TVCH "Commandments" for BB4:
Archive through June 01, 2003
Ryn | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 02:32 pm     Ok - this is a JOKE - but being as we are all so excited and happy about another BB season coming around - maybe we could set up some ground rules BEFORE we meet the next crop of HGs. Feel free to add your own ONE: Thou shalt not take BB too seriously, its just a TV show. TWO: Turn the other cheek and avoid threads that tick you off. In theory we are all adults here. Don't fight with other members even if they are ovbiously wrong (lol). THREE: I promise to stay OFF the board during eviction night if I will not be seeing it live unless I don't care to have things "Spoiled." If I make a mistake and see who gets the boot before the show is on in my area I will not get ticked off at TVCH or its members. FOUR: Reminder - its ONLY a game, some people will tick you off and some people will like people you don't - SO WHAT? Enjoy it for what it is - a experiment in being devious and deceitful with lots of twists thrown in to jack up the ratings. FIVE: If you get the live feeds you WILL try to post in the live feeds area just once at least (c'mon - you can do it!!). On the same note you won't post comments in the live feeds like "great job" - you will find the right thread for the comments and put them there SIX: You WILL NOT copy and past the TVCH live feeds elsewhere - just invite the people over here SEVEN: Thou shalt not find inventive ways to call HGs names, some of them might be idiots but I think we can all figgure that out without everyone seeing how mean they can be in describing said idiocy. Don't forget they signed up for this show and they sure as heck should know by now what they were signing up for. EIGHT: The odds of your favorite winning are 1 in 12 (or less if you like people like Will Mega, Josh (BB2), Tonya, Jordan, etc). So don't take your marbles and go home when they are eliminated, stay around and enjoy the rest of the show. NINE: When you are moderated (and the odds are high you will be at least once during BB4) you will not get your feathers all ruffled, it won't be personal. TEN: You will welcome new members with open arms and not assume everyone posting here knows all there is to know about BB. You will try to help them and make this a fun place to visit to escape from real life for a short time - as opposed to making this place your life . ELEVEN: Nothing you say here will change the outcome of the show so don't take it too seriously (See #1 when in doubt). Did I mention its JUST A GAME?? The above are all meant in the nicest way - and in a half/humorous way and in no way was I thinking about anyone in particular when I made it up. |
Kellirippa | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 03:45 pm     Well I have read thy word written upon these tablets and agree to attemptith to follow these commandments to my best abilty(ith). Now, part that sea and lets get countin' down to the show! |
Bunny | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 05:18 pm     I'm afraid I must take issue with No. 7. Except the last part. That's right on the money.

Grannyg | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 05:27 pm     I here by pledge to abide by the above regulations except......... 1. When I don't feel good 2. When it's late and I've been on the puter for 18 non stop hours 3. When somebody hurts my feelings 4. When we get the FOTH 5. When the HG act like idiots 6. When I get red dots 7. When the person I want to win doesn't 8. I think that's about it but I reserve the right to change this list at anytime. I will post LF because I will get the Live Feeds and for 2 years someone else did it for me whilest I lurked!! <ryn, just kidding> |
Zachsmom | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 06:32 pm     are these "rules" negotiable?  |
Dipo | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 06:33 pm     This really made me LOL! ! ! ! and get all excited again. Can't wait to get started. I too will be posting in LF because I love the live feeds and have already scheduled time off for the 9th, 10th, and 11th so I can get the full 24/7 benefit. We should try to keep this poping to the top so any new people will read it. I didn't know about the "mod" thing until a thread I was in got put into time out, and I did take it personally, for about a minute. Anyway, I like these rules, they are great. |
Hippyt | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 06:56 pm     YAY,for number 3!!!! I hate when people whine about that! |
Kaili | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 07:20 pm     Now wait...with number 10...I DO make it my life during BB Season. Is that such a bad thing? I mean, I still do the basic necessities of life- work, eat, shower, and (occasionally) sleep. |
Ryn | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 07:24 pm     Bunny - there are funny ways to make fun of them and mean - you always stick to the funny - you are granted an exemption (and I thought of you when writing it - lol - I shoulda added EXCEPT BUNNY) |
