Has there been a change in the tone and policies at TVCH in the last day or two...a certain crack down?

Kelli, on advice of counsel, I am exercising my rights under the fifth amendment.

Nate and Ali did a joint DR after their luxury dinner. It was briefly on the show.

Remember last year when all the guys did one with their facial masks on after the group facial?

hmmmmm....does anyone feel free to comment on the reason for any apparent tightening of the rules??

Kelli, I can't comment on the reason because I don't understand the reason.

Thank you Laisey (if necessary, I can open up a spot in my witness protection program for you). I just wanted to assure myself that I wasn't the only one who was noticing a difference.

Kelli, there is no change in policy. The rules are still the rules. We have always said that while we try to catch everything, we don't always. We are an all volunteer staff, and we don't promise to catch every single rule violation. We do try to moderate most of them, however.

That explains any inconsistency you may think you see in moderation.

Kelli, thanks for the offer. I hope you have plenty of spots available because you are definitely not the only one.

Thank you mod,

I would assume some situation has prompted the moderators to take a more vigilant approach of late?

(or are you trying to tell me that I am the only one who hears the voices).

Kelli, yes there does seem to have been. A couple of good threads were pulled too. No, you're not the only one noticing. I think I had a whole post pulled and can't remember what I said in it, lol. I think it was something about how Ali was acting towards Nate.

I'm sad to see this happening, as when I have been other boards that got 'over moderated' eventually they just closed. I'm not saying that could possibly happen here; it's just that the flow of conversation comes to an abrupt halt at times.

Umm, can I be in your witness protection program too?

Since another thread has disappeared, I'll post the question I was about to ask in that thread here. The subject is bikinis and my question is who was the last female (if any) who did not wear a bikini? I just wonder if they are instructed to bring bikinis.

Kelli, You're hearing voices??? Are any of them Dana's, lol.

Kellirippa, no, there has not been any effort to take a more vigilant approach. :)

Threads that are strictly for the purpose of bashing HGs, other posters, or any other celebrity are always pulled.

Also, threads that turn into poster wars are also often pulled. While it would be ideal to just remove the offensive posts only, that can be a very time consuming task, and we don't always have the time (remember, we're volunteers, and we have real lives too!). Sometimes it's more realistic for us to just pull the thread, rather than try to clean it up to conform to the board rules.

Finally, we also pull threads if the same subject is being discussed elsewhere. The board gets very slow if we have too many individual discussion threads in the BB GD area.

These policies have been in effect for every BB, nothing has changed.

As for the voices, we can't help you there. :)

Thank you god-father...I respect your reply.

('but come on MK, between you and me, it's been kicked up a notch....bamm*)

*thought I better add, that "bamm" is a pop cultural reference to chef Emeral Legase's catch phrase, "kick it up a notch", bamm...and is in no way meant to be violent!

Kellirippa, if there have been more posts/threads moderated in the last day or two, it's really because there have been more violations of the rules and/or more moderators with free time. Sorry, no conspiracy here. :)

Kelli, If you will search the threads, you will be sure to find one where bellinis are being served. This will take care of the voices because you will then be seeing faces to go with them.

ok, thanks...

(the voices told me to ask those questions, I'll take my meds and it's all good).

Question for a mod...
I was doing some LFP during the Luxury comp and I incorrectly stated that ALi had figured out that the word was LAUNDRY!. It was actually Jun who figured it out. Could one of you do me the favour of fixing it for me. It was in my post at 11:31am today.
Gotta give credit where it's due, and all that...
Muchly appreciated, I know we keep you busy

Question for anyone...
I've been away on business since Tuesday and missed tons....did some reading to catch up but here goes...
All the HG's seem to be being really nice to each other this morning...is this the result of Dana leaving or did I miss something? Seems like the atmosphere is much lighter within the house.
thanks :)

Happy, I think you can draw your own conclusions. Let me just say... nail, head, hammer! <grin>
