of Service, including the section on Member Conduct. Don’t attempt to defraud, impersonate, threaten, harass or harm another user. Don’t invade another user’s privacy or spam another user or the community. Don’t try to trick people into sharing their personal information, steal anything (like copyrighted or trademarked material), or break into places you shouldn’t be. Don’t upload viruses or malicious code or post links to sites that contain such things or that interfere with the operation of Oath.
Things Oath will do
- Act to promote community, collaboration, and discussion.
- Refrain from asking you for your password and full credit card number via email, so that you can be sure that such messages, even if they look like they come from us, are fraudulent.
- Remove content and/or deactivate accounts that violate these Community Guidelines or our Oath Terms of Service. We care greatly about our users and their ability to have safe, rich online experiences. We cannot be present for every interaction and upload, and we rely on our community of users to report abusive and potentially harmful content to our attention. When we become aware of a potential violation, if we determine that content violates our policies or applicable law, we will take appropriate action. We may make exceptions to these policies based on artistic, educational, or documentary considerations, or when there are other substantial benefits to the public from not taking action. But there are a few clear lines-we have a zero tolerance policy toward:
- sharing adult or sexualized content of another person without that person’s consent (Non-Consensual Pornography). If you experience this, learn how to report it to our attention;
- content that exploits or abuses children, including all child sexual abuse imagery (including cartoon images) and all content that presents children in a sexual manner; and
- content that promotes or supports violent criminal behavior, organized criminal activity, or acts of terrorism, including content supporting or celebrating terrorist organizations, their leaders, or associated violent activities.
Please refer to product-specific guidelines for more information about Oath communities. Need help or information on how to report abuse? Visit Oath Help or the Oath Safety Center.

Subject: RE: [perthbashi] Wake Up call !!!
We aren’t living in a ‘glass house’ here that one single email or argument would shatter the so-called ‘community harmony’! And banning someone from the group, would only serve the ‘extremists’ – who only want to hear, whatever they want to hear!
In this day and age – culture, religion; everything is subject to criticism, everyone has got the right to ask! People are doing something for thousands of years doesn’t mean that they will be doing the same thing for another thousands of years! We always need to ask the right question and do healthy debate without shutting down anyone! That’s how a civilised society/community move ahead!!

This is not a religious forum. Nobody is not in a position which is right or wrong. People are trying to circulate religious beliefs should be banned from this group regardless which religion they belong to.i found it very offensive and oppressive.
On Fri, 13 Apr. 2018 at 12:20 pm, Nasim mniqbal_au@yahoo.com.au“>mniqbal_au@yahoo.com.au [perthbashi]Dear Sister of IslamWhile I respect the right to your religious beliefs I cannot appreciate distributing your views in an open forum like Perthbashi. There are some terms and conditions of using Yahoo discussion groups which you may read for clarity. Why would I live in a country which by all means do not support and accept my religious views. Today the world is free for those who would like to live in a chosen country.If you’re not aware, in Perth the Bangladeshi community like to live in harmony with anyone regardless of their background. I would find your email very offensive for my friends who believes in Hinduism.Finally I would like to request Perthbashi group moderator to remove your right to send any mail in this group should you ever choose to send another such email in future.Have a great weekend and happy Bengali new year.Nasim IqbalSent from my iPhone

But definitely to be the wake up call to all Muslims. So we should not take it as personal, rather being a Muslim we need to ponder what we are doing is permissible by Allah or not!!May Allah give us proper guidance. Jazakallahu khair Yameen vai for this timely wake up call.

Subject: RE: [perthbashi] Wake Up call !!!Perthbashi is an open forum and people should be able to freely express their views as long as there are no personal attacks on individuals or groups. Hate emails inciting violence should also be avoided at all times.As always, my personal belief on this is that no one has got any authority on religions and by the same token, cultures as well. People should use their own judgement to make decisions on what’s larking beneath religions or cultures.From: perthbashi@yahoogroups.com“>perthbashi@yahoogroups.com [perthbashi@yahoogroups.com“>mailto:perthbashi@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of wahid khan nisikhan12@yahoo.com“> nisikhan12@yahoo.com [perthbashi]

