As everyone pretty much knows, we're making some changes that will hopefully make BB a better place to hang out, and talk about the amazing Jennifer Lopez! We've listened to a lot of feedback and taken your suggestions into consideration. Sooooo, these are the new rules/guidelines. Please keep them in mind when you post!
1. Respect Jen, her family, and her friends. If you wouldn't say it to Jennifer's face, don't say it here. We are all fans, so this should be the easiest! If you don't like something, fine. State it RESPECTFULLY.
Instead of: "FAIL!" say: "I don't like it. I think she can do better." Very simple.
We
realize everyone is passionate, but please realize that Jennifer VISITS
BB and is a real human being with feelings just like we are.
2. No personal attacks: includes calling each other names, cursing at each other, etc.
3. Respect other artists.
It doesn't mean you have to like or love every artist, just play
nicely. Refrain from using negative nicknames or calling people names.
If you don't like a certain artist, there's no need to keep repeating
it or posting about it in every thread.
4. Everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Please don't argue with someone when it comes to their opinion. If
someone doesn't like a song, outfit, etc. you can't change their mind,
just as they can't change yours. It does not make them haters. There is
no need for a whole thread to turn and concentrate on 4 or 5 negative
comments. Just let it go, and threads will be much more positive.
Remember,
however, that just as someone can post that they don't like it, others
can post that they do. It doesn't mean that they are crazy fans.
5. Remember that this is supposed to be FUN! We're all here on our free time to talk about someone we love and work we all enjoy, so let's be pleasant.
We'll
be editing posts and be much stricter in the next few weeks as we try
to restore the atmosphere and get us all to where we think things
should be. Bear with us, because of course, we aren't perfect, and
we're trying to figure this out. We want to find the right balance. It
is hard to walk the line. We want people to speak their mind, but if
we determine that someone seems to be continuously causing arguments or
problems, we will take the appropriate action, regardless of how long
you have posted on the board.
We also have a "report a post" feature. If you see a post you
think is inappropriate, feel free to report it. In the left corner of
every post is the "Interact" Menu. Click it and select Report Post to
report a post or thread. Add comments and hit submit to send it in. The
user will not know who sent in the report about them.
We appreciate all your suggestions and ideas, and definitely welcome feedback. Your feedback is why we're doing this.
