There's no rule like that. You can't insult forum members but saying that immature jibes about someone's appearance reflects poorly on the poster isn't an insult, it's a fair observation. It's just petty to hate on someone for their appearance. Hate them for their actions and their personality.

The only thing Chloe's really guilty of is being a bit dim, she seems quite pleasant otherwise.
I agree with you about housemates being judged on their actions and personality, rather than appearance, and I also agree with what you say that comments do reflect something about the poster. I genuinely think you have a point.

Having said that though, I can also understand why it is a difficult line not to cross in Chloe's case. If her appearance was natural, I would hope people wouldn't choose to pass negative comments about it.

However, Chloe's appearance is not natural, but rather a result of actions she has taken in terms of choosing to have some extreme surgery/enhancements, choosing to wear clothes that are extremely revealing and choosing a career in which she is encouraging others to judge her on her appearance (which, as this is something she has mentioned about herself in the house, is imo also something that she is putting out there for viewers to discuss).

This is a difficult one, especially when comments are made in a light-hearted or homorous way, and there is no hatred really. I am actually pulled in two directions between what is acceptable and what isn't, so I do get where you are coming from, Dezzy.
