Moderation Sex Board

619 replies

onirgellep · 13/04/2023 23:06

Back in February Justine* committed to an urgent review of moderation of the Sex Board subsequent to the considerable concerns mainly arising from the longstanding Sex Chat thread

Unsurprisingly, issues continue

Would it be possible to have an update on the progress of the review?

And hear when do you anticipate it being completed and the new moderation put into action?

Thank you

I'm afraid I'm unable to link Justine's post on the thread References to Underage Sex on the Sex Board* page 13

@HornyBee what is so funny about this discussion? I really don't understand and I'd be grateful if you could explain (genuine question - I'm autistic and I think there's something I'm missing).

I know why it was banned.
We all do.
Because people kicked off about it and demanded mumsnet ban it, which they eventually did.

Good. They listened to what posters wanted. They do welcome feedback from posters. They were given it, listened and decided that they had been wrong allowing it. It’s hardly surprising that people. ‘kicked off’, this is a parenting site. 🤣

Also, when the hook up thread was shut down, there was talk on another thread, asking if anyone knew where you lot could all go, an alternative site, to keep the hook up thread going. Amazingly, posters were having trouble finding somewhere willing to host a free hook up chat thread. Why do you think that was? 😂😂😂 And of nowhere else wanted it, why do you think mumsnet would? 😂😂😂

After all, people could demand that the gardening board be deleted but I do not think MNHQ would pay any attention to that.

Tbh they probably would if you made enough of a fuss about it as you did the sex topic/sex chat thread! 🤣

And what reasons did MNHQ have for banning the sex chat thread?

Clearly mumsnet don't want to host those sort of chats and pms.

ANYMORE

Let's not forget people were told by mumsnet at the time that they didn't have a problem with sex chat between adults including a wink wink 🍆 emoji. It went on for over 6 months with approval from mumsnet.

Then they put sex topic in active and people kicked off about the thread so mumsnet back tracked on it and changed their stance.

That also adds to the issue because people were told it was ok. Others then kicked off and so it got banned.

Yes, this is accurate.

MN originally encouraged this kind of content and have handled all this very badly.

The original sexchat thread went on for several months before that with approval from MN too...

Rewriting my last post due to typos

I think it’s part of the fun for them. Plonking themselves DOWN in the middle of a parenting site mainly used by women. Mumsnet letting them, knowing women are uncomfortable, the OVERSHARING some of them over there DO is also a fetish in itself.

DrunkOnLove · 14/04/2023 18:58

down

horridjobescapee · 14/04/2023 18:57

Mumsnet have made a decision not to host that sort of chat anymore

Other websites are readily available, I'm sure, where anyone who wishes to indulge in such activities can carry on to their hearts' content.

Clearly mumsnet don't want to host those sort of chats and pms.

So I'm also cool with where my personal standards are.

Any one who wants to engage in that sort of chat is able to do so in any one of a plethora of flirty saucy sex chat websites.

I don't flirt with anyone I'm not sexually interested in and I never have.

Flirting, and saucy are all euphemisms for sex related talk and behaviour.

Yes of course but I'm sure there's times youve indulged in a little flirting without having to masturbate.

There seems to be a desire to reduce everything on the sex board to the lowest common denominator and then judge it

To reduce that to people wanking with strangers sounds very judgemental to my ears

I'm cool with that.

Also cool with that.

HornyBee · 14/04/2023 18:46

horridjobescapee · 14/04/2023 18:43

Flirty chat isn't something I do with my friends. I keep that for people I am sexually interested in. Since I am now coupled up, that means, at this point, my partner and no one else.

Good for you.
Thanks for sharing.
What's your point?
That everyone else on mumsnet should be like you?!

Okay, I'll ask again.
Why MN?

Aren't there enough hook-up sites on the rest of the internet, without polluting a parenting site with smut?

Also this.

There are plenty of sites on the internet for flirty saucy sexual talk or messaging.

Why mumsnet?
