The million or so EU Referendum threads

Is there any chance these could be moved into the actual EU referendum topic? Getting a bit fed up with hiding them all from Active. Thanks!

Ah brilliant.

It's a very important discussion (all 300 of the threads) and one I am enjoying partaking in, but absolutely no reason for them to not all be together in the right place so people can hide them. They'll still show up in active convos.

Thanks HQ! Wine

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 26/06/2016 13:17

cough I think we need a proper democratic vote about it.

bibbitybobbityyhat · 26/06/2016 13:14

Ego - the threads will still dominate active conversations. They are not going to get lost! People who only look at Chat and Aibu aren't here to talk politics.

Kummerspeck · 26/06/2016 13:13

I am disgusted at the ageism, snobbery and appalling insult directed at Leave voters voters this week which has been allowed to stand

According to MN this week all Leave voters are low IQ, uneducated, racist, old men who were completely uninformed or voted solely on what was written in the Sun or on the side of the battlebus. Who knew there were 17 million of those in the country?

Disgusting stuff! I am seriously considering walking away after MN being part of my life for over 10 years and good friendships been forged on here

Glad to see you will be moving threads to the correct topic, HQ.

I fully understand why you can't delete every single unpleasant message. Feelings are running VERY high and there are some remainers (myself included) who feel absolutely livid about this referendum, the result and the fall-out. It makes steam come out of my ears that people are suggesting we should all just nod and smile and accept the outcome. I don't fucking accept it and I never will and I will never forget that a member of my own family voted out and I will never ever forgive them.

So, just this once, I do not think everyone needs to calm down and talk nicely.

Move the threads so that those with their heads in the sand who are not interested can hide the whole topic!

Hi all,

Thanks for all the feedback.

We've had a lot of requests for threads about the referendum to be moved to the Referendum topic, so we are going to start doing this so that people can hide the topic if they wish.

Thanks again!

@BankWadger

I am really really upset by this reply I recieved from MNHQ today

Hi there BankWadger

Thanks for your report. There's been a lot of goadiness on every front today so we're letting a lot of it go where posts don't actually breach talk guidelines, but we will make a note of this and just make sure it is just a one-off rather than a habit!

Hope you have a lovely weekend

Iona
MNHQ

So has decided, that just this once, it's okay for people to be goady fuckers. Well I guess HQ were on the leave side then, and don't give a flying toss about a large proportion of their users. If had been worded differently (We're over whelmed, we just can't keep up) I wouldn't be so upset, but this just reads as, Nah.. Fuckit. The twats can be unreasonable twats.
If people acted like this after the general election they were pulled up on it. A vote that has far deep reaching permanent consequences however and it's game on to allow all sorts of nastiness at a time when further division is the absolute last thing the nations of the British Isles need.
If I could take my regular thread away from MN and keep that lovely swearyness in my life, I would be seriously considering deregistering right now. That I can't is the only thing keeping me here right now.

Very very sad right now HQ.

Hi there Bank
We have been wading through treacle for about a week now with reports, there are many that aren't a quick and straightforward personal attack that we can easily delete.
Instead we've had plenty of reports where we have to read a post, or even a long thread to look into context and decide whether the post falls on either side of a line between free speech and hate speech. We don't like to make snap judgements.

When emotions run high which they have been for the last couple of weeks, we can get behind see RebeccaMN's post here to explain more

We are but human and we sometimes get it wrong (for which we apologise)

You'll note, we hope that Iona said "where posts don't actually breach talk guidelines, but we will make a note of this and just make sure it is just a one-off"

We rarely delete things that don't breach our guidelines.

We're sorry that you feel that we don't give a toss about our users - nothing
could be further from the truth.

May I reiterate a plea from another thread?
Whichever way you voted, please leave the personal attacks out and remain civil

Peace and love
MNHQ

FFS. It's been like whack a mole with them all day.

I want bad neighbours, parking, obscure etiquette problems and Pils, goddamn it!

It wouldn't be so bad if people could just look at the eleventy million threads already started rather than just starting a new one but no. They just have to start a new thread about what Brexit will mean for their pets. And the horrible behaviour on some of them. They need a link to the spirit of MN.

IPityThePontipines · 25/06/2016 23:40

Why? It's makes a change from emotional vampire trolls.

MNHQ are never that strict about tidying up threads, so I doubt they'd start now.

Sparklesilverglitter · 25/06/2016 23:37

I agree it would be great if they was all moved to the EU section.

It wouldn't be so bad them being chat and AIBU if people could talk about it properly without getting nasty to each other there is even personal attacks on each other Sad

SouthWestmom · 25/06/2016 22:05

I've had a response and basically they will be left and we need to hide them.

Mummylin · 25/06/2016 21:25

I have hidden over 60 threads since yesterday all to do with the EU. Some in chat, some in AIBU. I am sick to death of seeing all the spite. Think I will have a couple of days away from here.
