The TWELVE Commandments of a PBB Author:

• Listed below are the things you can and cannot do in the Big Brother Author House. Big Brother expects you to comply with these rules and reminds authormates that failure to do so could mean you being asked to leave the Author House immediately.

1. You must listen to Big Brother at all times. <!>

2. You shouldn't use your accounts to message other authormates / authorguests. A different messaging strategy will be introduced by Big Brother to communicate with others that Big Brother CAN SEE. <?>

3. You shouldn't pass or inform your individual / secret tasks to other authormates, authorguests, or outsiders out of the competition. <!>

4. You shouldn't  reuse or heavily refer phrases from already-published Wattpad novels/poems/works when doing writing tasks. <!>

5. You shouldn't change passwords assigned to your group accounts (known as "Author House" #1 or #2) to hide messages from Big Brother and write secret messages with the hiding of your works. <!>

6. You shouldn't  LIE. <!>

7. You shouldn't stay inactive on Saturdays (deadline of weekly tasks; eviction night) and Sundays (giving of new weekly tasks; nomination night). <?>

8. You shouldn't  refuse to talk or not talk at all to other authormates. <!>

9. NEW RULE - Auhtormates aren't allowed to speak to ANYONE outside the competition, hence the main rule of any PBB franchise. These include private messaging, commenting, or broadcasting by any means when you have entered your specified Author House. However, you can still post / update your works, follow people and vote for other stories you read, but STRICTLY no commenting or communicating with outsiders. Big Brother will make sure you leave a notice on your profiles / message boards that you are aired at PBB and cannot talk to them by any means.-  (THIS RULE DOES NOT APPLY TO AUTHORGUESTS OR GUESTS IN COMMON) - <!>

10. NEW RULE - You should always wear your official PBB Authors In-badged profile picture to signify your position as an official authormate / authorguest throughout the whole competition (unless evicted). Not wearing the proper profile picture solely means that you aren't an authormate / authorguest and you can no longer join the competition if you can't follow this simple rule. <!>

11. You should know that Big Brother reserves the right to change or adjust the rules in this book as deemed necessary.

12. You should know that all decisions made by Big Brother are always final and irrevocable. Big Brother depends on you adhering to a strict set of rules and conditions.

The Big Brother Author Houses:

• In entering Pinoy Big Brother, the authormates are divided into 2 groups and are assigned into 2 different accounts both known as Author House #1 and Author House #2. Those 2 separate accounts will be run by the members of the group. The passwords for each group account will be given by Big Brother for safe keeping and monitoring. The BASIC rules for these Author Houses are as follows and will be followed soon <TBA> with other rooms:

1.  Only the message board (The Living Room) can be used to communicate with other authormates. Using your inbox is strictly prohibited as this violates the right of Big Brother to monitor your moves. <!>

2.   NEW RULE - Authormates are STRICTLY PROHIBITED from talking to authormates belonging to the opposite house. <!>

3. Using of the group account's inbox to communicate with other people is forbidden. <!>

4.Changing of group passwords without the proper reason or knowledge of Big Brother is not allowed. <!>

5. Deleting or tampering with works of individual authormates / authorguests or Big Brother designated in the 'works' section is banned. <!>

6. Tampering with the settings set to your Author House is unauthorized. <!>

Voluntary Exits:

• Your decisions are respected in volunteering to move out of the Authors House when you desire. However, your reason will only be validated by Big Brother and assess you with your final decision. <->
