Nope
post libellous or defamatory comments;
post anything relating to any ongoing or pending trial;
post content which you have copied from someone else (i.e. you do not own the copyright);
use profanities;
post a personal insult about another user;
advertise or solicit;
impersonate another user; or
post material that is deliberately intended to upset other users.
The only thing that it could be is the line in bold, which would have almost everyone banned
EDIT: 2.17 - Offensive Material
You must not post messages that are vulgar, crude, sexist, racist, homophobic or otherwise offensive. We will not tolerate offensive, immature or unconstructive postings.
'[BB Housemate X] is an ugly slut', and '[Random Politician Y] is a prick' are not acceptable. '[BB Housemate Z] is irritating me. Why do they have to shriek so often?' is fine.
Our aim is to make each of our members feel welcome. Racism, homophobia and sexism have no place on our forums and will be dealt with swiftly.
Oh I see, looks like it isn't followed as plenty of members have laid into the housemates with "offensive" postings
