We, the female population of Revvy (aka TheRevival) would like a female only tribune.

May we have a female only tribune?

below is all the signatures of people who would like a fembune/support the cause.

And no..we can't have a no topic in the sisters section, that's boring.

Salaams,

Ive noticed this for quite sometime and I was hoping someone else might bring it up but no one has so here goes. InshAllah no one will take this the wrong way.

When the chat room/tribune was originally introduced to the forum it wasnt such a bad thing BUT as time has progressed not only has it killed the main forum but also a lot of the discussions that take place on there consist of ppl talking about their personal life rather than any Islamic discussion. Dont get me wrong I think some of the discussions that dont involve ppl talking about their personal lives is productive and interesting. However, some ppl have unintentionally fallen into the trap of coming on the chat room/tribune to talk about their personal life (myself included). To me that is abusing the chat room/tribune facility.

Then there is the issue of why hardy anyone uses the chat room/tribune during the day. Ok I can understand there are a lot of ppl that are in full time education so probs only get time to go on in the evening. Most of the conversations do take place in the evening however what concerns me is the conversations that go on between members of this forum in the early hours of the morning. I know for a fact without even asking, my parents would not approve of me talking on a chat room/tribune at 3 or 4 in the morning even if it was about Islam as this is not what respectable practicing Muslims do. And it seems that its the same ppl that do it every night. Im not gonna start naming ppl as its quite evident from the posts who does it. Ask yourself this, Do your parents know what your doing at that time in the morning? If they dont maybe you should have a long hard think about that and ask yourself is it right what Im doing? Now before you all start kicking off Im not accusing anybody of anything I'm just poiting out what i have observed in the past few weeks.

Im not trying to pick on anyone or spoil your fun but there have to be some limits. I think sometimes we get soo wrapped up and start to fall into a trap of doing things without realising what were actually doing, Ive done it myself. For example in the past I always used the word "my love" or "love" when ive wanted to patronise someone. My intentions were clean and I did not think I was doing anything wrong however one member of the forum pm’d me and pointed it out so I stopped doing it.

I think we ALL need to take some time and question ourselves.

Ps my post is not directed to anyone in particular. As a Muslim I feel it is every Muslims duty to correct others when there is something wrong. Thats exactly what Im doing here so please refrain from taking offence.

pps sorry about the extremely long waffle.

May Allah (swt) guide us all.

w/salaam
