Never a truer pot kettle moment:
From BBBA yesterday:
"In true Orwellian style it seems that questioning the authority on the Big Brother offiicial site forums will see you silenced - permanently."
What, they think they have exclusive rights to that button?
UPDATE #1: And even their own forumers are having a chuckle. The "conspiracy nutters" comment is especially apt.
UPDATE #2: BBBA admin join the debate. The junior one eagerly consults The Moderators' Manual:
"If offends you so much don't read it."
Another overrules and decides more humour is what's needed:
"It takes a hell of a lot to get banned from these forums and we don't even charge for them."
Should someone tell TiGS the OS doesn't really charge people to use their forums?
Nah.

Uh oh Mic. That 'prentice moderator ya mention is going to turn all purple agin.
Mica they do charge to access the premium forum, which is what TiGS is referring to.
I have no idea how they ran with this rumour. One idiot was crying about having their thread deleted on the OS (because it was offensive) and suddenly Big Brother is going on a "deletion spree".
I had to laugh at this:
"For a genuine exchange of honest opinions on Big Brother, why not sign up to our forums instead?"
These clowns delete and close threads just like the OS mods, except the BBBA team are rude and abusive about it. They also let hostile users continue antagonizing other posters with it only becoming a problem if the mods or one of their friends are insulted.
Their hypocritical bullshit makes me sick and I'm swapping to the OS.
The Orwell part IS impressive.Who knew the cowboys knew.
From the ever so smart, half human half chemical, self-involved, producing zero results, just plain stupid person they call Steph.
"As for our front page "news", we post rumour and speculation as well and if offends you so much don't read it."
(Nice grammar and punctuation)
Hate to break it to the "lets play good brainy like people stuff" gal, but one needs to check out the definition of "news", if your passing along an event that is factual and passing it along to many a person, thats news, if its BS then its rumor.
Also, if you see a bunch a squiggly lines on a page that form letters then words, you don't know what it contains until you read it, after which the brains chemical reactions form an emotion based on core beliefs, some of these emotions (as we need to be clear when addressing BBBA) can be happiness, sadness, excitement, anger or confusion.
You can't form an opinion of something unless you read it and you can't say "don't read it if your going to be offended", it's not the way reading works.
Now I would bet a months wage on the fact not one BBBA admin has ever read 1984 let alone "a book" without pictures in their entire lives. They really need to spare us the totalitarianism analogies.
BBBA, when it comes to banning and censoring, no one is better at it than you, you create a whole site to slam a TV show and you complain when they say a few things back at you.
Well, what do expect from a bunch of loser wannabes like BBBA?
This is what happens when people who answer phones for a living try and step up a little, pure self-humiliation but a good humbling lesson that they should accept their station in life, even if your station is just Stopping Place No.14 (Thats a Melbourne joke :P)
