Does MNHQ Check Our Inboxes?

From what I've seen, looks like some members were either banned from the Reddit Mumsnet forum or decided to break away to form an actual Anti-Mumsnet site. Their welcome thread on that site explains why it was formed.

Dont think it's the mod from Reddit. Seems to be just a member - ex or current.

Well if it’s the mod from Reddit then the site will be over soon enough. It’s a shame in a way as it was easy to use and follow.

Also, I can still see Admin's advert posts on reddit. They may not be affiliated, in that they want the site to stand on it's own (and not be directly connected to Tattle) but they're members of both sites as well as Tattle mods. Which they can be, it's fine but they claim to be miles above Mumsnet both in business ethics and morals. Errr...not seeing it yet.

I have no beef with the new site. There’s space on the internet for everyone. Let’s be honest though, there are hypocrites on there, as well as here. An example.....

People on the new site and MN have complained tattle is nasty because it discusses celebs and IG families, as if that’s never happened on MN and hasn’t already started on the new place?
The M&H royal threads have been particularly unpleasant, as have many of the threads about IG families such as; MOD.

'There were genuine posters who were making a bit of a fuss about steering away from any sort of Mumsnet 'inspiration' and forming their own culture. '
It will be interesting to see what happens when they begin to disagree with each other. Mumsnetters historically aren't the sort to sit quietly and do as they're told.
It seems if the admin agree with an opinion then it's ok, so post after post about here and Justine stand, yet criticisms about Tattle or Reddit are deleted immediately. They even lock threads if the discussion wanders off topic! that isn't allowed apparently. Admin seem a bit power crazed.

Oops, what I actually meant to say was 'baaaa'.

I've read this thread for days and I am seeing exactly what MN posters are accusing the other site of, here.

Shitty behaviour on both sides. Although I do agree that the posting of Lawrence's post was low. None of us know what is behind the keyboard. It isn't fair on Lawrence and the request to remove should have been adhered to.

In fact, it shouldn't have happened.

'So it's like mn lite, only for sheep. No challenging of opinion is allowed, what a shame. Women must play nicely.'

Yes, I'm a sheep. We're all sheep

Exactly!

There were genuine posters who were making a bit of a fuss about steering away from any sort of Mumsnet 'inspiration' and forming their own culture. After being ignored by Admin for a long time, some did come up with some valid arguments and sources on copyright laws pertaining to the name, etc and that was it really.

'You can't say anything like "Oi username, that's not on" because in house arguments mustn't be seen or had.'

And they think mnhq are heavy handed with deletions

So it's like mn lite, only for sheep. No challenging of opinion is allowed, what a shame. Women must play nicely.

Maybe they should change the name to StepfordWives.Chat. I see they've changed the format so it isn't an exact replica, perhaps someone explained copyright to the admin.

There's a post on their busiest forum (initially named AIBU but now changed), by some anon user, about revealing what's happening inside MNHQ. The anon user hasn't posted again since that OP. No replies or updates. Frothers paradise, that! Longest thread on the site, alongside other Mumsnet threads. It's either another approved fake thread designed to stir up traffic or there's a mole in MNHQ - I doubt this.

I am quite shocked actually, I need to get a life and do some washing or something.

I agree.

Admin was/is also part of reddit forum. Advertised her site there but no one gave a crap. She's allowed reddit bashing to stand cos she didnt get the following she wanted from there except a few trolls who've promised to be her spies. There was a lot of slagging off reddit posts among the MN threads but it's somehow magically stopped. Just a few mentions here and there now. Who knows what went on behind the scenes?

I noticed that? They said that people should not police what others post and yet they deleted the posts about Reddit. I doubt many will be happy that it’s something to do with that sub then as I saw a lot of very hurt recipients of their attacks on there obviously thinking it was a safe space of sorts.

There are two or more separate threads and posts about the ignore button. What an invention😂

decent moderation that allows a reasonable discussion about why some posters are never called out, but it often deteriorated in to personal and false accusations.

Same happens there except the posts aren't allowed to see the light of day. You can't say anything like "Oi username, that's not on" because in house arguments mustn't be seen or had. You can indirectly have a go at people instead, as long it's not obvious. So some genuine frothers on that site have no idea what happens under their noses. Others just need something to froth over and Mumsnet is an easy target right now. Atleast here you can see what's happening and decide for yourself what to do. There, the nasty is on stealth mode.

'wasn't a huge deal but when you're dealing with life-changing things, deliberate unkindness stings even if it's about small stuff.'

So sorry Lawrence , the fake 'I'm sorry I'll edit in the morning' post was particularly unpleasant.

Anyone can post anywhere obviously, it does seem sly and underhand for the admin to have purposefully PM'd users here.

I've seen many deletions on there already and it's been what, a week? They're very trigger happy and are treating their users like school children. Wonder how long until someone says hang on a minute?!

They're all tip toeing about on their best behaviour at the moment. Makes you realise how good mnhq are at modding. It'll probably do MN good, people won't hang around there long.

I can see the benefits of both, especially regarding FWR on the other site, we're allowed to believe in biology.

Now this is something worth me signing up for.

'I'm not going to de-reg from here, I've been a member for 4 years'

I've searched my first username and it's actually 5 years. Which @MNHQ will be able to confirm, should they so wish.

I've ignored one person. Didn't announce it. Just pressed the button.

If other people wish to make a song and dance about ignoring people, that only tells you something about them, not about the whole membership.

On a thread on site stuff, Admin said she's running the site with some Tattle mods. It's still there. @Sunnypeople

Oh yes the announcing of who is ignoring who is very funny. Right I am off to name-change now. See you all elsewhere.

I'm with BirchBark.

I intend to remain a member of both sites because I get something different from each of them. There are plenty of sensible posters over there and I enjoy chatting to them. There are a small few I'm not so keen on but that happens on any forum - and besides, there is the facility of an Ignore button.

It's also a breath of fresh air to be able to state biological facts openly.

As I said earlier, join, don't join, fine either way. Hopefully, the bashing on both sites will die down and we can all move on.

Are you implying I'm not genuine?
