i erporta ll the name changing cod slaggers

Ledodgy · 21/04/2006 09:22

I can understand the thinking behind it but i can also see it causing more trouble than it's worth. I think there's going to be loads of "Ok who reported me then?" threads.

Why can't we simply have a link to report a thread along with where the links are to watch the thread etc? It wouldn't be so hard to find the post in question then. I don't like it on every post neither. MN has always taken a relaxed approach to moderating, this seems a bit strong to me.

It just goes to you own email thing - I don't use outlook either.

Ledodgy · 21/04/2006 09:17

WE should have a compliment this post one as well to balance it out. Grin

hunkermunker · 21/04/2006 09:09

Ah now that just annoys me because I don't use Outlook and it hangs my PC.

nailpolish · 21/04/2006 09:01

hunker i clicked as i couldnt resist and it went to outlook

hunkermunker · 21/04/2006 09:01

When you click it, does it pop up an Outlook email? Or does just clicking it report the post?

(I will click it by mistake one day, I know I will - I'd like to apologise for that in advance.)

nailpolish · 21/04/2006 09:01

suppose ill get used to it though Sad

nailpolish · 21/04/2006 09:00

i dont like it Sad

Tinker · 21/04/2006 08:49

Keep being tempted to press it just when I post myself!

tigermoth · 21/04/2006 08:16

If it takes the heat off mumsnet, it's OK by me.

Blandmum · 21/04/2006 08:14

i agree tamum

i understand the need, but it is sad

tamum · 21/04/2006 08:13

Yikes, this is awful. I'm really sorry to moan JJ, and I can see how very much easier it will be for you all, but it just gives an immediate impression of strife and backstabbing. There's going to be a climate of suspicion if this stays, I think. It caused endless trouble on eBay's discussion boards when they introduced it because people get so click-happy- it's really easy to click on something because it annoys you, but you have to think much harder about contacting MN directly IMHO.

Sorry :(

charliecat · 21/04/2006 08:05

i dont like it either, maybe a smaller report a post on this thread up near all the other otions?

FrannyandZooey · 21/04/2006 07:58

Hmm.

Shame things have come to this, really. I can see it makes your life easier, but I don't have to like it.

spacedonkey · 21/04/2006 03:30

Good idea JJ!

No problem.

Off to bed now since I have dared to look at the clock and seen what time it is Shock

Have fun with all the emails that will come flooding in when everyone goes 'ooh, what's this' and clicks!
