@MNHQ please could you move these into the Royal Family board? They're all over AIBU.

Yes please! Driving me crazy. People have lost all perspective

We could start massively derailing them like people were wont to do in ye olden days.
Post pics of kittens, or Terry Wogan's credentials, or a bat or sth on each rabid thread. Or start a completely unconnected conversation so all the nutters think it's them gone mad.
I'm sure HQ would secretly thank us.

Ah, feeling nostalgic.

I’ve just been reporting them all. Every single sodding one.

I doubt it will make a difference. Unless people stop posting en masse. Bet you get the same reply that I did (above), it's a standard one.

Does anyone remember how everyone used to bump all the other threads so that the dross got lost at the bottom?

Used to be when the spammers were out in force and no night watch.

Needs more than one person to do it though...

Topseyt123 · 16/12/2022 18:00

Yes please. Get rid of them. They are utter bile and a total nuisance.

AWaferThinMint · 16/12/2022 17:53

They don't seem to move threads anymore. Makes a nonsense of having the specific locations. Just have a huge forum

GeneratedRandomly · 16/12/2022 17:51

As usual, waste of time complaining:

*Thanks for flagging this - as this is such a big topic in the news right now, we think that this thread is okay where it is but we'll keep an eye on things and move it if we feel that it would be better suited elsewhere.

Don't forget that you can hide threads if you'd rather not have to see them.*

Newwardrobe · 16/12/2022 17:41

Or programme a klaxon with someone screaming Wrong Topic every time someone starts a thread in the wrong place.

Glassofwhatever · 16/12/2022 17:07

It'll die down really soon, well at least until his wretched book comes out 😒

GreenLunchBox · 16/12/2022 17:05

It's disgraceful, and I agree it's putting me off coming on the site

Oh, I remember those days. Good idea. Last time I started reporting something like this the response was that it created interesting discussion or some sort of twaddle. Eventually the threads started to appear in the right topic so I assume it wasn't just me that had stopped bothering with the site.

Maybe the posters that keep going on about it are Premium users and exempt from posting in the right topic.

Another plead from me. I'm sick of scrolling past them, all banging on about the same shite.

Port1aCastis · 16/12/2022 16:54

Yes please move all those threads to the Royal Family topic so I can hide them, I'm getting, sick of bile and bots clogging up active.

Yes please can you create some kind of secure holding pen for these completely unhinged meghan haters? You can call it 'crazed meghan hatred echo chamber' if you like.

With every new thread, it's further proving that they did the right thing in leaving.

This. New threads about them are popping up all the time. Enough.

I think I will report them for being in the wrong place. Every sodding one of them. Just hidden another one in AIBU. Bastard things.

I’m going to do this as well.

Pieministers · 16/12/2022 14:34

Oh god, please move them. The relentless obsessive dissection of H&M on here is beyond tedious and at least if they’re all in the correct topic, those of us who don’t care can hide it.

Shesasuperfreak · 16/12/2022 13:44

Its mainly pro Kate and Wills threads, which is making me thinks its some of the 87 people that the watchdog highlighted in the doc.

Now that's interesting.

Can you trace IP addresses MNHQ?

Yes!
I've never agreed with users' requests to move threads around but the astroturfers and racists all over the place is dreadful.
They don't even bother to see if there's already 3,874 threads also spewing racist bile, they just add another to the cesspit.

ProtectorExtraordinaryOfTheCantonsOfNim · 16/12/2022 14:16

I've hidden the Royal Family board but it hasn't worked and I have to hide each thread individually. So the rest of you can feel a small part of my pain (I've hidden AIBU as well, and that one has taken, so it sounds as though I may actually be better off at the moment).
