Because there are so many. And they are so unpleasant.

Pretty please...

Am I being naive in also hoping that a benefits topic would be a good thing for the future for people to ask questions and get advice on their own situations?

I think it is difficult too.
But I can't escape the suspicion that they are hoping it will burn itself out.

I am not advocating deleting/banning etc. I just want them all on one thread so they are easier to ignore and stop overwhelming active convos.

As I said, they did it for the McCann situation which definitely had parallels with what is going on here

It has been appalling this week.

People are being reduced to c&p comments across three or four threads to get their POV across - and it's ridiculous.

i have reported my post and asked mn hq ro look at this thread again.
I know that a lot of sn posters are fed up with the DLA bashing.

Hullygully · 27/01/2012 16:04

But not obviously if there is bashing and attacks.

Fo0ffyShmo0ffer · 27/01/2012 16:04

Jesus THC Sad

Hullygully · 27/01/2012 16:04

I think it's difficult for them, they are trying to stick to their own rules and not be accused of political partisanship (I imagine)

TeWihara · 27/01/2012 16:03

Surely accusing someone of lying about being disabled is troll-hunting? 'cos that's definately banned.

FoofFighter · 27/01/2012 16:03

THC I reported that thread too, was disgusting. Hope you are ok and don't take those comments to heart

Fo0ffyShmo0ffer · 27/01/2012 16:03

Stupid stupid stupid.

They suck you in and ruin your day.

When I report they say they'll look into it then nothing happens.

ShirleyO · 27/01/2012 16:00

What the fuck Human?

KatieMiddleton · 27/01/2012 16:00

I started a thread in Site Stuff in anticipation of the benefit bashing threads earlier this week. I wish I had been less apologetic and jokey because after this week I think I was right Sad

TheHumancatapult · 27/01/2012 15:59

nothing I reported one where someone queried the fact that im probably not disabled and yet noth and that comes under peronsal attack

TheHumancatapult · 27/01/2012 15:58

mnhq

you let things stand as you reckon it can educate people but some people just dont want to be educated .
And when they get answers they dont like
they go and start another thread bashing again

Hullygully · 27/01/2012 15:58

Nothing so far, I've just started. If we all report the twats en masse, they'll do something just to stop the ag

Report them.

They reported my two teeny weeny fight back threads.

Report them.

Since having my gun removed I have begun reporting posts on the grounds of fantasy, lies and intolerable twattery.

ShirleyO · 27/01/2012 15:55

It's fucking AWFUL.

FoofFighter · 27/01/2012 15:52

YY to maryz

That's why I posted on this thread as I came in to ask about it.

I think possibly your idea might be the way to go sadly!

Sevenfold · 27/01/2012 15:51

obviously there are some very thick people on mn.
they can't read that there are loads of threads on the subject,
twats

Honeydragon · 27/01/2012 15:50

and I've been on three threads now, three!, where we've been having a larf talking about daftness and people come on and start arguing about the frigging benefits.

Then people go "off to a benefit thread you" and they get the bloody hump and ruin everything.

I cant report them its a free forum. But I could send them to a designated thread. People are running amock now thinking we all really want to hear there opinion. Well I don't, I want to talk about wank badgers and etheral Bodenites and Hully behind her back not fecking benefits!

Garrgh!
