PLEASE READ THIS THREAD

In KIDSNET we could let them use our names and say at the beginning of the thread that they are our DS or DD and they are 8 or 12 or whatever then we would know they weren't trolls iyswim

Rather than them using their own names to log on with cos then someone else could pretend to be them iyswim

Like KANGABOY could be logged on using my name cos if he logged on under kangaboy then someone could also pretensd to be him

The children could choose their own names when the thread has statered but the name on the thread stays the same as the adult

Nonononono! Would completely change the ethos of the board. What is to stop them going on to the rest of the board, plus why would you want to encourage your DC's to take up valuable grown up mumsnetting time?!

would you really just sit your dc in front of the computer and leave them to get on with it though..
Are your dc's that pc savvy that they could leave a thread, and start searching the site cos mine aren't.

baaadddd idea. what if they click on a link with explicit tmi sex stuff in it? or see a title with swearing in it? or read mum having a good moan about them? not a place for kids this site. no way.

What would worry me though is that both my Dses, in particular Ds1 would look at other threads.

TBH I really don't understand why you're so anti this cod /LL
We have dadsnet and gransnet on here so what difference does it make.?
I know there is club penguin, but I haven't got a clue who those children are... on here if there's a problem I know the parents.
I was thinking it could be a regular section for a couple of hours on a fri or sat night so we can take it in turns to police it (mind you I don't think it's a problem their typing is so slow )
We could agree a password weekly and you start your post with the password and that way we know the parents are involved . Obviously you don't tell dc.
So what do you think?

What I mean is that the name on the bar thingy stays the same but within the message the DS/DD can have their own name

Cos I am thinking that the trolls may try to copy someone's adult name but make it be like a child

sort of like in my name logging on as RTkangaboy unless I register absolutely all combinations of my name someone could pretend to be my son

I know hat i meqn but I can't seem to explain it in writing properly
