Lately there has been quite a lot of discussion related to whether certain topics, mainly related to the Aden/Belle relationshipm, are being used for what they are intended for. After numerous unofficial warnings about spamming, SPAG and personal attacks, we have now given several members a final warning before we take further action against them (if they cross the line again). These members have been notified, and they have been made aware of why this has been done; on what grounds we've decided to step in; and what will happen if they still fail to follow our rules.

There have been made allegations that people are being punished or favoured because of their personal opinions, and although we feel no need to justify our decisions, as they are made by a whole team consisting of different people with different opinions; we do feel that there's no need to keep quiet to you about the facts.

- There have been many reports about members breaking our rules related to these discussions, and it is based on our perception of each individual case that we have decided to take action and issue warnings.

- The allegations have been made by both fans and those who don't like the Aden/Belle pairing, just like the decisions have been made by a team consisting of staff of equally different opinions.

- The main problem related to these discussions, although we have also noted other offences; is spamming.

- No allegations or complaints have formally been made to us about the number of Aden/Belle fan fics; this is purely a rumour. People are welcome to post as many Aden/Belle fics as they like.

- All members still have a right to express their opinion about Aden/Belle, and all other storylines for that matter. Nobody in the staff thinks any different, and allegations made by members about others' opinions, have like everything else been dealt with individually, and in the cases of the staff finding the allegations unfair, no action has been taken against the reported members. This has gone both ways, as we have had reports we have ruled erroneous from both fans and non-fans.

Like stated earlier, the main problem has been spamming, and in case there is still confusion about this, here's another explanation:

Spamming is when a member repeatedly posts short, useless posts either unrelated to the discussion, or that simply can't be seen as any contribution to an ongoing discussion. This being said, we're not saying that it's not okay to write "I love Aden and Belle!" etc., because that's not spamming. However, if your posts mainly just consists of that same sentence, or just various versions with the same bottom line, it is considered spamming. A short, not very in-depth post every now and then is okay, but many of you have been taking that way too far.

There have also been made allegations that staff are keeping an extra eye on the Aden/Belle fans. This is somewhat correct, but not really the full story. After numerous reports, complaints and disagreements, we have found it necessary to keep an extra eye on certain discussions, which again has lead to us finding it necessary to keep an extra eye on certain members. However, this has nothing to do with the fact that we alledgedly somehow decided to "get" the people discussing Aden/Belle. When the problems seem to be in these threads, we keep an eye on them, regardless of what our personal opinions might be.

Lastly, as much as we hope that this can be over with this, and that we can go back to having good discussions about Aden/Belle, and Home&Away in general, we would like to make it clear that more warnings will be issued unless the situation in these threads improve significanty very soon. We recommend that everyone take a look at our rules. Some of you are still tiptoeing very close to the line, and we will keep monitoring the situation.

If you have any questions or anything else you would like to discuss regarding the situation, please contact a member of staff by PM, rather than carry out this discussion in this thread; and remember that the board rules also applies to PMs, and not just posts.

Thank you.

On behalf of the BttB staff,

Eli (Moderator)

I suddenly feel like a naughty school kid again - not had that feeling for 5/6 years!!! Apologies mods I will try to stay on topic and keep out of trouble. I know I've been getting a bit grumpy with other forum members the last few days - I've been pretty ill and also had some very bad news about a close relative so my temper has been frayed. I am sorry If I offended anyone.

I got Soap World today, and from the article it sounds like Belle finally gets Aden to calm down and tell the court what happened to him, and the judge sees that he shouldn't be jailed for his actions. Afterwords Belle embraces him telling him that she loves him, but Aden rejects her because he doesn't feel worthy enough to be with a girl like Belle. That might not be exactly how it happens...I will scan it tomorrow and post it when I get the chance.

Thinking about it I reckon from this spoiler we will see Aden in some way try and "earn" her. Maybe he will do something drastic like put his life on the line in order to become "worthy" of her. Surely that will tie in with the development site? That would also shed light on the cryptic clue. "Saviour of them all but at what cost? I don't think they would kill Aden off but maybe he could be horrifically injured in someway? Or possibly end up in prison?

ye i agree, maybe even if they do get back together Aden will still do things to try and earn her full trust back again. i think a job at the development site has certianly got something to do with it.

ye just to second frogg, i am truley sorry for all the bad things i have done. will not happen again!
