It's okay to dislike a HM and say so but hold back on the childish name calling and the like please. It's making the forum look pretty cheap and very pathetic. To be so emotionally invested in a show to think that such abuse is justified is worrying. Nobody will get infracted for insulting a HM unless it's stupidly offensive but just keep it in mind because I every time come into the BB12 forum I cringe at the behavior of forum members.
Coming up with childish nicknames for your least liked HM does not make you look witty, it makes you look limited, immature and ultimately quite sad and it's making the forum look like that too. Try to hold back some of the vitriol please people. |

It needs no help on looking cheap and tacky. And it's not our fault, it's a Big Brother forum - some of us are more into the show than others and do get caught up with it, alot and feel passionate about the series - I agree with what you're saying though it is VERY childish when people come up with little nicknames for housemates they don't like, especially when the nicknames don't even make sense. But at the end of the day, I think Mods should be more concerned about certain members insulting BB fans - just because they 'don't like the new era' it's ridiculous and it happened alot in CBB8, it may of calmed down now but it's still there, the amount of negativity on this forum from so called 'fans' revolving the show is a disgrace. And If I were a new member who just joined, THAT alone would be enough to drive me away - because it's really hard trying to discuss the show when you've got other members laughing at you and calling the show pathetic and just trolling constantly.

The same can be said for some of your rants Patrick and your rude little quips. Not very awe inspiring or welcoming to new members and current members of the site. There is being passionate and then there is being aggressive.

As for your concerns, people who insult others are punished, they might not always be banned because they might not have amassed enough points beforehand to cross over into an automatic ban. The best thing to do if you encounter this behavior is to report it. |

New members are usually driven away because of other FMs insulting them for various reasons, most of all. You forget we do know quite a bit about this because usually if someone leaves(usually people with a couple of posts, not older members who tend to make a fuss on the main boards instead), we get PMs/emails about it and they say things like how unwelcome they were made to feel. I have yet to see a message saying someone has left because there were people on here that dont like BB. Obviously everyone will like/dislike different housemates and express their opinions on those housemates. But this message was more for the fair few members who seem to ONLY spout hate. They have begun insulting fans of the housmates they dislike, making up silly names for them, and pretty much just hopping from thread to thread spouting venom. Now, I do love a good bitch about someone I dislike, but I know when to drop it, as do most members. No way would I sit for hours just posting the same venom over and over and pretty much coming across as if foaming at the mouth. I would rather spread my time between having a conversation about someone I dislike, and a one about someone I like. Too much negativity is not good (LOL I just realised I sound like heaven now ) I just think sometimes, people need to be reminded to take a deep breath and realise that while the housemates DO put themselves up for criticism the second they enter the house, they ARE still people. And a little restraint is needed at times. Last edited by Vicky.; 24-09-2011 at 03:47 PM. |

I agree about the ott hate filled posts being ridiculous and we have pointed out before that even though it's fine to insult a housemate constant posts like that in every thread will get the member doing it warned or infracted, hurling abuse at the hm in every thread adds nothing of value at all imo.

That's why I've been asking for contributions to things like picture gallery, Twitter and articles, so I can get round to other things here. Also I've been rather busy and pre-occupied recently. Last edited by James; 25-09-2011 at 12:54 AM. Reason: added about earlier |

it probably has a bit to do with them trying to attract a younger audience while at the same time alienating a lot of its long term older viewers

I can't believe what Patrick has just posted. He's the one to kick off an argument of anyone has the slightest negative opinion about the show not just towards the very vocal ones who go on and on. I've slowly come around to this series but even I've been at the receiving end of one of his rounds of "abuse" (for want of a better word) and that certainly did not stop months ago.
Mirror, Patrick. Patrick, mirror. Although I do agree that the homepage is an absolute mess and the Christmas themed default is pretty ridiculous. |

Half the fun of watching the show is coming on here and arguing with people about their favourite housemates..
But it's ok, most the insults will stop when the little cave troll Alex is evicted |

Arguing is fine. Insults are fine(within reason, no death wishs etc) but the problem would come if you decided to go pretty much copy and paste your cave troll comment into EVERY thread about BB. Adding nothing else to any conversation besides childish insults |

Aww, I think Alex is most likely to make the final at this stage. Well, Alex and Aaron.

This is not a threat btw, this thread was never about anyone in particular. But if you are pretty much going to say you will not follow the rules, then you will at some point need to face the consequences unfortunately. Same as everyone else. |

At the end of the day this isn't something i've dreamed up by myself, the rest of the mods are in agreement with it. If you don't agree with the rules then no one is forcing you to stay, like Vicky said by signing on here you agreed to follow the rules. It's that simple. |

Well I think the rules are a little confusing, but it can't be easy keeping us all happy. So I'd just like to say thanks to you all for giving your time and monitoring the site and giving us somewhere to vent our feelings.

There are members who appear to comment very little about housemates and seem to post ONLY to insult members whom they dont know
