I really wish the sex board wasn’t on active. It changes the whole tone of the Mumsnet board when you click on Active. And not in a good way. If you agree please reply to this post.

It stayed hidden for me, but that is definitely the way I want it.

I agree. And I wish they’d own the fact they deliberately unhid the topic from people who had it hidden too. They blamed a glitch but all my other hidden topics stayed hidden - just not the sex one

Yep. 💯

I agree. Utterly disingenuous to breezily claim its just something they fancied trying when it is obvious from the timing that it is connected to commercial deals. If nothing else I wish @MNHQ would at least be honest about that rather than treating us like fools.

Absolutely this.

I agree.

I dislike that it's on users to hide the topic (often unsucessfully as it keeps reappearing) even those who use the board don't want it in active.

I also really hate the fact MNHQ have said it's nothing to do with outside influences, they just wanted to try it LilyMumsnet - The decision to put topics in and out of Active is always made by MNHQ and it is not influenced by anyone else. We wanted to try Sex in active If they're not going to reverse their decision to have the sex board in active at least own the reasons for making the change, rather than lying about it. 🙄

"We wanted to try it" ... I think you have? Unless your goals were what we're saying unravelling of course.

Do you think women don’t post on the sex topic or something? It’s not all men, men, men over there

Show quote history

How does my comment imply that I don't think women post there? I've posted there under different names. I was trying to say that there seems to be a shift in the site in general (not just the sex board) in the last few weeks, in a way that doesn't come across as "in the spirit" as MN like to phrase it.

I've seen loads of complaints about really upsetting ads, about the sex topic in active attracting more arseholes, from others upset that they are struggling postpartum and clicking on what they hoped would be a helpful post but was an ad for sex toys, etc.
