So following this thread (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...d.php?t=222747) where the general concensus was a yes, I thought I'd make a poll and hopefully admin will consider it (again) to try and stop drama kicking off


So basically C&G would be a members ony area, and guests wouldn't be able to view the threads in them, seeing as most newbies post in the BB section straight away I doubt many of them would even notice before signing up, I think people would be more comfortable with personal issues on here too knowing it was private

If you're against it, please say why

[Shaun]

I don't really see why not... it's not a section that guests would need to see anyway, I doubt anyone joins the forum just for that section (unless they've been lured over by existing members). And the point about personal stuff is a fair one... given obvious circumstances...

[Vicky.]

Yes I think so tbh.

Obviously the BB/XF etc have to be public to get new members on season, but I really dont see the need for C&G to be available to all. Would be tempted to have general chat on private too. I also think it might encourage a few more to join up if they are browsing and there are parts they can't access...just out of curiousity

Yeah i think is a good point too, i know i've joined sites just to see what the private sections are

[Jessica.]

Yes, there are so many benefits to it.

[LukeB]

Yeah!

[Mokka]

I am a yes, considering the present and on going multi infestation we have going on

[Jay.]

Definitely, I think it's such a good idea. There are always random guests viewing the lounge and it's probably quite obvious who they are..

[Tom4784]

Yes and, if it's possible, make it so you need a certain number of posts to access those sections too, not a huge number. Just enough for us to spot that creature's multis before he vomits any venom.

I was going to mention this too actually.

From a mod perspective, we have asked before for members posts to be moderated until they have 5 posts, or even just for the first post to be moderated, or for accounts to have to be validated by us (so we can check for proxies etc) before they can post

I really do think this is now the time to put that into action

Exactly what I was thinking

[Cherie]

I have no idea what creature you are talking about, I agree that newbies joining should be santioned by a moderator, that is the case in other forums so can't see why it can't be done here, as for guests not being able to see chat and games, sometimes I don't bother to log in mg: so it would annoy me not to be able to see it

There are some previously banned members that lurk through chat and games threads and post when a topic they feel they're relevant too (even when they're not) appears, usually it's attacking forum members or their family members

Just don't log out then

Is it really that much effort to log in if it saves from all the trolling/pics being stolen.

In all honesty I don't know what is happening on here half the time, actually make that most of the time, if it is affecting members that much then James has to do something about it.

As above. I don't post personal stuff or pics so it doesn't apply to me.

this
I don't see why a guest would want to see it if they were like a new member anyway, they're most likely here for the bb news and dont need to see C&G; it should defo be privatised because of the multi situation too

[Raph]

Yeah that's probably a good idea, especially as a lot of people's pictures are in C&G's. Great idea Smithy.

[MessiahCarey]

Yes

Cherylgu needs her freedom

[Smithy]

So armand, what's your reason for no sis?

Before I joined I use to spy of regulars in c&g(I joined because of a tibb game that was going on and it looked cool). I Also don't see how it would reduce drama when multie's would be able to see it as well seeing as they are memebers and most of the drama lately has been member v member.

There would be less motivation to make multis if they don't have a clue what's going on.

Well i think you're one of very few members who'd view C&G before the main BB forums, and banned member (or perm banned members) can't view the forum, usually it comes up with a notification which says you're banned and aren't able to view the forum
