This forum is still lot more open than Digital Spy. You can get banned for breathing in there.

Well I for one don't like to be told what I can say,but hopefully I have enough self control not to overly upset anyone,I would much rather talk through stuff than sit here seething that I cant put a point across,I can take some insults myself and hopefully others can too,it doesn't mean I hate anyone,I just disagree with them.

Exactly ,i believe if you dish stuff out, you have to expect to get it back, some are allowed to do that on here, others are not, it should one rule for everyone ,and Im quite capable of allowing people to speak their minds on me ,but they have to expect to get the same treatment back ,thats where a place we can go and let off steam without mods jumping in and infracting would be good for this forum ,would you in everyday life let someone keep sticking a knife in your back ? I wouldnt

yeah thats all forums are really chit chat bit of fun and learn a thing or two

people just need to realize a disagreement is not a attack its just a different opinion. and really what some stranger thinks of us doesn't matter in the real world anyway.
its like big brother we all like different people & sometimes disagree n things get abit loony lol but next season we might like the same people. suddenly yr friend is your hater and yr enemy is yr friend lol. cause basically none of it matters anyway.

I think the forum is more fun during on season. It's off season that people start to take things more seriously.

I've made a couple of really good friends on here,infact hope to meet up with them asap,so friendships can be made.

One thing I do know is that this forum needs a private sub forum, hidden away from non members or those that aren't involved where people can thrash out their differences. Things get deleted and tempers simmer and nobody knows what's going on. I don't know about you but if people genuinely thought I was a reason this forum was losing its flair I'd want to know about it,

I am so sick of reading stuff like this as if allowing for an all out war is going to sort out the on going differences between certain members..well it's not.

There is no way at all that things will be kept in a private forum, we already see the same petty differences between members popping up in threads day after day and ruining them because the members in question just cant help but snipe at each other and refuse point blank for stupid reason to use the ignore function.

The sad thing is here most of the on going disagreements are between the mostly older members of the forum who I would have expected to be a bit more mature about online arguments tbqh, so if you all want to insult each other and tell each other what you really think then use the private messages option with a chance of a ban for it or go else where because most other members don't want to see it on the forum and couldn't really care at all about all your pointless arguments.

You never know. You might enjoy the next series. It depends from the housemates they choose.

We'll that's that then.

I will say no more apart from if young members were stopped from attacking in gangs after planning it on their messages things wouldnt be so bad on here ,IMO its the young members who cause all the bother, the older ones are more street wise and maybe know better ,but the young ones dont show respect

No one gets away with attacking anyone Chuff but you can choose to believe that if you like.

And IMO and I see a lot more than you do, it's certainly not the younger members that cause most of the bother on this forum, the older (in age) members are far far worse.

That is so true!

Other details can be argued, but that's demonstrably not true.

I actually said I don't think anyone wants all out war....but it certainly adds to frustrations when censorship happens.

That's definitely the case, it's much less "pantomime" off season.

I find that highly narrow minded.. it's a two way street, respect is earned. Some of the younger ones here have far more maturity than the "elders".

Yeah you're dead right. I never saw the point in them to begin with, to be honest. Is it a post count exercise? People just copy and pasting a list adding or subtracting a figure. Riveting.

This is also true.

I have to say I can't see which posts got deleted so maybe I can't comment fairly but I personally have grown out of this "give us freedom mods garhhhh!" thing. Anyone who knew me on here years ago will know I was the most outspoken person going when it came to freedom of expression. But nowadays I'm like "look if the moderators closed or deleted something it was probably because you were all nattery and taking-the-internet-too-seriously and you could all do with shutting the **** up."

It's weird. I was always held up - mostly in a positive light - as being this really volatile, argumentative person but I really don't see that in myself. Maybe before but for ages now I've felt pretty zen about the whole dealio. I see everyone else bickering at each other now. Really boring bickering, too. Nothing really entertaining to watch.

Tales from Back In The Day will continue in it's same slot next week.

is chuff, the person who spends every on-season attacking HMs for their weight, appearance and background, really preaching about respect?

[Novo]

the main problem is that there is no motivation/interest from the Admins to improve the site and there have been so many good suggestions from members in the past few years that have just been ignored.. and i'm saying spend every hour of the day adding features and **** but just at least listen to people instead of dismissing everything.

Chuff does nothing that others members don't do about BB housemates,I think we are on about FORUM members here.

Tit for tat, I love how easy it is to ship the blame on to younger members considering I've seen equal heaps of trype written by so called 'adults' on here

[Ammi]

..I don’t think it’s an age thing at all that cause any conflict, people don’t respect age, they respect other people regardless of age...it’s personalities/characters, not age who may not get along but I can’t imagine there’s a forum where that wouldn’t happen, it's just inevitable ..it’s unfair and quite offensive to say ‘it’s the older ones’, ‘it’s the younger ones’....and it just isn’t true...if anyone has ‘issues’ then they have an option to ignore, but if they want to resolve anything and they can't/don't do it through PM, then having a private 'slog it out' type forum would be pointless and wouldn't make any difference at all....
