I've always found it odd that a forum for Big Brother has frowned upon swear words...

I guess that's a whole other topic

Yeah, again that's an admin decision, most of us disagree with having a swear filter but there you go, they're the rules

Whether children have access to pornography is not and should not be the concern of anybody on here, that quite rightly is not a problem or responsibility of moderators.

However, whilst registered and using this site, moderators are for want of a better phrase, online guardians.

Poking fun at a body issue, whether it be their nose, ears, eyes or anything else, can have a very real effect on an individuals outlook on their own life.

I am not blaming you for anything, smeagol just fighting your corner. Niamh saw a post you made as a defense for these comments. Which is why you were mentioned.

How are you fighting his corner, after you lambasted Iceman for a post (a post not a whole thread I might add) on the same thing. The hypocrisy is too much to bear

Iceman I assume(d) is either approaching or is already, a grown man. I assumed (wrongly or rightly) that smeagol is a child. I am making points that are nothing more than an attempt at defending children and/or people who may be emotionally affected by such comments.

Where on earth am I being a hypocrite?

And why on earth are you taking my comments personally?

Its not against the rules to make remarks about appearances on here unless of course it's directed at another member.

This is so true it's unreal.

[ChristmasNeeve]

also I wasn't defending Icemans comments either, I posted that link to show you that "normal" forum members wouldn't be infracted or banned for similar comments. I'm sure Smeagal will tell you that I didn't like the nose comments in his thread either

My whole point is that it should be, in my humble opinion of course, because making such comments has no positive purpose.

Yes.. But it's made me think of another good point; presumably all the members here watch big brother, where I'm pretty sure they have seen and heard a lot worse than anything in this thread!

If we just banned people for making comments that we didnt particularly like, there would b about 3 members left on here.

A comment about a celebrities nose is not, and never will be, against the rules on this site.

I don't want to do something about it though, there's plenty I don't like on here but ****ing hell we can't delete everything everyone of us don't like

How very patronising! There isn't a "spat" to be "won". Making comments about celebrities' noses isn't breaking the rules. End of.

My point is that a case could very easily be made for such comments to fall under the umbrella of cyber bullying, which I assume is against the rules ? if its not, it should be.

I am not saying ban everybody who does this, quite the opposite. I have said that these comments should be publicly pointed out for being wrong, clearly and calmly explaining why. As I have done.

If moderators are not online guardians, what exactly are you there for? Genuine question.

Deleting posts that aren't against the rules because we don't like them and punishing people for them would make us incredibly biased. We only delete and infract posts and members that break the rules.

[Black Dagger]

Making a scene and having an argument for the sake of having one.

How bloody pointless.

We're here to moderate, the clue is in the name.

Well Lee, if there is no 'spat' could I ask what in the name of **** has it got to do with you? or for that matter the other moderators that have come in here to defend their buddy?