Ryn | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 07:26 pm     Kaili - there are those that make it their life but know its just a show and those that take it as life or death and blow a gasket when "their" hg is criticized, I suspect you are one of the former |
Pamy | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 07:32 pm     I would like to add.. Thou shalt thank all the Live Feed Posters at least once a week! Thou shalt let Bunny know how much you(and all the people you make copies for)love her tales |
Grannyg | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 07:53 pm     All I ask about the LF is don't complain because we don't capitalize, put comma's in the right places and have mispelled words. It really is hard to do and most of us are really trying hard to make sure we just get the conversation down correctly. Last year I started to remove my email address because it got to be really hard to delete all the negative emails. Ryn what about the screen caps? I know for a lot of people that slows down their page download. Maybe you could come up with a thread for just screen caps and that way people won't have to wait so long for the LF thread to come up. Just a thought. Then when the HG's are sleeping till 3 pm everybody that wants to can go to that thread and see them. |
Woodpecke® | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 08:41 pm     Nice list, Ryn. Can we add a #12? Moderators required to have a sense of humor before deleting posts which contain sarcastic references directed at houseguests. Some of the best posts are nixed because we don't want to "offend" Roddy fans, for example. It's all in fun and they are hamsters, aren't they? |
Moderator | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 09:25 pm     as long as you don't use the word "smarmy" you'll be okay Woodpecke® Mod(cw) |
Bunny | Friday, May 30, 2003 - 10:36 pm     Thank you, Ryn - I'll accept your exemption with pleasure and gratitude. And, Pamy, maybe you should start charging people at work for a copy of the daily summaries. You can keep my share of the money just for showering me with so much fuzzy love. I would also like to say "Thanks a month in advance" to the Live Feed Posters, without whom I am nothing. Start flexing your fingers now for all the work ahead. I need ya! Is it time yet?

Woodpecke® | Saturday, May 31, 2003 - 08:44 am     Nice comeback, Mod!  |
Saggkl | Saturday, May 31, 2003 - 09:29 am     I would like to thank in advance the live feed posters also. I do watch the live feeds but I don't catch everything. So kudos to the ones who post. |
Pamy | Saturday, May 31, 2003 - 10:55 am     Great idea Bunny! I will be rich by September! |
Niceguy | Saturday, May 31, 2003 - 04:53 pm     Ryn, you're soooooo right. Some of us(not me of course, right)got so pulled into this little tv show we forgot it its supposed to be just entertainment. Yeah, I expect to be moderated at least once. Here's hoping everyone else here has a blast. I'm sure expecting to have one. Thanks again ahead of time to the live feed posters! |
Squaredsc | Saturday, May 31, 2003 - 07:08 pm     i promise to abide by the tvch commandments for bb4 by staying in lurk mode during this coming season no matter how much i want to make a comment. |
Hippyt | Saturday, May 31, 2003 - 07:24 pm     HAHAHAHAHROFLMAO,Squared,that's the FUNNIEST thing I've read here in awhile!!!!!!!!! |
Sawheel17 | Saturday, May 31, 2003 - 08:52 pm     LOL!! Ok, Ryn, I promise not say"Someone's acting like a dick-____!! Thanks LFP's in advance. It always amazes me how you all do it. Yay!! Bunny tails again. I so missed this stuff last year!! |
Wendo | Sunday, June 01, 2003 - 02:17 am     Re: Number 10, dang, and here I thought it WAS supposed to be my life. What will I do now??? And Moderator, but smarmy is SUCH a descriptive word!!!! LOL! (ok, ok...no smarmy.) I, too, promise to abide by the TVCH Commandments to the best of my ability. |
Chiparock | Sunday, June 01, 2003 - 05:23 am     Without Live Feed Posters BB is NOTHING for me. Living on the East Coast, it just wouldn't be worth it to get live feeds with the HG's being allowed to sleep a good part of the day. TVCH and its wonderful posters enrich the BB experience and make it so much more than a tv show. Kudos to all of you; I truly appreciate your efforts and thank you for all your hard work. Oh, yeah, TVCH Commandments. I live in fear of getting modded so I make an extra-special effort to avoid controversy, even though some HG's are the most miserable excuses for human beings and worthy of EVERY epithet imaginable.  |
Djgirl5235 | Sunday, June 01, 2003 - 04:21 pm     Without the LFP's I would not get the full benefits of BB as I don't (gulp) have a computer at home most of the time. When I do, it's not enough of the time to really benefit from the LF's, so THANK YOU to all of you out there who enrich my BB experience!!!! |
