Also. I can type and actual swear word, the website will change it to a load of stars and it’s fine, I’m just not allowed to use a couple words that aren’t swear words because that’ll get me infracted.

What kinda logic.

Let alone the fact we are on a forum centred around Big Brother and other post-watershed TV - all of which include swearing - so surely if members are old enough to watch swearing on tv they're old enough to read it on a forum

And let’s be real, BBAUS is already gone, BBCAN has been axed in the past and probably could again and who the hell knows what will happen with Julie Chen.

Leaving Pooja as our only hope.

you mean in SD, that is why i proposed my idea of a Celebrity/Showbizz/Entertainment news only section, a place where we can talk about all things celebrities, and also for example red carpet events from movie premieres, award shows

Actually theres been no infractions given out regarding the swear filter

So there you go another case of members thinking or believing what others tell them when in reality they haven't got a clue....

So what are we allowed to say and what are we banned from saying? Just so we are totally clear.
