The Bold and the Beautiful - MESSAGE BOARDS

For those people who may not have noticed, there are new and strict guidelines for posting. Please read the very first thread on this message board before posting so that you don't break any rules.

So far, I see that two people have been sanctioned with 3 day bans for breaking the rules.

To what degree are you going to take calling a character a name? As an example would calling someone a "Witch" violate the rules?

Here is an excerpt from the new guidelines. After reading it, I hope it helps to answer your question:

Abuse: We do not allow flaming, actor or poster bashing or baiting (insults) of any sort whether it be acting or physical appearance, profanity, racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual orientation slurs. We do not allow sexually-oriented material, nude avatars, or any other offensive material on the site. We reserve the right to remove postings that defame, insult or are abusive to any poster or actor, without question. We encourage you to use constructive criticism and tact. Debate/ argue the point, don't argue with the poster! (*Insulting the character by changing their name to some offensive name is considered baiting, childish and offensive to women. Example: Amber - Amwhore, Phyllis, Phylthy, etc. This is not tolerated.)

I like the new rules keeps people from having to resort to insulting people to get there point across it is a soap afterall not real.

It keeps this board from sinking to the level of some of the other boards I've been on! It also calls for all of us to respect one another!

Well done moderators adults should be able to express their opinions on a TV show without schoolyard name calling

exsactly.

I am so glad the moderators will be monitoring the comments closely now.

Lets all remember...the soaps are just a story and not real. We are all friends and need to be having fun.
