Hello everyone:

Hope you all are doing well

Past few days, we have noticed that ugly heads are raised again. Vulgar and abusive comments were found floating around. Late night activities these were, fake ids abounded on Diary Posts, comments etc.

However, our compliance cell, vigilant as ever has taken strict action. It has been monitoring these ID's and I just wanted to inform you guys not to worry as we have already taken this case with the Mumbai Cyber Crime department.

I on behalf of the entire MS Team would like to urge all our dear members that MouthShut.com is your own site and we always strive to keep it clean. There might be some delay in taking the action real time but we will never tolerate such kind of activities.

So enjoy our favourite site as ever.

Hi friends,

As you can see we have made some design changes on the MouthShut.com Home Page. Besides, we have also implemented the New Polls feature. Hope you all like it.

However for those who are still not aware about the changes I would like to highlight the changes once again that have been implemented.

1] Audience Polls

- On popular demand we have implemented Audience Polls on MouthShut.com.

Some of its features are:

a) You can create and vote in as many Polls as you can. There is absolutely no limit.

b) You can track individual responses for each option and get results of the Polls real time in graphical format.

c) You can also comment on the Polls.

d) The polling is anonymous i.e. you can't see who all have participated in the Polls.
This would ensure unbiased responses.

e) We believe Polls will create an interactive and fun learning environment

f) Polls can also help you to take the right decision about buying products

2] Design changes in the Recent Activities Section of MouthShut.com Home Page:

- You can now just see all the latest Blog Posts, Comments, Uploaded Photos, and Gifts Sent by clicking on the respective tabs in the Recent Activities Section. Do let us know your valuable suggestions/feedback in the comments column.
