I seem to remember mnhq saying they would consider this, has any decision been made? I would love you all forever, even more than I do now :)

@iamjustapoorboy

Well, if you'd like to reveal all your off-duty usernames, OliviaMumsnet, then we shall know.

Dur of course, Knives and Forks Grin

I still don't understand Manatee's

iamjustapoorboy · 23/11/2012 20:36

Please don't do this MNHQ. I think I might be hidden by many Grin

BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 23/11/2012 20:23

Olivia, what would you vote? Honestly?

@iamjustapoorboy

By page 7 of that thread I linked to above ^^, there were:

34 in favour

4 against

5 not sure

Quite a majority.

Hmm. How many of those were from HQ though??? GrinHmmGrin

Previous thoughts.

I would love a "hide poster" button. I can think of half a dozen I'd hide in a heartbeat.

Jacksmania · 23/11/2012 14:56

Or (K)NivesAndForks rather - oops.

Jacksmania · 23/11/2012 14:55

If you swap the N and the F, NorksAndFives becomes ForksAnd(K)Nives :o

SantasStrapOn · 23/11/2012 14:44

I have said your name out loud loads, Norks. DD is Hmming me, and I still don't get it.

I don't get Manatee's either, someone take pity on me and explain please.

Yes I nicked it from someone like Jilly Cooper I think Grin

SuePurblybiltbyElves · 23/11/2012 13:03

and suddenly the world brightened for a moment and I knew.

That is an oddly beautiful turn of phrase.

I have people who just get on my nerves. Most people are fine with them, it is just me. Hiding would make me happy and not affect anyone else.

BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 23/11/2012 12:34

But if they are trolling they can bugger off.

It would take a lot for me to hide someone.

FivesAndNorks · 23/11/2012 12:28

ooh no not sure I agree with that. If what they post breaks MN guidelines report. If you just can't stand them, hide. They have as much right to be here as anyone else.

OP posts:
BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 23/11/2012 12:27

They could pop a "why are you hiding this poster" q. And if someone is hidden by loads of mners for being a wanker mnhq will see that.

Original poster
FivesAndNorks · 23/11/2012 12:25

Yes, you're right, it would. So you would still be exposed to that person under any name changes. But TBH if they're still annoying you you'd hide them too.

OP posts:
EdithWeston · 23/11/2012 12:24

They need to make it "hide user name" though, not "hide poster", else it could be expose name changes. And that would be horrible for people who had NC'ed in order to post about something sensitive.

FivesAndNorks · 23/11/2012 12:21

they did say theyd think about it
then they'd just hide te lot of us and it'd make their jobs loads easier
Apart from poor tech who would be responsible for hiding new posters for all of MNHQ when they joined.

Mintyy · 23/11/2012 12:19

I think hq are possibly coming round to the idea of a hide poster option. Possibly. It is requested so often, and by so many reasonable mumsnetters, that they surely can't dismiss it as a bonkers idea.

We've just got to wear them down Wink.
