Can we have a topic where name changing is not allowed?

Lots of people feel the 'atmosphere' has been somewhat lost, due to MN becoming so big and so many people name changing for dubious reasons.

So how about a new topic where name changing is not allowed?

So to post in that section, you choose a different name (much like in Mumsnet local). But you have to stick to that name only.

That way, in that section at least, there would be less arses/goady fuckers/Billy bullshitters and drama llamas, hiding behind name changes.

People will become 'regulars' again (in that section at least) and when you go there to chat, you'll at least 'recognise' other people.

OK I'm sure there are 1 million reasons why this is a stupid idea/impossible to set up, but can anyone think of them? Grin

It doubles up as booze and gin.

Life doesn't get any better, cheers!

Ha. Generic! It can count as your gin if you want. Or anything else (pineapple daiquiri or something)

I like the bear! (Even though it's the wrong colour.)Though I can always post this instead.

Would I be banned from MN if I admitted I have never tasted gin in my life? The smell was enough to put me off and I have never been tempted to try it.

I like gin a lot but find the overwhelming WE REALLY REALLY LOVE GIN GIN GIN GIN GIN on mn overbearing and a bit "ooh aren't we cool and edgy mentioning it all the time"

Therefore, I'm against a gin emoticon otherwise it will be over used and abused

And get rid of the turdfest that is cadburys

TheSpectreOfMorningtonCrescent · 30/12/2015 22:32

I'll stop then. If we can have a gin emot. And summat better than chuffing cadburys.

Maryz if they do a hide poster option I am going for the emoji-heavy first. Maybe a three strikes and you're out type thing.

Catzpyjamas · 30/12/2015 22:18

See your post and mine look the same to me (on Kindle).
At least with mumsnet ones, everyone sees the same don't they?

I think the Hide Poster thread has been bumped again today. I am sure it came up in my Active.
