so good news for Lotan

Calling someone scum for actions inside the house is perfectly fine surely (maybe Dezzy or Vicky can confirm?)

Kayleigh was one of my early faves but threatening to kill people is a scummy move and she got dragged for it.

I find men threatening to physically hurt women scummy hence I believe Lotan is scum.

Of course thats fine. Calling voters/members scum is not ok though obviously.

It would only become an issue if the post was nothing but a load of bile filled insults. For example 'Lotan is scum' is fine 'Lotan is a scummy wifebeating twat who deserves to die' is not fine.

Honestly, Nicky and Vanessa would probably be the only members actually left on here if we got as strict as some members appear to want us to be I don't think I have ever seen either post anything that was horrible.

The voting thing we obviously tend to let go unless its obviously aimed at members tbh. Its just a bit of a catchall rule like most of our rules and it totally depends on context. Examples I guess would be maybe

'The voters are idiots. Why on earth did they save that bore' is fine
'Everyone who voted for that bore is an absolute idiot' would be bordeline
Replying to someone who said they voted for the bore 'you are an idiot for voting for him and have ruined the show' would be a rulebreak

This is why modding sometimes seems inconsistent tbh. Catch all rules do not always work as context and such has to be considered and sometimes we do get things wrong or misread something.

Oh that's understandable then, that's what I assumed the rules had been previously but just wanted clarification now it had been mentioned

Rules basically are just..treat other members with respect, do not insult each other and do not go over the top with hating housemates. Make posts that actually contribute to conversations rather than just random 'she is a slag!!!1111' and such. And don't spam.

Its a shame that it all has to be spelled out separately for some (not saying you, just generally) and when its all written down its fairly confusing

A huge problem with on season too I find anyway is being equal with stuff. Like, older members I tend to know their personalities and know when they are just joking, but a new member would see that post and take it seriously and report. Then we have the situation of...if we let it go then the newbies think we are favoring older members and see older members getting away with stuff so copy...then they end up punished as their post does NOT come across as a joke. Then we have 'X did this and got away with it and I did the same and got banned' and that.

****ing minefield really. But I genuinely do not think this year has been anywhere near as bad as it usually is.

I thought catlady was about people on facebook with cats as their dp too I never thought it was an insult as such kind of like the eviction crowd are refered to as a mob. I always thought it was very light hearted

[Peppermint]

I wouldn't care about being called a 'catlady' tbh because cats slay, but it's obvious that some people use it to describe the older women who all support/vote for a particular housemate and I think it's slyly used as digs at people on here but use the 'it's just on fb' as a cover-up

Also @ Vicky for all the explanations

I dont think Ive ever used the phrase facebook catladies, but I never saw it as an insult..
I've always found DS to have a more serious demographic, Twitter to have a younger demographic, Tibb to have a camper demographic, and Facebook to have a more older, female demographic.. and each of those four usually tend to have different opinions to one another. I just assumed it was the nickname to describe the typical Facebook point of view...
they appeared to be the majority of Jason fans, whilst tibb preferred Jayne, Twitter preferred Evelyn and DS preferred Andy - with Hughie getting a little bit of love all round, and I have no idea where Jackson got his votes
So when people use the term facebook cat ladies, I assume they mean people who typically prefer Jason-like characters... whereas if somebody mentioned the twitter-crowd, I'd assume they'd be talking about fans of the more model/reality star housemates.
Maybe they need a new nickname but Ive never seen the harm in it personally

[Headie]

If you want to think that that's fine, but my use of the word is not directed at people on here

Discussions a bit pointless anyway since the words banned from being used now

As you know the golden rule is "do not discuss members", something which people are happy to remind others of all the time when it suits them.
