The board seems to have been muzzled.so much for housemates are fair game,makes you almost feel like not posting again.

I agree to a certain extent.This forum can be very daunting for a new member like me.But i'm getting the hang of it.Thank god for the ignore option!

No the board hasnt been muzzled Kazanne, yeah hms are fair game but over the top hate filled posts are not allowed, and that rule has been there all along it's not as if we decided to add it in there without letting anyone know.

Personal attacks on forum members also shouldn't be allowed,but it happens.I almost quit this forum because i felt targeted all the time.

Personal attacks on forum members are against the rules, and you should use the report button to inform us of posts like that so they can be sorted out.

So how come a Rebecka fan who happens to be a mod,started that thread,would they have done it had it been any other housemate?I can remember being on here and terrible things were said about Charlie Uchea,Jade Goody,Ziggy and a few others,they were all fair game so what is different this time?and imo that one post HAS muzzled the board as people will now feel they cannot post their true feelings,just my opinion though.

That's a very good point.Maybe they're just bitter that Rebecca is gone!

I actually find the positive nicknames a whole lot more annoying...

I think we should call housemates with their correct names.Nicknames are kind of silly.

Can i use any of the following words to describe Alex?

Cave Troll
Ogre
Orc
Goblin

[Vicky.]

And for the record, which housemates staff personally support, has nothing to do with the punishments or whatever that they give out.

And just because one staff member makes a thread, that does not mean that they have just done it off their own back. Infact some of the time, the idea didnt even come from the person who makes the thread.

[Vicky.]

Deleted some posts in here. Try not to make everything all about 'XXXXs haters' or 'XXXs fans' or whatever. Its very rarely as clear cut as that.

I agree with you.Sometimes a discussion can get heated.It doesn't matter which housemate you support.

Having just visited DS this afternoon, I noticed that their mods have cracked down on the level of insults in forums.

You're not allowed to make criticisms on actors or writers for Tv shows unless you show a case for both sides and make it constructive. lol

So maybe on this forum make it a rule to be constructive. You can call Alex ugly if you please but only if you make suggestions on how she can improve her looks. lol. Joking, obviously.

Seriously?

See. Compared to DS we have pretty much no rules here

Yes. I think it was mainly the soaps thread which was constantly full of venom for Eastenders and Coronation Street's executive producers which kicked it off and now they've pinned notices on all the forums.

But, TBH, the reason I've never officially joined DS is because you can get banned for the slightest thing there. lol

I'm sure people can still post their true feelings without going too far with the hatred, it's not as if we are saying you can't say anything bad at all about housemates, I personally don't see why it would be a problem since there is better ways to get a point across than having a post full of starred out swear words detailing how much hatred you have for a housemate but not really contributing anything to the thread topic, also it has nothing do to with who staff members support, other mods including myself have already mentioned in other threads about the disgusting nicknames etc.

It's not a problem at all,but most of it on here I see as banter,where I do get peed off is when a mod can say horrible things about a contestant but we have to zip it,and how come the 'lads club' can post crude vile things about the women on there but when we say anything derogotary against their fave we are called all sorts?A couple of posters have already left because of this,good posters aswell,perhaps if I open a post with so and sos, got a hudge todger,I may fit in better,gawd Dezzy knows how to empty a room.

Really?Alex isn't ugly.She just wears too much make up.

I'm not sure why some people are so indignant about this, it does say clearly in the rules that "it is fine to insult housemates, to a certain extent...as long as it is not too over the top"

This Forum is hard.You get attacked and ridiculed simply for having a different opinion.
