"We’re grateful to fans that have created blogs, websites, Facebook pages and created a buzz on Twitter. But some fans have been misled by social media activity and wrongly believe that it all authorised by Channel 5 and the Big Brother producers.

If you’re maintaining a social media fan presence for Big Brother here are our guidelines:

Make it clear you’re a fan site and that you’re unofficial
Don’t imply that you’re connected with the Big Brother production or Channel 5

We’re working closely with Facebook. If you are a fan of the show, you should create a Group (not a Page) to show your support.

You can create a group by clicking "Create Group" in the left hand column of your home page.

But you must ensure:

Your Facebook Group title clearly states you’re a fan group
Your posts do not imply that you are involved with the Big Brother production or Channel 5

Facebook’s definitions of a Group and a Page are:

Pages allow real organisations, businesses, celebrities and brands to communicate broadly with people who like them. Pages may only be created and managed by official representatives.
Groups provide a closed space for small groups of people to communicate about shared interests. Groups can be created by anyone"

Thanks for that man, at least now we know.

No one uses 'groups' these days anyways - not since Facebook changed them about. :idc:

They should of just given all the fan pages warning or something, but oh well.

I Posted a status about Big Brother OKTV special and it merged into the official BB page without my knowledge!!

If ter BB facebook pages that they're merging (or deleting or whatever...) are anything like as negative and whiney that they've been on here in the last couple of days, then I understand why they've done it.

Basically yeah.

In saying that my original BB11 one is still up - I don't know why but maybe it's only a matter of time before it's gone too, I bet they're just searching for them all and deleting.

This will backfire, I be watching the protests tomorrow night at the launch :)

and so it begins i expected this for some time now.channel 5 really are not doing themselves any favours here,they have alienated so many fans already.

Mine has not done that :S

OMG Dan.

That's ACTUALLY like an invasion of privacy in a weird way, it's like they should at least ask for your permission?

We should ******ing report them for that alone because I bet it's not just you they're doing it to, but Facebook won't listen and I also love how FB don't even have a UK Contact Number anymore because they're cowardly bastards.

Sadly next will be the sites.
I truly dont know what C5 are thinking about did they do any background search on the BBfanbase??

it seems almost like cyber crowd control.when the show launches and the setup info will be sent out on Twitter/FB and ofc the mainsite.does this mean fansites wont have a means of reporting this? and if they do clearly C5 are going to come along and tell them remove the material as its copyright of C5/Endemol.so its BB10 all over again,When a select few bigger sites get passed some nice juicy info and all others can naff off.

As it stands the LUT's are dead in the water it appears the only info they want people to talk about is via the setups they Officially run.

Will FB survive in the UK? Two young men sent to jail for comments they made terrible as they were on FB but not followed up. Sets an interesting precedent in law. Somebody threatens you on FB you dont call the admin you call the police. Could get interesting for a while.

Goverment wants social Media blocked at the first sign of anymore trouble.
If that was to happen what would C5 do then?

3-4 days of downtime thats C5's grand plan right down the toilet.Lets be honest in this current climate anything could happen.

Bloody wankas wed just gained 200 more followers over the past couple of days as well :bored:

They are just deleting fan pages that look official, with names like BigBrotherChannel5 and BIGBROTHERUK2011.
