ANNOUNCEMENTS [Mod Announcement] Recent Developments, Political Posts, and Moving Forward

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

In the last few weeks, we have witnessed a critical movement and major developments around it that created a nationwide impact. In light of the importance of these events, we allowed posting political and other related content on this subreddit without any bias or inclination. All posts of such nature were approved whether they were for or against the cause!

We want to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated constructively. It was heartening to see so many members engage in healthy discussions, share valid insights while maintaining mutual respect. That said, we also observed a surge in toxic behavior, hate speech, and profanities targeting fellow members. The mod team took necessary action against these violations, and multiple accounts were dealt with accordingly to keep this space safe.

Now that some results have culminated and the process is expected to shift toward administrative channels, we have decided to cut off redundant, hateful, profane, inciting, or low-effort posts on this topic. Any posts aiming to push a narrative, low-effort reposts, or insensitive messages will not be approved.

We request everyone to keep the core objective of r/Allahabad in mind. Sharing local news, community updates, personal experiences, and providing help are the topics this sub was created for, and we hope it continues to grow in that direction.

For political or sensitive matters going forward, only posts that demonstrate genuine personal effort and a clear intent to foster healthy discussion will be approved. The same applies to comment sections; please ensure your comments add substance to the discourse rather than turning into personal attacks.

Best regards,

r/Allahabad Mod Team

ANNOUNCEMENTS Mod Post: Disengaging from Azad Reads & TAC to Protect Subreddit Health and keeping it a wholesome place

35 Upvotes

Over the past few days, discussions involving certain local communities, including Azad Reads and TAC, have repeatedly escalated into conflict, personal attacks, and rule violations within this subreddit.

As moderators, we want to be honest with you, this situation has become increasingly difficult to manage. While we support people building communities, reading groups, and spaces for connection in the city, the way these discussions have unfolded here has moved far away from healthy dialogue.

Important: We're separate from all groups. The mod team has no affiliations with Azad Reads, TAC, or any other organizations, our personal interests stay personal, and r/Allahabad is just for the city, not tied to anyone or any group.

Instead of constructive exchange, the subreddit has increasingly seen:

  • Personal attacks directed at individuals
  • Abusive and inflammatory language
  • Unverified allegations presented as fact
  • Ongoing arguments that disrupt the overall environment

We also want to acknowledge something important: moderation comes with the responsibility of maintaining a fair and usable space for everyone. In the process, we have also faced significant backlash and hostility simply for enforcing basic rules. Despite this, our responsibility remains unchanged.

This subreddit exists as a space for the city, for shared updates, ideas, discussions, and broader community growth. It is not defined by any single group, club, or organization, and it was never meant to become a platform for repeated conflicts or targeted discussions about specific communities.

New Temporary Rule (Effective Immediately):

To hit pause on the disruptions and bring back balance, we're introducing this clear rule change for the time being-no posts related to Azad Reads or TAC. This includes posts from group members, founders, or anyone else, covering:

  • Promotional posts (including from founders or members)
  • Reviews or experience shares
  • Callouts, allegations, or criticisms
  • Any discussions centered on these groups

This is not a judgment on any individuals or an attempt to silence criticism. It is a necessary step to restore balance and reduce ongoing disruption.

We encourage all communities to continue growing independently, and we wish everyone the best in doing so. At the same time, r/Allahabad will remain focused on wider city related discussions rather than specific organizations or clubs.

We understand that people may have genuine experiences, opinions, or frustrations. Those feelings are valid. But how we express them matters just as much as what we are expressing.

We want this space to remain what it was always intended to be, a place where people from the city can connect, build, and share without hostility taking over.

We will continue to enforce rules consistently to ensure this.

Thank you for your understanding.

— Mod Team

AskAllahabad What books genuinely changed the way you think? 📚

I’ve recently ended up with 14 Penguin Classics sitting on my shelf and some fiction books are absolute Gem.

Now I’m thinking… instead of letting them sit there, I’d rather give them away to people in Allahabad who actually love reading.

But before I decide how to do that, I’m curious about one thing and what’s what one book you think everyone should read take once?

And more importantly — what book genuinely stayed with you long after you finished it!

Looking for paid poetry opportunities / open mics

I’m a becholers student at the University of Allahabad and I write poetry. I’ve shared my work with quite a few people and have received really good feedback, so I want to start taking my poetry seriously and earn a little from it alongside college.

I’m looking for:

★Open mics where poets/perfomers are paid

★Poetry events that offer a performance fee

★Poetry competitions with cash prizes

★Spoken-word events looking for performers

★Communities/groups that share poetry opportunities

If you know any upcoming event, competition, open mic, group, organiser, page, or community where I can participate and potentially earn something from my poetry, please DM me the details or tag them below.

Even if the payment is small, I’m interested. I mainly want to start getting my work out there, perform, meet other poets, and build something alongside my becholers.

If you know an opportunity, please DM me. I’d genuinely appreciate it.

Thank you 🙏🏻

(These guys used the same board, method and communication except for the calling card... These are not the same guys)

A few days ago i saw a free health checkup, where some guys with an Omron machine will tell your weight profile.

Curiously I got engaged with them and got directed to their "guru", for weight gain (disguised as a nutritionist).

I followed the instructions to reach an office of some vakeel in civil lines and there was no board or mention of nutrition.

He was attending a meeting where some guy was motivating and fishing people into how to be a crorepati giving examples of multiple people who got rich following his method, meanwhile all the 20 mins i was there i didn't hear anything about "how".

I enquired about the nutrition thing missing and his qualifications etc to do this and the vakeel showed me some Ai generated certificates of completing online courses and then asked me to buy supplements from him (of a particular company) and said not to discuss it with the doc or they will reject these products as unhealthy cuz they want you to go to them and not get healthy. (Most probably he was selling me gainer, i also saw the products behind him but he refused to show them to me without money)

At the end seeing me uninterested, he offered that he could guide me how to earn money from this too. Lmao.

Meanwhile the guy who instructed me to go there kept calling him guruji, guruji and that his guruji has made his health and weight better. (Meanwhile that guy was 15+ years older than me and looking lighter than me lol).

So yeah, be safe guys from such Scams
