MNHQ PLEASE! can you put all the benefits cap threads in one place? (and I never normally shout)

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

Pretty please...

I've just come on to this topic to create this thread. Grin

These threads are getting beyond tedious.

The mccann threads were limited to one thread, and it could have been said they belonged in different topics, news (well it was) parenting (re the rights and wrongs... etc and wider discussion) chat (ditto) and yet nobody made that case at the time. Benefits threads are no different and they are starting to give mn a really unpleasant feel, why not just rename it to benefits-r-us.com..

There are about a squillion now aren't there?

Are you reconsidering mnhq, or just embracing the madness?

Yes. Kettle them. The police do it so it must be ok.

Round them up into a small area where they are not allowed to urinate.

There needs to be some serious kettling of these threads. Too spreadouty and zpoiling the whole arena for my liking.

Sad

MNHQ could you just delete them all? Possibly with Deleted by MNHQ for being unoriginal and a leetle bit thick?

MNHQqqqqqqqqqqqqqquuuuuuuuuuuuu

Hully made me say something treasonous. Can you have a word with her please? She's running riot!

FoofFighter · 25/01/2012 15:28

I'm really interested in the whole benefits situation but still think there's too many threads and am sick of seeing the same threads started over and over.

Sorry MNHQ but your reason doesn't make sense, there are posts about children for instance all over chat that could be in parenting>whichever stage for one example.

A Benefits topic would be a huge boost to Mumsnet. Why not, really why not? Why won't you put one on?

And not all of us wear Boden, have 50k+ incomes etc you know.

boredandrestless · 25/01/2012 15:02

I would like to add my PLEASE to this too, sick of the sight of them.

Am off to hide all the ones in active convos now.....

Hullygully · 25/01/2012 15:02

Don't panic everyone, I have created a lovely thread where they can all go and froth and spume together on condition they keep it off the other threads.

I think it's a winner.

AbsofCroissant · 25/01/2012 14:59

WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM

This is like when I was informed that my usual barista at Starbucks, Kenny was gone. They said "we're sorry, but Kenny's no longer with us" and all I could think was "oh my G-D, they killed Kenny!"

Kept me entertained for minutes.

Hullygully · 25/01/2012 14:55

Dazz has gone.

Sevenfold · 25/01/2012 14:54

there are loads more today, I can only assume the op's are to stupid to notice all the others.
please mn hq do something.

AbsofCroissant · 25/01/2012 14:51

MNHQ, maybe send out Darren (was it Darren?) to entertain Hully for a bit? She LUFFS Darren. I think .

Hullygully · 25/01/2012 14:47

Er er er er er...er er er

er er er er er ---er er

GinSlinger · 25/01/2012 14:18

Yes, one thread a day and some PARD, empathy and compassion too. If it's not asking too much.

I was thinking the same thing. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease round them up. It's getting rather dull.

Also, please disarm Hully or tranquilise her or something. It's getting very messy in AIBU

TIA
