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!

I have reported a few posts that were really vile calling posters that voted a certain way all the names under the sun and I had the same reply.

It has given venom and hate a free reign.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 25/06/2016 21:14

It used to happen Ego.

Back when this was all green fields, MN used to be somewhere I'd come to read that sort of discussion. Now I go elsewhere.

I came here to start a thread on exactly this - so please MNHQ can you do it? Thank you muchly

GrimmauldPlace · 25/06/2016 16:05

I'm sick of active being taken up with people demanding reasons for people voting one way or another. One thread is not enough apparently. There has to be eleventy million of them asking exactly the same question. Oh, but then there are the sneaky ones that have a title that cleverly hides what it's about until you click on it and then you have to stop yourself from jamming a pen in your eye because it's another fucking referendum thread.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 25/06/2016 15:49

I'm not sure a lot of engagement is actually going on though, Ego.

DonkeyOaty · 25/06/2016 12:48

I think we'll have to accept that the initial storm of threads will proliferate then die down by next weekend. Hide button deployment wise.

I reported theop this morning with a plea for removal.

Samcro · 25/06/2016 08:17

PLEASE move them
I have hidden them but they are breeding like rabbits

HoneyDragon · 25/06/2016 08:16

Well MNHQ need to close the site then. They did it on NYE .....and justified it.

Surely this is worse because it's real

Kimononono · 25/06/2016 08:11

Yes please!!!!!

Yes please to moving all to the EU ref topic

Thank you

LurcioAgain · 25/06/2016 07:43

Yes please move the whole damn lot into the referendum topic so I can hide it.

downright · 25/06/2016 07:35

I just came on to start the same thread.

It's like splat the rat out there.

SouthWestmom · 25/06/2016 07:14

I agree, I came on here to ask the same thing. It's just more and more of the same 'blame the racist thickos' for us all being doomed stuff. I want to read crap about parking wars and vegan recipes

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

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.

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 24/06/2016 21:41

Usual, I ALWAYS agree with you!

LetThereBeCupcakes · 24/06/2016 20:32

I wouldn't mind them being in chat if people were actually CHATTING. But they're not, it's getting really nasty. Please move them.

I know it's a big thing and it's great that people want to talk about it. I'm just not sure a multitude of threads essentially saying exactly the same things need to be scattered across so many topics. Given how popular it is, the EU topic would always be in Active anyway.

God so many typos there and I haven't even had a drink yet!

What I meant to say is. If I want a bitchfest I'll join one of those threads!
