To all new members:

When you register on the forums, you agree to abide by the rules HERE (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/faq.php?page=forumrules).

i) We do not allow 'text speech' to be used on the forum. Text speech was designed for mobile phones, not online communities. Please read http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/topic29297.htm which will give you more details. Also, we do not allow posts written solely in CAPITAL LETTERS. Not only is it annoying to read, it disrupts the flow of the forum.

It's a small thing to ask, please do not use text speech on the forum
Examples:
dat, wot, y, fink, u etc.
If members continue to ignore this and post like it all the time, your ability to post will be revoked for a period at our discretion.

CAPITAL LETTERS are something which are also mentioned in the rules. We don't allow posts/topics to be consisted of all capital letters. Of course you can use them to enhance the odd word, but there's no need for a whole post to consist of them.

j) Posts which insult or direct profanity towards another member, will immediate be deleted, or edited out. This may lead to a ban.
I know people don't agree on certain subjects, we don't live in a perfect world - but there are ways and means to expressing your feelings.
Also posts which insult the housemates are not allowed. I understand that people dislike housemates, and of course you can post that if you want - but the profanity and aggression being posted will not be tolerated.

Please abide by these rules or we will take action, either by removing your ability to post - or by banning you.