Subject: Re: [perthbashi] Wake Up call !!!Mr Forhadi or Unknown,Your email contents full of hatred and extreme view of Islam, hope you are not from Saudi Arabia.In your soul, I can see, full of hate, main lesson of “Islam” is to “Love others, Respect others and if someone you think is wrong, let “Allah” judge them but not “you”..Islam came to Indian subcontinent with peace and its always respected “Bengali Culture”. You sounds like you have lost your “Bengali culture” but don’t worry we respect you and now please learn to respect others.Love, Respect and Harmony will make you a good person and will make a better world.Kind RegardsWahid Khan NipuOn Thursday, 12 April 2018, 11:16:54 pm AWST, YahmiN FORhadi forhadi2001@gmail.com“>forhadi2001@gmail.com [perthbashi] <perthbashi-noreply@yahoogroups.com“>perthbashi-noreply@yahoogroups.com> wrote:****Please ignore if not interested *শয়তান আমাদের চিরশত্রু, যার চূড়ান্ত টার্গেট মানুষকে মুশরিক বানিয়ে জাহান্নামে পাঠানো।তার চক্রান্তের ফাঁদ হয় ভিন্ন ভিন্ন। বাংলাদেশী মুসলিমদের ধ্বংসে তার চক্রান্তের অন্যতম ফাঁদ হচ্ছে বাঙালী চেতনা!এ চেতনার নামে নানা কৌশলে সে আমাদের মুশরিক বানানোর চক্রান্ত করে যাচ্ছে। তারই অংশ হচ্ছে পহেলা বৈশাখ!উম্মতের কাণ্ডারী ওলামায়ে কেরামের সামনেও বিশাল দায়িত্ব; উম্মতকে শিরক থেকে বাঁচাতেই হবে ইনশা–আল্লাহ!তাই নিজ নিজ অবস্থান থেকে এ বিষয়ে উম্মাহকে সচেতন করে তোলা অপরিহার্য কর্তব্য।বিশেষ করে খতীব মহোদয়গণ আগামী জুম‘আয় নিতে পারেন জোড়ালো ভূমিকা!বৈশাখের মৌলিক সাতটি প্রোগ্রামকে সামনে নিয়ে করতে পারেন আলোচনা;১. মঙ্গল শোভাযাত্রা;২. ছায়ানটের বৈশাখীবরণ;৩. লাল সাদা পোষাকের মহত্ত্ব;৪. অবাধ মেলামেশা;৫.উল্কি আঁকাসহ নানা অনৈসলামিক কাজ!৬. অপচয়;৭. গরিব জনগোষ্ঠীর সাথে উপহাস।তবে সবচেয়ে গুরুত্ব পাওয়া দরকার শিরকের বিষয়গুলো।যেমন:(ক) লাল সাদার সাথে বাঙালীর কী সম্পর্ক? এটা তো শাঁখা সিদুরের কালার!তাহলে কি কৌশলে আমাকে শাঁখাসিদুরে অভ্যস্ত করা হচ্ছে?(খ) রমনা বটমূলে ছায়ানটের শিল্পীরা বাদ্যযন্ত্র নিয়ে প্রস্তুত, প্রস্তুত শ্রোতারা, অপেক্ষা কেবল সূর্য উঠার, সূর্য উঠার অপেক্ষায় মুসলমান থাকতে পারে? , এটা তো সূর্য পুজারীদের কাজ! মুসলমান সূর্য উঠলে ইবাদত বন্ধ করে দেয়। কারণ নবীজী সা. সূর্য উঠা আর ডুবার সময় নামাজ পড়তে নিষেধ করেছেন, যেনো আমাদের ইবাদত সূর্যপূজারীদের সাথে মিলে না যায়, আর সেই মুসলমান প্রত্যুষে ফজরের সালাহ বাদ দিয়ে সূর্য উঠার অপেক্ষায় থাকবে?!!(গ) সূর্য উঠার সাথে সাথেই রবি ঠাকুরের প্রার্থণামূলক সঙ্গীত “এসো হে বৈশাখ এসো……” দিয়ে শুরু হবে বর্ষবরণ। ঠাকুরের প্রার্থনা কি এক আল্লাহর কাছে?!!ওহে মুসলমান তুমিও সে মুশরিকের ভাষায় প্রার্থনা করবে?এই গানটির মধ্যে শিরক স্পষ্ট। কারণ তার একটি কলি হলো “অগ্নিস্মানে সুচি হোক ধরা“অর্থাৎ আগুনে গোসল দিয়ে গোটা জগত পবিত্র হোক। আগুন পবিত্র করার ক্ষমতা রাখে এ বিশ্বাস হিন্দুদের, আর তাই মৃত্যুর পর আগুনে পুড়িয়ে পবিত্র করে;ওহে মুসলমান তুমিও কি সে বিশ্বাসে বিশ্বাসী?!!আসতাগফিরুল্লাহ।(ঘ) সবচেয়ে ভয়ঙ্কর শিরক হয় মঙল শোভাযাত্রায়।এই শোভাযাত্রায় অংশগ্রহণ করে সকল অমঙ্গল দূর করবে। মঙ্গল অমঙ্গলের মালিক কে? এখানে প্রার্থনাটা কার কাছে?সেটা বুঝতে হিন্দুদের একটা বিশ্বাস সম্পর্কে জানতে হবে।হিন্দুদের এক দেবতার নাম বিষ্ণু দেবতা, যার পত্নী হচ্ছে লক্ষ্মীদেবী। যার পাঁচ কন্যা; পদ্মা, পদ্মালয়া, ইন্দিরা, শোভা, কমলা। তাদের বিশ্বাস সমস্ত মঙ্গলের মালিক হচ্ছে লক্ষ্মী দেবী, যার বাহন হলো পেচা।চারুকলার সোনার ছেলেরা বিভিন্ন দেব–দেবীর মূর্তির সাথে পেচার মূর্তিটিও ঢুকিয়ে দেয় মঙ্গল শোভাযাত্রায়।এবার ভাবুন, পেচা কি বাংলায় কথা বলে? না পান্তা ইলিশ খায়? পেচার সাথে বাঙালীর কী সম্পর্ক?আসলে সম্পর্ক বাঙ্গালীর সাথে নয়, লক্ষ্মীদেবীর বাহন রেডি করে আহবান করা হচ্ছে তাকে। কারণ সে না আসলে মঙল বিতরণ করবে কে?লা হাওলা……………………..!!আসলে শয়তান যদি আমাদের পূজামণ্ডপে ডাকতো আমরা তো যেতাম না, তাই সে কৌশল পরিবর্তন করে আমাকে দিয়ে শিরক ঠিকই করাচ্ছে, কিন্তু নাম দিচ্ছে বাঙালী চেতনা!!এভাবেই সাজাতে পারি কালকের জুম‘আর খুতবা।কাউকে উপদেশ দেওয়া নয়, মনে করুন আমার পড়াটা শুনালাম। সাথে আমার মতো কমজানা মানুষগুলোও একটু পড়ে নিলো!জাযাকুমুল্লাহু খাইরা।CITY OF COCKBURN – EMAIL DISCLAIMER This email and any attachments are confidential and intended solely for the use of the recipient(s) and therefore any disclosing, copying or distributing is prohibited.
