So:
The bastard Daily Mail cuts and pastes very personal stories from MN, discouraging others from opening up and seeking support.
Trolls come on and waste everyone's time, increasing our cynicism in genuine cases and discouraging others from giving support.
Spammers jump on any related (or unrelated) thread and post a link to their crappy product, wasting MNHQ's time in weeding them out.
Hairy handed truckers come and get their weirdo jollies from MNers seeking sexual or physical advice.
Isn't it time we became a closed forum?
I appreciate that wouldn't completely solve all these problems - but it would surely reduce them.
Otherwise, I'm worried the site is going to die, or become limited to the most bland and anodyne threads (lentil recipes and so on).
This is a genuine AIBU - I am not at all techie so there may be downsides I haven't thought of.
Open to debate...
