On season is always messy I know but the ammount of trolling and baiting going on this year is genuinely off putting.

I've prefered twitter but a lot of posters here are amazing and make me laugh but honesty what is happening?

this is nothing compared to when Deana was in the house back then i would get so fumed.

Yeah I don't know if it was genuinely bad back then or if I've just realised how funny the ridiculousness is. Its all just a joke to me now lol

No it was genuinely bad, even my mum used to read it and tell me to tell people to piss off for the horrific things said...especially around the time Conor threatened Deana

I remember there was a week when I only posted in the non BB threads or Deana's fan thread

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I've had to put a lot of people on ignore. At least while it's on season. It's usually bad, but not this bad.

[Denver]

I hardly post now adays usually stick to one or few threads and post alot in those

Im new, but im really enjoying the forum so far. Im aware of the baiting and mild tolling, but i don't think any of it is malicious .

I'm getting really fed up as well and it's getting to disgusting levels but i'm trying to just stop caring and giving them a response because that's what they obviously crave. I just report it now.

Same but it seems the mods are turning a blind eye to the continuous baiting on here.

[y.winter]

I never know if people are seriously turning against each other or is it all tongue in cheek...
I don't feel like it has become unbearable.
But I guess people are always free to use the report button when needed.
I'd seen worse off season in here.

[Peppermint]

Best it's ever been this year

[smudgie]

I am finding it quite reasonable.
But if I have been over the top all I can say in my defence is sorry, I am struggling a bit this week

Thanks Vanessa.
Good, I hate to upset people for no reason.
I do like a bit of fun and little digs at the housemates but don't want to go over the top.

Unfortunately insulting appearances happens every year. I hate it myself tbh but I guess its part and parcel of a show like BB.

I don't think this year has been as bad as usual tbh. Some of the Isabelle hate got a bit too much a few days back but its all generally a lot worse than this.

I think i know why so please dont infract or ban me for writing this.....If you look, like \i have, at any time on the forum there are between 50 to 70 members on line which peaks at not much more after the show. These are members not guests and a large portion of these members are only on season posters like myself. The small minority that keep this forum going are banded together by several things that we dont need to go into, but it appears from outside, that these people are virtually all of the same mind when it comes to favs and diametrically opposed to the on season fm,s

Hence we get competition, which leads to mild baiting and eventually to trolling if the baiting does not work and this goes for both sides. I am probably the worst of the on season posters, but Ive got a short fuse and hate being baited. Personally I think the off season posters want the site to themselves and they see the on season posters as invaders, hence the problems.

Now I know this analogy does not apply to everyone but \i can name 6 or 7 FM,s that rag me all the time and i will admit that I have my targets as well so its fault on both sides but this year, the punishments seem a little one sided and no quarter seems to be given regarding the professional and non professional methods employed to bait and troll.

I can troll, i can even bait, but \i am a mere novice compared to the tactics some of my nemesis's use. This is a forum for all, but some view it as their own.

Honest opinion and not pointed at anyone, im only saying what a few of us really believe but we love bb and tibb equally and its sad that the site has lost a lot of good posters that wre here in the old days.

Ok..

But what does that have to do with insulting housemate appearances?!

The Isabelle abuse was a bit much, but other than that I've actually been alot more relaxed this series than I have in other years as the abuse has been kept more towards their personality than their appearance.

I don't agree. It was mild compared to what other hm's had received over the years.

Oh there's been worse over the years, in particular I thought that Lateysha and Jason weren't bad picks last year, I also thought that Hughie, Jackson, and Andy got it a bit rough in some circles.

But by this series standards Isabelle was definitely the nastiest for me and I'm obviously not supporting Isabelle if you look at who my favourite is.
