Mumsnet Talk

The following words:

aunt flo
plasma screen TV in any context other than a geeky one.

Starring would be acceptable. You could make it opt in so the huns can get on with it and I don't have to cry "my eyes! my eyes!" every 40 minutes.

Threads about the following:

Benefit bashing Or at least put a warning on the thread titles like BIGOT in big red letters. Possibly flashing. I feel this could be one use of a ticker I could support.

Posters:

Who cannot read a thread properly due to being a lazy arse

Who are hard of thinking

Who are determined to take great offence at what others post regardless of the actual intent of the poster

Who don't say thank you when someone takes the time to give advice

I'm sure there is more. I'm sure others have more. Please MNHQ can you just take a metaphorical red pen to the whole lot?

<awaits someone to come along and suggest banning KatieMiddleton>

<sticks out tongue at RebeccaMumsnet>

Can we also please ban the non returning to a dramatic thread and the leaving of posters permanently wondering about the outcome.

YY lifesalongsong. I think MNHQ should email then and demand them to come back with an update. Give them say, 2 weeks and then ban them if no return.

Or round them up and put them in the stocks.

YADNBU

KatieMiddleton for Queen!!!



Can we add 'posters who add a one-off nasty comment, purely to insult and then don't return to the thread as they are knob heads cowards'?

Seen a few of them recently.

Good idea about the emails Katie, I have lots of threads on my watchlist atm that really need a further update

YY Brian you may add.

Ooh, people who namechange just to be vile. If you can't say it in your normal name do not say it at all.

YANBU but can we please add poo threads to the list, although saying that, all the frothing about benefits seem to have gotten rid of those, but come summer they'll back.

YY. A big Poo alert. Like the benefit one but maybe Code Brown!! in a brown diamond in the thread title??

brown diamond in the thread title??

What about an automatic ban for textspeak and hunning.

poo threads? I seem to have managed to avoid those, thankfully...

And people who forget question marks.

There should be starring for text speak and hunning and then a polite email from MNHQ asking the perpetrator to desist. They might be new and not have read any MN threads before.

A second offence needs banning mind. <harsh>

A gentle spanking for the forgetting of question marks (I forgot one earlier today).

You haven't lived until you've seen a poo thread grubbalo. Sadly they have all been deleted I think.

<bends over to receive spanking>

We could <whispers> have a ban on posters demanding an update on sensitive threads where the op doesn't want to come back of course.

Working on the principle that most of these threads are made up bollox (and so the troll op can't be arsed to think of an ending come back) OR the op is genuinely distressed and no amount of sarcy comments and demanding whinges will make her.

Yes to the banning of posters who shove one nasty comment in the middle of every thread they are on, but never bother to actually give advice, support or opinions - wtf is that about

We could <whispers> have a ban on posters demanding an update on sensitive threads where the op doesn't want to come back of course.

That would be fine so long as RebeccaMumsnet made up a satisfactory ending instead.

We could ban posters who unreasonably dictate that they name is pronounced differently to how it is pronounced, maryzzzz.

Please please please ban grabby and entitled.

Could we ban poster names that are hard to spell so I have to keep scrolling up to copy them when I want to write them down?

I always forget before I get to the bottom of the page to my post and I have to keep going up and down, up and down.

Its very annoying.

Thank you.

Or posters who don't have an obvious abbreviation (like yours) MrsDV.
