OK now I'm laughing hard - Pcakes has GOT to do Bob's version of "I Post Myself" for us the next time we meet up.

I've been asked why I'm still the legal owner of tvclubhouse.com and bigbrotherfanclub.com domain names?

I am not. They have been transferred but the actual data that shows up when you do a search may take a few weeks to change and replicate across all the dns servers worldwide. That's how I understand it anyways. :-)

You've read the Stinkin' Rules for posters, but what about the flip side? What about the moderators? Don't they have some stinkin' rules of their own? Fear not! For there is, indeed, some method to the madness we refer to as moderating around here. Read on and you'll discover the modicum of methodology used in moderating messages! Or, if you will, the Seven Scintillating Standards for Civilized Social Superintendents.

1. Thou shalt not discuss moderating issues with those outside the moderator group.

What's done by moderators stays between moderators. Confidentiality is paramount. This, dear member, protects your privacy as well as that of other members. Unlike in the BB house, we won't turn around and blab all your business to other members.

2. Thou shalt not discuss moderating issues directly with members -- all questions and commentary about moderating issues shall be shared by and with all moderators.

Should a member feel the need to discuss a moderating issue, email should be sent to moderator@tvclubhouse.com. If you write directly to a moderator -- via email or PM -- expect to be directed to said email address. To paraphrase a BB houseguest, it's not personal, it's the process. We keep all moderating discussions within the group, as a way of keeping a check and balance on things.

3. Thou shalt be respectful to all TVCH members at all times, using an even hand in performing your duties and putting aside such things as personal feelings while addressing the issue or issues at hand.

While we may agree that a certain houseguest is acting like a smarmy dog while another seems to resemble an angelic being, such emotions cannot interfere with moderating decisions. If something falls within the Stinkin' Rules (as best we can determine), it stays; if it doesn’t, it goes. Period. If we are in doubt, we ask other mods for their opinions in order to minimize our own biases.

4. Thou shalt be respectful and issue-oriented with TVCH members at all times, dealing with issues, not emotions.

See? We think this is SO important, that we put it in here twice! We really do value all our members and we think you should be treated well.

5. Thou shalt make small decisions on your own, but confer with the moderating team on larger, more complex issues before taking action.

While we strive to keep each other "in the loop" on what is going on, we do not wait for a consensus vote on every moderating decision. Some things are very straightforward (such as name calling and bashing) and some are purely administrative (such as archiving and backups). Other issues require more thoughtful consideration before action can be taken (such as warnings, suspensions, and so forth) and are not done without concurrence by the moderating team.

6. Thou shalt seek guidance from others when there is doubt in the mind over what action to take.

Again, we think this is so important that we are repeating it -- see standard 5 above.

7. Thou shalt not send any messages out as a moderator from any address other than the moderator account.

Dear members, let this be a sign unto you. That if you receive a message from anyone claiming to be a moderator, representing a moderator, or channeling a moderator, do not bow down before him/her! Such a person is a false prophet and speaks with a forked tongue! Any true message from the moderating team will be sent from the moderator@tvclubhouse.com account. Should you receive communication from a false prophet, please forward it immediately to moderator@tvclubhouse.com so that we can smite the demon! (Okay, maybe not smite, but at least try to figure out who's scamming you.)

Thus endeth the Seven Scintillating Standards for Civilized Social Superintendents. If you have read this far, we commend your endurance. You now have a small sense of the process we go through around here.

Now, go ye and populate the board with wildly wonderful witty words!


DISCLAIMER: As with all standards, be they scintillating or simply satirical, there may be, from time to time, exceptions, omissions, and miscalculations. We aren't perfect, but we try.

In my medication-induced fog following the recent car accident injuries from which I'm recovering, I missed this entire thing until now. So I'd like to thank Neil for all he's done over the years to keep this place going, the new owners for seeing to its continuation, and especially the moderators for 24/7 service in making this a respectful and fun place to participate. You all rock!

Congratulations on the management change.

I would like to add that this is the one place I have discovered that I could discuss things with people who have different beliefs or opinions in the most respectful manner. There are not many boards on the internet where this common courtesy exists and it is a wonderful combination of good moderators and good posters.

I don't post here much, but I do get a lot of my news from here. Some times I just graze on different general discussions.

Just saw this thread, congrats to you guys. I was a lurker here for BB1 and I came back for BB2 and like most here I have never left. I love coming to this board because everyone here really is amazing and is always there to answer any question. I also like that the people here truly respect each others opinions, even if they differ from their own (minus a few heated BB and/or political discussions). Even though I don't know you all on a personal level, I feel I get the essence of your personalities from each of your posts.

This place is my escape from the daily grind and I would be lost without it. (No one else would understand my BB addiction :-) ) I wish you all the best with your new venture and I expect nothing less then the best.

Most of all I want to thank Neil for bringing this site to life. Thank you.
