That's not true and whenever it does happen it gets dealt with pretty quickly

Well that's against the rules, obviously, I can only suggest using the report button to make us aware of it when it does happen

What? I hope you're joking because where exactly in the quote below does it state you're not entitled to an opinion.

to a certain extent...as long as it is not too over the top"

As long as you're mature enough to see the line and not cross it you can vent all you want.

I dont think Vanessa was talking about this thread. I think(going on other posts) she may possibly mean about other things that have happened.

And this is the main point of this thread. Thank you

[Vanessa]

Vanessa you have been a good poster since you joined,dont let a few put you off.

[Parmy]

It's a bit unfair dissing people for slagging of the housemates.

You don't hear anyone having a go about loiuse, faye or maisy...give them a break fgs, it's not us posters fault alex and heaven are munters.

[Vicky.]

Have cleaned this up as well as I can I think.

Please try to keep ontopic.

Also, to clarify some stuff from the deleted posts, if you feel a mod has broken a rule, you can either report them the same way as you would report a member(admin will see the report) or PM an admin directly.

Now, no more offtopic stuff please

Can I just say without maybe getting wrong for doing so. I try and think in the main I succeed in not insulting anyone, I did hold the view that housemates were fair game in the main but I still tried to refrain from making acidic personal insults to them,I see little need for that.

I therefore welcome these reinforced guidelines,even more so especially if they are applied as rigidly to next years CBB if a certain duo was to again go in the CBB house.

I got, and felt and knew I got a lot of personal ridicule and insults during the last 2 weeks of CBB,myself and others.
So I am glad this guideline has been highlighted as if they were to go into CBB next year I had decided that during CBB,I would not post on here or even look on here while they were in due to the personal abuse I got this year.

I still tried not to insult anyone despite getting so myself from many all at once, along with others too. What I like about this guideline is that it has been stated it applies to housemates too,so hopefully those of us who feel strongly as to a certain duo for instance, will hopefully, because this guideline is being reinforced,not have to race to defend again acidic and vitriolic attacks on not only the duo themselves but we who are members who are fans of them too.

I therefore personally am glad this guideline has been highlighted and reinforced as I was physically and mentally drained by the end of CBB.I see it as a good and positive move.

By the way Vanessa, I think you make really great posts and hope these guidelines will help you feel more welcome on here.
There is a massive amount that is good on this forum and only a very small bit that isn't.

[Mystic Mock]

TBF I only have ever slagged off Rebeckah and Aden though Joey,I have never slagged off there fans.

And Jedward were called twincest and Incest and Autistic which are far worse than Ardick,Prostitute,Slut and Slag Imo.

The thread is NOT aimed at any one single person. I'm not sure why people have got so defensive.

We've all slated HM's in the past. It simply has been noted that this year it's gone OTT and a mod chose to say so

Now, go play...

Confused at 'go play',I am not a child. I thought I made a valid point and was also being supportive.

I very much welcome these guidelines for all housemates in all series and for all members too.

To be quite honest I dont really think this year has been any worse than previous years on here.

Maybe the mods are just becoming a touch more sensitive recently.

Maybe its because there are more mods and less people posting in general, so they can concentrate more on whats being posted.

Or and yes its back to the old chestnut maybe due to the lack of live feed and being spoonfed only what the producers want us to see in the highlights show, the vitriol comes in quick fire bursts.

Perhaps.

I never used to post in the BB forum really bar live feed so maybe it's just in my face more this year

I think you make a very strong points,I thought it far worse last year with John James and Josie and Ben etc.

I think I better shut up now though, so am clearing off this thread, I was being supportive or trying to be and clearly still am in the wrong.

If anything, I think we are way more lenient than we were last year, or the year I actually became a mod. I remember actually banning someone for a week for calling another member a dick and noone even questioning it as it was what people were used to then. Where now, everyone would go mental about that. The times before infractions were the best, everyone knew not to push their luck, because the system in general was much harsher.

Second point may have something in it though.

Third is most likely IMO. Other years, we havent focused so much on single incidents. Chocolategate for example, would have been discussed for about 10 mins, and then we would be talking about something else.

Well, equally as with me jf, welcome these guidelines and hope all others do too. 2 wrongs will never make a right and I agree with you but I do welcome very much these reinforced guidelines.
Let's hope the guidelines mean a positive move forward for everyone.

[James]

I'm closing this thread. Gone too off-topic and we're meant to be talking about Big Brother in this forum.

[Kerry]

Is it really so hard to follow the rules?

Is it really so hard to be kindly asked to ease up on some of the more nasty comments and not kick off with yet more and moaning?

It was just a request to keep the forum a little lighter and more welcoming. I will also ask, please do. Thassall

[Kerry]

Moderators can get bollocked just as much as anyone else. Do you seriously think if I started posting personal details for example of someone else I'd be allowed to remain a mod? No.

And yes, we bollock each other about behaviour just as much (sometimes more) if we don't see it as right.
