PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"And now, a word from a moderator" |
LAST EDITED ON 11-16-05 AT 10:53 PM (EST)Please follow the forum rules as detailed in our guidelines. - No bashing other posters. That means no criticizing posters for their negativity, no criticizing posters for being judgmental, no name calling. - This is a threaded community - join in existing discussions instead of starting new threads. There's no need for five threads saying basically the same thing. It just makes it harder for folks to really get discussions going, since they end up repeating themselves over and over, and the existing discussions get pushed to later pages. When in doubt, join an existing discussion. If you're 99.9% sure your specific comments warrant a new thread...join an existing one anyway. - Is someone name calling? Did someone start yet another thread about Josie and Haley not getting along? Is there anything else that you think warrants a moderator's attention? There's an alert button at the bottom of every post in unlocked threads - click on it and let a mod know. Don't assume that we're able to find that needle in this giant haystack, and don't assume someone else has already alerted it. If you think a post needs to be looked at, you hit the alert button. We'd rather get 10 alerts about a problem than none. - This is the General Discussion Forum. Please, if you're planning to start a thread about an individual houseguest, head over to the Individual Houseguest forum, where there are a number of active discussions on the houseguests. And absolutely no spoiler discussion here - that's a bannable offense outside of the Spoiler forum. More details about our guidelines can be found on The Help Forum, and there's a direct link to the guidelines at the top of the page.

Yeah, don't bash the new people. We're just learning, and I, too, don't know what a thread is. Is "replying" ok?

another bump!Please make sure you if you are starting a new thread that there isn't already an existing thread JUST LIKE THE ONE YOU WANT TO START... And please make sure you are looking in the right section! The Starting Over Board has different sections for General Discussion, Individual houseguests and Spoilers! All of the moderators are volunteers and I am afraid the SO forums are burning them out. I say, LURK AND LEARN! I know this show has people excited, but take your time before you post to make sure you are in compliance with the rules! Just trying to keep things nice and tidy and give the poor moderators a break! Thanks to all the blue peeps...

I thought it was worth bringing to everyone's attention that many of the locked posts on this board today have been on the wrong forum. Just an FYI.

Agreed. The current software doesn't allow that, but the board owner is considering an upgrade that would allow just such a capability. But it would involve taking the boards down for a couple weeks.

This is the General Discussion forum. If you wish to discuss one particular houseguest, please post in the Individual Houseguest forum instead.Do not post a message - either on a thread such as this one or as a new thread - asking why a particular thread was locked. This is a violation of section XIII of the guidelines. A general explanation on why threads are commonly locked can be found here: http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/cgi-bin/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=2211&forum=DCForumID57&omm=0 If an explanation isn't posted on the thread, the most likely reason is because it would put the locked thread back at the top of the forum, ahead of the open discussions, and that would just keep the vicious cycle going.

I have a question. Went to the post about when and where SO airs in your area. The city it airs (also where I reside) was changed to ###### but others put their city, state the same way and it didn't change. Why?

I had assumed that maybe it did that because where I live is not a big metropolis like Dallas/Fort Worth or LA. Thanks though!!!

I will probably be bashed for this, but I find it particularly annoying when someone replies to someone's message and they feel the need to copy and paste the previous person's entire message. Isn't that what reply button is for? I can understand copy and pasting a sentence or phrase, but NOT the WHOLE thing!!! Why is this allowed? It takes up so much room. Thank you!!!!

We don't have a guideline specifically forbidding it, but you're right - it really is bad form to use Reply With Quote to duplicate a long, long post and then only add a short sentence of your own.It does make it a lot easier on your fellow posters to understand what you're trying to say when you remove the extra lines and just include the specific point to which you're referring. There's only so much we can do to force courtesy on these forums - at some point, we just have to rely on posters to do the right thing.

Thank you for replying in such a timely manner!!! I really do appreciate all the work that you do. I love watching Starting Over and enjoy coming to the message boards to add my opinions or to vent over something silly. I'm glad that the moderators are very strict with the personal attacks and bashing. Keep up the good work!!! Oh, do you all actually watch all the shows?
